Why a battle axe? A Battle axe is formidable, quick and resilient weapon

Few barbarian weapons inspired more horror than the axe. While most tribal warriors carried spears or swords into combat, Germanic soldiers were known to wield heavy battle-axes capable of smashing through shield, armor and helmet in a single blow.

This program was designed to turn you into that terrifying weapon.

This program was built for people who take their athletic interests seriously. Not only will you tap into new levels of strength, but will also build a much more resilient body that can survive the rigors of your life/sports far beyond your competitors.

The separation between the good and the great, is the ability to avoid time consuming injuries that sideline you and reduce your ability to practice your craft. Anyone at the peak of their sport or career that requires a high level of physicality is there because they were able to stay healthier and more injury free than their competitors. Yes, you also need hard work and talent, but those are some of the pieces of the pie, not the whole thing.

Become more resilient and avoid injuries

STRETCHING IS NOT ENOUGH. Stretching can be a great tool. But it is also one of the most improperly used tools out there. If you don't have an understanding of what to actually stretch and how to do it, at best you are wasting your time, and worst case scenario, it's compounding your problem. How did you choose your stretches? "I saw it on YouTube", is a poor answer.

Become strong in weak positions

By becoming strong in weak positions, you will no longer be limited by by your own physicality. The limit to your ability to move your body should only be limited by your current knowledge and training progression, NOT by excuses.
