In my first book, Violence of Mind: Training and Preparation for Extreme Violence (VoM), I talked about the importance of developing specific skills as well as the physical capabilities to make those skills highly effective. In fact, an entire section on strength and conditioning didn’t make it into the final draft of VoM because I decided it was important enough to warrant its own book. Now, nearly eight years later, this is that book.
This is the framework I’ve developed over 30 years of professional experience—Skill-Driven Physical Preparedness (SDPP). It’s not about general fitness, weight loss, or chasing numbers in the gym. It’s a focused approach to strength and conditioning for those who need high-level capability, particularly in self-defense, combat, and tactical readiness, while also preserving long-term health, resilience, and quality of life.
