John Brookfield Presents


The Battling Ropes System is a complete strength and conditioning program like no other. It was created and developed by Grip Master and Professional Strongman, John Brookfield, a well-known name in the field of strength athletics. John is a multiple world record holder and the author of the popular book, Mastery of Hand Strength.
John spent over a year developing The Battling Ropes System, for the sole purpose of increasing his personal power and fitness level. Through this advanced training system, his strength and stamina skyrocketed to new heights, despite the fact that he is nearly 50 years old. John has continued to improve, setting new records that require great strength, endurance and mental toughness. After using the Battling Ropes to achieve his own personal goals, John decided to show the basics to a few of his friends- and the rest is history. Today his system is regularly used by high school, college, professional, and Olympic Coaches. That’s because it Works- Hands Down!
Results WILL COME to absolutely anyone who trains with the Battling Ropes. It is one of the best training programs on the market for a person wishing to get in the best shape of their life. The system allows the individual to push their limits to the point of failure- in a safe manner.
Battling Ropes can be used by anyone regardless of their goals. YOU control the system, it doesn’t control you. The system is the airplane and you are the pilot- so you are sure to soar!
Introducing John’s Newest Training DVD

She is currently training and preparing for the 2010 Winter Olympics in the Bobsled.
     In Hurricane Ingrid: The Workout, Ingrid starts out by demonstrating over a dozen of the velocity/wave system exercises. From there, she shows you how to combine these exercises into an effective workout- that can be implemented by any athlete, Trainer, Coach or fitness buff of any age or level. After that, Ingrid will demonstrate a variety of exercises on the Pole System, which is the strength endurance phase of the Battling Ropes training system. You will learn how to use the Pole System exercises to push your quality of fitness through the roof.

TESTIMONIALS
I came in thinking I knew all the basics of the Battling Ropes having used them for over 2 years and what John showed me blew my mind! It was great! I was really happy to see all the other ways of using your Battling Ropes and look forward to learning more great drills. The simple effectiveness of the Battling Ropes is amazing and the manner that you showed the drills made it easy for all to implement into their training regimes. I know we have already added many of the drills to our workouts and have only had 110% positive feedback...they all were cussing during the workout! Ha, ha! The quick hands drill is awesome! I highly recommend John's Battling Ropes training as it is simple, extremely effective and will greatly improve strength, power and endurance like crazy!

Battling Ropes training is great. It is a total body sprint. I nearly blacked out my first try. Days later, my arms were still pumped. I love being able to go full fury without having to worry about something breaking or getting hurt. The workout leaves my lungs feeling larger and I noticed better stamina after only two sessions.

John Brookfield's Battling Ropes are quickly becoming one of my favorite tools for developing power and endurance in every inch of the body as well as an amazing conditioning tool. We have only just begun to tap into the endless potential of the ropes and all our athletes are feeling the powerful effects immediately. This is a must-have tool for athletes; I have seriously never felt anything like this from any other training implement.

John Brookfield is a pioneer in strength training. Once again, he is writing a new chapter in the strength training world. I have been involved in martial arts and strength training for thirty plus years and nobody understands strength training like John Brookfield. My first experience with the Battling Ropes was an eye opener to say the least. The program is incredible. It works every muscle in your body and mimics the fight energy you need for sport, or real life situations. It's truly a unique workout. If your strength training and don't have this program, you are missing out. There is no doubt, John Brookfield's Battling Ropes training is one of the missing links in training. It's a demanding workout that will challenge you mentally and physically, preparing your body to deal with lactic acid. During this workout you are competing against the rope and yourself. You will get results you never thought possible. If you want a workout that will humble you and bring you to a new level, this is it. Thanks, John, for introducing a new era in strength and conditioning.

I've known John Brookfield for almost 20 years, going to back to when he was an active professional strongman in the classic sense and aspired to have the world's strongest hands. John went on to become the second man in the world to officially close the Captains of Crush® No. 3 Gripper and the first man to get certified for bending the Ironmind® Red Nail, which he did in very traditional style. But his book, Mastery of Hand Strength, showed an even greater gift that John has which is a creative mind coupled with an unblinking belief in his latest concepts that has allowed John to keep churning out new training ideas, benefiting both his own training and that of those lucky enough to learn from him.

Thanks, John, for coming to the Olympic Center to teach our wrestlers your Battling Ropes system. It was great to get all the instruction directly from you, the creator of the system. I strongly believe that your Battling Ropes system will benefit our wrestlers in a great way. All of the wrestlers quickly saw how the training will help them go to the next level.

I have known some very strong guys. However, John is one of those super rare guys who is not simply among the strongest in the world, but is truly head-and-shoulders above the rest of us. His specialty feats of strength are inconceivable in their scope and difficulty. All of his otherworldly power comes from his limitless faith and unending innovativeness and creativity. When it comes to developing strength, John smashes through all barriers. He knows no boundaries. Over his lifetime, he has developed thousands of simple and effective exercises and concepts. These home-grown approaches are available to everyone through his books, DVDs and seminars. His approach is simple, easy to understand, field-tested and proven. John Brookfield is a great hero, inspiration and friend to me and many of my other superstrong friends.

John Brookfield has created one of the most unique training systems available to mankind to date. I have worked with athletes ranging from prepubescents to world-record holders. The Battling Ropes are one of those unique training tools that will stay in your “training tool box”. It is amazing what you can do with a section of 50-foot rope. You can train for muscular endurance, cardiovascular endurance, anaerobic endurance, muscular strength, power, and mental toughness with one training apparatus. I have used the Battling Ropes with the following sports: swimming, basketball, softball, baseball, golf, cross country, tennis, football, and especially with mixed martial arts fighters. The system can be adapted in numerous ways by manipulating the length and size of the rope. I even have my 9-year-old son train with a 1-1/4" rope in our den. This system can be used for almost anyone! Thank you for creating a “physiological phenomenon” for the world of physical conditioning!

I was searching for a way of training for strength and speed that would also increase my flexibility. The best Highland Games athletes are also the most fluid in motion. I was talking with John Brookfield and he commented that I should take a look at rope training. He said that it creates forces which act upon the body in ways that normal weight training cannot. Knowing that John is a master at creating new and effective ways to exercise, I decided to pursue his suggestion. John Brookfield and Steve Mosley have produced a system of exercises that make use of heavy manila ropes. They demonstrated for me how to run through a circuit of exercises using a 50' x 1-1/2" inch rope. I immediately knew that Battling Ropes would fill the training need I have. Any athlete who is looking for a competitive edge should begin rope training. It is an intense training that is at the same time very safe. I expect to see Battling Ropes appear in a broad range of athletic endeavors and I believe it will become an accepted means of exercise.

John Brookfield is one of the most innovative and original strength coaches in the business today. His new Battling Ropes system is an amazing approach to total fitness. The ropes are a whole body exercise approach that would benefit any athlete. I am now incorporating his techniques in my arsenal of moves for all my jiu jitsu fighters and submission wrestlers. The combination of strength, stamina, and cardio needed to get those ropes moving puts the finishing touch on my fighter's workouts.

I have to say that the Battling Ropes system is unique and awesome! Only someone like John Brookfield who has spent his whole life experiencing and learning new ways to enhance the athlete's performance could have figured it out! I feel your Battling Ropes system trains the body to maintain power better than anything else imaginable! Thank you again for yet another great contribution to the strength and conditioning world.
