This is a huge honor for trainers and coaches….

You get to learn from a legend.

Developed by respected coach and strongman, John Brookfield, the Battling Ropes System is a complete strength and conditioning program like no other.

John is a multiple world record holder and the author of the popular book, Mastery of Hand Strength. John spent over a year developing this system strictly for himself. He was using this advanced training system to skyrocket his strength and stamina to new heights, despite the fact that John is nearly 53 years old. John has continued to improve setting new records that require strength, endurance and mental toughness.

After using the Battling Ropes for his own personal goals, John decided to show the basics of a few of his friends. They thought that this system was simply the best due to the incredible results that the system produces.

From John Brookfield  – “The Battling Ropes training system was developed about 10 years ago while I was searching for a way to develop strength, speed and power over time. I knew there was a way to sustain these attributes however, there is no real method or principles out there for doing so. With this being said I asked God if he would reveal to me how to do this. Within a short period of time he revealed to me the power of a Hurricane as well as fast moving water in a river or stream. If you think about how the waves of a Hurricane flow you will realize that they are powerful, steadily flowing and there is no lull or stop to them.”

“As I studied the flow of water, I realized that I could duplicate this flowing motion with long ropes. I started to play around creating waves with ropes as I moved my arms and body in different positions. I learned that I could create one big long wave with the ropes which looked like the wave of a hurricane or, I could create a series of quick short waves that looked like a fast moving river. As I continued playing and experimenting with the ropes I realized that my physical and mental endurance was vastly improving as I could sustain longer and longer periods of time with the ropes. I also found out that the training was very cardiovascular and also required a lot of muscular endurance.”

“After using the ropes for awhile I realized that my endurance in everything was much better. Even things I had not done for years was much easier when I went back to them. I was able to sustain better physically but my mental endurance and focus was much better as the ropes force you to stay on task. As I continued developing the system I learned that I was not getting fatigued near as quickly as I normally would and my lactic acid threshold was greatly increasing. I actually experimented and developed the Battling Ropes system for slightly over a year before I showed anyone else.”

As a student of the Battling Ropes, system you will develop the ability to sustain velocity over time. Velocity is the combination of speed and strength so you will become stronger and faster when you follow the system.

You will also be able to train or compete at a higher level of intensity due to the training concepts you will learn. The system can be used as a stand alone system or be implemented into other training methods.

As a coach or trainer you will find that the Battling Ropes is very safe, it produces great results and it has an easy learning curve.

The system has different concepts which are velocity, strength endurance, push/pull strength, the power phase as well as partner and team training methods. You will learn how to train yourself, clients, groups, teams and units in a safe, fun, productive manner.

You will also see that the Battling Ropes can be implemented by all ages and fitness levels. Last but not least the Battling Ropes can never be mastered and you can and will continue to learn and challenge yourself to improve physically and mentally.

The Battling Ropes is the only training method that forces the user to sustain velocity and strength endurance overtime. This course will truly help you climb to a higher level in your own fitness level or sport as well as your clients or teams level!!

It’s your turn! Learn from a legend, earn your credential, get your CEUs and make yourself a lot more marketable while you get better results for your clients!

What do Top Coaches Have to Say about The Battling Ropes System?

John Brookfield can’t count…
And that makes him one smart coach. John’s primary focus is work capacity, task management, and technical efficiency. He uses fundamental patterns and simple equipment to create loads. Sets and reps don’t really apply to the exercise equation. Persistence, patience, and safety are hallmarks of John’s work. Don’t just watch – do what John does. You will learn from both ends – his coaching and your movement experience.

Knowing John Brookfield has been a blessing for me. His ‘old fashioned gentleman’ demeanor is contrasted with his physical prowess and manual strength demonstrated in his ‘strongman’ performances. He understands how to build manual strength and has been a leader in novel approaches such as his Battling Ropes techniques. John has some valuable lessons to teach all those interested in strength.

Very impressed! John’s Battling Ropes system is effective, safe, results-driven and has more depth/sophistication than most realize. Both he and Ingrid [Marcum] are the ideal combination of world-class athlete and teacher – they made the course interesting, fun and challenging (yes, you will work – this is hands-on training). I’ve already integrated the Battling Ropes into the conditioning program for my k-bell sport team and am seeing fantastic results. Great course! Highly recommended!

Here’s what other world-class coaches have to say…

John Brookfield’s Battling Ropes are a unique way to train yourself or your athletes for the up most conditioning for all sports. Football, baseball, MMA, it does not matter. Besides being a great conditioner, it will build a death grip. It’s not just for rehab, but more importantly for prehab. I have a shoulder socket replacement and my range of motion has increased greatly. The ropes can be a serious training partner for sore shoulders or to push your cardio and muscular endurance. The DVDs that John presents are amazing. If you train alone or with training partners I highly recommend Battling Ropes to be a part of your workouts.

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!

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 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.

Frequently asked questions:

Battling Ropes training system different from other training systems?
The Battling Ropes system is unlike any other training methods due to the non-momentum effect. For example, with other methods such as barbells, dumbbells and kettlebells, gravity takes over as the weight goes back towards the ground. During this time when gravity takes over, momentum is used which gives the body and mind a chance to relax. With the Battling Ropes training velocity is used and must be maintained throughout the training. This forces the user to train or compete at a higher level of intensity which will last longer durations of time.

How was the system created?
The system was created by John Brookfield who was using and developing the system for his own needs. John basically created the foundation of the Battling Ropes from the concept of a hurricane where the constant flow of the waves gave him the idea to create a series of waves with the ropes.

Why do you use 50-foot ropes?
Much research was used to come up with the 50-foot rope as the standard rope for the velocity training. The 50-foot rope allows someone to progress properly through the system and continue to get results. Also, we start younger athletes on the standard 50-foot ropes due to the visual motivation factor. For example, if you have a fourteen-year-old female athlete can’t roll the wave or waves all the way to the end, she has visual motivation and can see what the goal is. After a few workouts she can see her waves getting stronger and going farther. This, of course, is very motivating and forces her to work harder.

What are the 100 foot ropes used for?
The 100-foot ropes are used for the Pole system, which is the strength endurance phase of the system.

What is the difference between the Poly ropes and Manilla ropes?
The poly ropes are a non-shed synthetic rope which are water resistant and made for long life and durability. They do not shed fibers and are perfect for inside use where you don’t want the shedding. The traditional Manilla ropes are like the ones people used to climb in gym class. They are durable, however, do not last as long as the poly ropes. They do shed some fibers at times and are good for outside training or training in a garage or basement.

How long should it take to get results?
You will immediately enjoy and see the tremendous benefits of the training. However, velocity training is a missing link in training and will be challenging. With some steady work and determination, your body will start to adjust to the velocity training and you will see results that will transfer into your sport or personal battlefield.

Are there different concepts to the training system?
Yes, there are actually seven different elements and concepts to the Battling Ropes system. The first concept is maintaining velocity which is the sustaining of the waves with the ropes. The second concept is the strength endurance phase which is the Pole System training. The other five methods have not been released yet.
