Functional Fitness -
Kettlebells, Clubs, Maces, and simple movement - without hype or extremes.
Practical training ideas for adults 50+ who care more about how they’ll feel in ten years than how hard they trained yesterday.
Because nothing beats feeling strong, pain-free, and capable as we age.
The Bruce Lee Method
“Research your own experience; absorb what is useful, reject what is useless and add what is essentially your own.”
- Bruce Lee, Wisdom for the Way
Your Functional Fitness journey is your own, unique from everybody else’s - just like your 50-year path up until this point. We all have different levels of fitness, athletic histories, nagging injuries, lifestyle choices, etc.
Everything I share - on this website and on my YouTube channel - is based upon my own personal experience. You should use this information in the way that makes the most sense for you - the way Bruce Lee would. Take this information, learn it and understand it, then modify it as necessary, build upon it, and incorporate it into your program in the way that works best for you.

A practical video library for getting started with functional fitness
There are a million “health and fitness” videos on YouTube. The challenge lies in sifting and sorting through all the information out there and finding the videos that matter - the ones you need, when you need them.
This isn’t a follow-along program. It’s a library you can learn from as you build a practice that fits your body and your life.
Use what’s useful. Leave the rest.
This library of videos is not meant to be all-inclusive or “all the knowledge you’ll ever need”, but it should help you get started faster - in the right direction and with more confidence - than I was able to.
