A modernized training guide, charted in thee 16-week periods as originally intended by Georges H bert, using equipment most commonly accessible today (barbells, kettlebells, dumbbells etc.) and easily implementable into a gym environment as well as outdoor training. Simple, effective and tested successfully for two years in this present iteration with beautifully captured moves illustrating how to perform the exercises, this Training Guide is the perfect addition to The Natural Method series.

This chapter of the Functional Exercises portion of H bert's Natural Method and Practical Guide to Physical Education is, by H bert's own accord, complete in its own, standalone in terms of providing fundamental movements and functionality at once. It is also, next to the swimming chapter, the longest and most detailed chapter, hence published as a standalone. While many methods of fighting have sprouted in the last century, H bert's work is very thorough, complete and provides the minimum effective dose of knowledge everyone should acquire to be proficient and useful to protect oneself or others. The drills are well pictured and detailed and simply applicable and universal, likely borrowed from other martial arts training.
