Hello Everyone,


I have received several Charles Atlas questions in an e-mail (I have already answered one of them about what I would do differently on another post).

Another question that I have been asked is relating to a Charles Atlas Self Defense Course and If I have it.

The answer is that to the best of my knowledge there never had been a Charles Atlas Self Defense Course.

It is true that he did offer a few add on outline courses on Boxing, Wrestling, Jiu Jitsu, and Hand Stands as incentives to purchase the original course but they didn't really comprise a self defense course at all.

The closest thing to a real Self Defense Course was Joe Weider's 'Terror Fighter Course'. Over the years I have seen many books, videos and courses on self defense and Weider's was by far the best and most practical. Nothing compared to it.
