BIO-

Hi, I’m Doug Setter. Thank you for dropping by my website. I am here to pass on what I have learned about physical conditioning, health and martial arts.

I was born with a club foot, but was lucky enough to get it straightened with corrective shoes. Later, I managed to survive pneumonia three times by the time I was 6 years old. As an underweight kid, I was constantly studying health, fitness and self-defense. Most of the popular advice, did not work for me. At the age of 18, I was considered too skinny to join the army. A recruiting clerk waved me in anyway, believing that I could gain the four extra pounds during basic training. (Yes, in the 70’s, you could be hired based on your bodyweight.). Fortunately, he was right. Through hit-and-miss trying, research and proper coaching, I gained 30 pounds of muscle and went on to do the things that I only dreamed about: becoming a paratrooper, running marathons, competing in full-contact martial arts, (won a championship title at age 40) writing books, serving as a Sergeant for the U.N. in Croatia (former Yugoslavia), climbing Mount Rainier, starting my own business and getting a Bachelor’s Degree.

I hope that you will find this site useful for your own health, fitness and life goals.

In Health,

Doug Setter
