Check out what people had to say about our last release, Hammering Horseshoes! "You Guys Outdid Yourselves!" "You guys out did yourselves with this DVD. I've done some shoes in the past with the technique of "outlasting" the darn things and trying so many different ways that finally one of them worked. I just did two shoes in a row with no apparent effort compared to what I did before (easy ones of course). As usual it's the little things - not the big obvious ones I was missing. It's the difference between having some technique and being too stubborn to quit. I have a long way to go of course before I'd call myself a shoe bender but I'm started (somewhat) correctly now anyway. Thanks Mike!" Chris Rice, Ohio Seasoned Steel Bender "Quality Training Material" "Thanks to Mike Rinderle & Jedd Johnson ... I have been trying to bend horseshoes for several years without success, until my wife got me the ultimate shoe bending DVD for Christmas 2011! GOD Bless Napalm & Beast from the East for putting out quality training materials!! You fellas rock." Jeff Bankens, Louisiana Performing Minestry Strongman "It Was Awesome!" "Hi Jedd, I received the Hammering Horseshoes DVD from you today, and it was awesome! It made me really want to start train with those horseshoes." Karl M. Skjelvik, Norway Grip and Bending Enthusiast "Enthusiastically Recommended" "Mike and Jedd have managed to condense the knowledge that would normally take years of potentially dangerous trial and error training, into a concise and entertaining video package. I enthusiastically recommend this comprehensive tutorial for anyone interested in pursuing the rewarding and richly historical pursuit of bending horseshoes with your bare hands!" Eric Milfeld, Texas Leader in Various Bending Styles "How a 'How-To' Video Should Be" "Bravo! Hammering Horseshoes was a pleasure to watch. The video is very structured and organized, how a training video / "How to" video should be, including step by step examples, some of which are even in slow motion. I especially liked the horseshoe progession ladder. I was impressed. I already know a thing or two about horseshoe bending and frankly I didn't think I was going to learn anything from watching it, but I was pleasantly surprised. That being said, "Hammering Horseshoes" is good for beginners through advanced and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to make a name in the bending community or even if you just want to show-off your horseshoe bending skills to family and friends. Five stars Mike and Jedd!" Paul Knight, Texas Steel Bending Legend You Might be Wondering, Why Should I Listen to Jedd and Mike? There are a handful of very good reason why you should choose us as your mentors in practicing feats of strength. We Love Doing Feats of Strength Mike and I have been doing feats of strength for years and have enjoyed our journeys toward conquering our goals in the strength world. We Have the Hands-on Knowledge and Coaching Experience Sure, Mike and I have amassed some impressive accomplishments and certifications, but the way we like to measure our success is the number of people we have helped over the years Mike and I have enjoyed helping others accomplish their goals with feats of strength just as much as we have enjoyed our own progress. Mike is a leader in the On-line Feats of Strength World, and I have worked with hundreds of people over the years through seminars and my own websites. But probably the biggest reason why you should listen to us is... We Worked our Way up Through Hard Work, Blood, Sweat, and Tears Mike and I started out at the very bottom of the heap in bending. We struggled with the steel that other people would warm up with. None of our success came easy to us - we have had to work for everything we have accomplished. For us, advancing up the ladder with feats of strength was difficult because there was almost no information available to guide us. And now, we want to make the road ahead of you a bit easier to navigate, a bit less windy, with fewer dead-ends, potholes, and speed bumps. That's why we put together this DVD. It's Time to Become a Part of History RIGHT NOW! Bending has been a part of the Legacy of the Oldtime Strongman for ages. Bending huge pieces of steel, horseshoes and hardened tools wow the crowds like no other, because they are not supposed to be bendable! But why does it have to be just the guys up on stage bending these things? Shouldn't it be YOU who starts mangling steel and twisting tools? Anybody can do this IF they have the right knowledge of technique and Mike and I are going to show you everything you need to know! Amagine how cool it is going to be the first time you bend something that for others is completely unbendable! You are going to be a Strongman! I hope you're ready to start destroying everything in your path. All the best in your training! Jedd Johnson Grip Sport World Record Holder, Certified Red Nail Bender and Captain of Crush P.S.
