Sorry for the obsessive prying, but a "Repairman Jack Workout Regimen" might be just the thing I need to keep active for the next few months.

Try this : http://www.crossfit.com. It is a free program. It is what I do and it will kick your ass but also get you into a real shap as it is not segmented and is very varied and general. Read the "what is fitness" PDF and go to "getting started" and read some of that. Also the FAQ on the getting started page has some videos of some of the workouts and they will motivate you to workout and then some.

fpw Wrote:I imagine he uses a combination of isoltonic and isometric workouts, with flexibility exercises and katas as well.

Trading punches will just as easily wear you out as the opponent. The first key is to avoid a fight, but if that becomes impossible, take the opponent out quickly. I've trained with some black belts who are fast, very fast. But even these guys, in close quarter grappling, can encounter problems. Look for their weak spots, like knees, groin, throat, eyes. Be able to use anything as a weapon - hands, feet, sticks, knives, and guns. I've always admired Jack's creative ways to let others do the heavy work, like Eastwood in A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS (based on Akira Kurosawa's YOJIMBO).
