No. Mjolnir is a non-combat workout regimen that focuses on strength, health and fitness. However, it is the perfect partner for people who are currently training (or have previously) in any martial art, sport or active leisure activity.
Will Mjolnir give me huge, rippling muscles?
You will develop excellent functional strength, burn fat and tone muscle without bulking up. Although, heavier Mjolnir hammers will definitely increase muscle size to a degree.
