Another great RKC workshop has just come to a close in San Diego (surprisingly sunny even when it was overcast all day on Saturday*). So many old and new friends were in attendence, that it was great to catch up and hear how everyone is doing in their training and in their lives. Seriously, it was a veritable who's-who in the RKC and fitness industry... Not to mention all … [Read more...] about Short Report from RKC San Diego!
Dragon Door
Why Dragon Door? Why all this stuff works for me….
Yesterday, after tweeting about working on my CK-FMS case study (**Update! I am CK-FMS certified!!!!!), someone remarked that "wow, you're really drinking that koolaid." My wacky personality responded that I was also taking baths in it and asked if my skin had turned a funny color yet. Pretty sure the intended outcome of the exchange was not to inspire me to poke fun at … [Read more...] about Why Dragon Door? Why all this stuff works for me….
Product Review: Dragon Door Kettlebells
They keep getting better and better, honestly - the ones which were at the Orlando RKC had a really nice finish on them, no need for sanding or dremel grinding - which was very good considering I had left such tools at home. I remember thinking how much I liked the one that I used for the snatch test, and how the handle was smooth and perfectly shaped to travel around the … [Read more...] about Product Review: Dragon Door Kettlebells

Orlando HKC Experience – Testing, Making People Nervous (oops), and More! (Part 3)
Finally back to the last installment of the Orlando HKC Recap! We further worked on the Get Up, with a troubleshooting section. People who felt like they had a problem somewhere with their get up volunteered to demo and have the HKC participants and instructors help them improve their form.

The Kettlebell Goddess Workout DVD
Andrea Du Cane's Kettlebell Goddess Workout DVD Going to be honest with you, this is one of my favorite workout DVDs in the whole wide world. Its so good that if I find out that one of my clients already owns it, I give them "homework assignments" from it for when they or I am out of town. The Power Breathing section is fantastic - the instructional portions are … [Read more...] about The Kettlebell Goddess Workout DVD
Super Joints: Russian Longevity Secrets for Pain Free Movement, Maximum Mobility & Flexible Strength
I was house/dog sitting for a friend of mine and noticed that he had one of the earlier DVD releases from Dragon Door, Super Joints. I hadn't seen it in a while, and since the joint mobility warm up that I lead my kettlebell classes through is largely derived from the exercises Pavel introduces on that DVD, it was certainly worth yet another viewing. Really good stuff on this … [Read more...] about Super Joints: Russian Longevity Secrets for Pain Free Movement, Maximum Mobility & Flexible Strength
Zac Zech and the HKC Fort Collins Experience
Many people have asked about the HKC, and one of my clients is planning on getting her HKC soon. While I know a lot of people who participated in the program, I haven't, and I feel like I've really missed out. Since I can't fill in the details of what you may experience if you attend an HKC workshop, newly certified HKC, Zac Zech was kind enough to write an account of his very … [Read more...] about Zac Zech and the HKC Fort Collins Experience
