Upcoming Dragon Door In-Person Workshops
Register early for the most savings on your enrollment! If you see an upcoming workshop near you, or one in a location where you’d love to travel to, in-person workshops really are incredible experiences. After attending an in-person Dragon Door workshop, many people report major changes in their careers and in their lives! This was certainly the case with me back in 2010, and part of the reason I recommend these in-person workshops so much. In the past few years I have had the honor of teaching a few workshops as well, and these have been some of the most fun, challenging, and REWARDING experiences of my life. I hope to get some workshop teaching engagements on the 2022 calendar.
Kettlebell Certifications
What is an HKC Kettlebell Certification Workshop?
The HKC is a one-day in person entry-level kettlebell certification. It centers on teaching you how to do and how to TEACH the kettlebell swing, goblet squat, and the get-up. These three powerful moves can keep you and your clients on the path to constant improvements in strength, body composition, and general health for a very long time. Even advanced fitness enthusiasts know the power of these basics. If you are a personal trainer or group fitness instructor working with a variety of people, be sure to have these moves (and their lead-up drills and modifications) in your instructor toolkit!
Upcoming HKC Workshops
- February 13, 2022 Gaithersburg, Maryland with Master RKC Michael Krivka
- June 14, 2022 Coventry, UK with Master RKC Andrea Du Cane

What is an RKC Kettlebell Certification Workshop?
The RKC is the flagship In Person kettlebell certification workshop from Dragon Door. While many people take the HKC and then the RKC, this is not a requirement. It will help you prepare for the RKC, which unlike most fitness instructor certifications, does require actually preparing to pass tests. You do have the allowance for another 90 days after the workshop to complete your testing and earn your certification
