Why train with kettlebells?
Because they deliver extreme all-around fitness. And no single other tool does it better. here is a short list of hardware the Russian kettlebell replaces: barbells, dumbells, belts for weighted pull-ups and dips, thick bars, lever bars, medicine balls, grip devices, and cardio equipment.
Who trains with kettlebells?
The Russian spec ops personnel owe much of their wiry strength, explosive agility, and never quit stamina to kettlebells. "Soldier be Strong", the official Soviet armed forces strength training manual declared kettlebell drills to be "one of the most effective means of strength development" representing "a new era in the development of human strength potential."
What is RKC?
RKC is a hard style of kettlebell training born in the spec ops of the Soviet Union. In the 1970's select units adopted a karate-based style of hand-to-hand combat. The hard style of kettlebell training evolved in the 1980's to support the hard style of fighting.
My testimonial:
"I started training with kettlebells in early 2009 and I haven't looked back! I became RKC certified and brought this knowledge to my clients to give them some ass-kicking routines that ensure safety, proper form and dosage.This is one of my favorite tools that I use along with the TRX to make endless combinations of challenging workouts for myself and whoever else wishes to challenge themselves like never before!"
