Too Slow, Too Weak, Too Exhausted, Too Inflexible—Which Do You Want to Overcome?
“Russian Special Forces Strength & Conditioning Secret is Out!”
“Hardstyle” kettlebell training was developed in the 1970s by Russian special forces to complement their adoption of “hard” Karate-based martial arts. This new style, with its focus on maximum strength and power, was differentiated from the classic sport-style of kettlebell lifting, with its emphasis on efficiency and energy conservation.
It is possible for any busy man or woman to improve their entire physical tone through kettlebell training, without taking time away from their other pursuits to visit a gym. My own wife, through her own curiosity and initiative, get her pre-pregnancy body back with kettlebells in thirty-four minutes per week. Not per day. Per week. Without driving anywhere. Imagine that. That is the power of kettlebell training.
If you are weak and flabby, kettlebells make you strong and hard. If you are already strong and hard, they make your stronger and harder.
I am very excited to offer RKC/Hardstyle kettlebell training men and women of all fitness levels in the Savannah area.
What You Get From Me That Most Other Trainers Can Not Provide
- “Ah-ha” technique drills that literally do not allow you to fail. You can immediately take the skill you learned from the drill and apply it to your other lifts.
- Safety and performance at the same time by using techniques that evenly distribute loads throughout your body. When you're not lifting with just one muscle at a time, you don't need isolation machines to “make you safe.”
- Reverse engineering of the strongest and most coordinated people and how they naturally move. Whatever your favorite sport, the top athletes did not get there because of endless hours on a treadmill and isolation exercises. I teach the secrets that the professionals use.
- An emphasis on strength rather than conditioning. It's easy enough to make you tired (go do 1,000 sit-ups), but making you strong is harder and more rewarding.
- Creative use of exercise variations to reduce your equipment expenses. Progressions are used to create leverage advantages or disadvantages that make one kettlebell go a long way.
- Incidental conditioning that combines strength and endurance. The old mentality of “weights vs. cardio” wastes your time and keeps your performance sub-optimal.
- Incidental flexibility because flexibility is not about elongating your muscles, but taking the brakes off your strength.
- Simple and safe explosive lifting because most people will have a shockingly positive response to high-repetition explosive lifting. Yet the only alternative, Olympic Weightlifting, is very technical and takes dedicated practice and coaching to learn to perform effectively. And you will not get the benefit of extreme decelerations and redirections that translate into performance in so many sports.
How You Will Benefit From Professional Instruction
In recent years a tremendous amount of information on kettlebells has been posted online. How does a person with a job, family, and a life full of responsibility make sense of it all? While there is some great information out there, some of it is ineffective, and, worse, may do more harm than good. For example, the kettlebell was designed for use in high-tension exercises such as the standing military press, and explosive movements such as the Hardstyle swing. Using this tool for bicep curls or French presses is not effective.
Trying to swing the kettlebell “like you saw on T.V.” could even be dangerous, causing injury to your joints, especially the knees and back. Only personal instruction by a competent professional will ensure that you avoid injury and extract the maximum benefit from your kettlebell lifting.
The extreme kettlebell workout would have remained the exclusive domain of Russian spec ops, had former Spetsnaz instructor Pavel not immigrated to the U.S. The elite of the U.S. military and law enforcement instantly recognized the power of the Russian kettlebell, ruggedly simple and deadly effective as an AK-47. You can find Pavel's certified kettlebell instructors in outfits such as the Force Recon Marines, the FBI Hostage Rescue Team, and the Secret Service Counter Assault Team.
Once the Russian kettlebell became a hit among those whose life depends on their strength and conditioning, it took off among hard people from all walks of life: martial artists, athletes, and regular tough guys. There is no stopping the Russian kettlebell invasion. Men's Journal called it 'a workout with balls.' Rolling Stone pronounced Pavel 'The Hot Trainer of the Year' and his Russian kettlebell 'The Hot Weight of the Year.'
