Instructor Profile

Zar Horton
RKC Team Leader     Zar Horton is a long time veteran of the Albuquerque Fire Department with 19 years of service. He is currently a Battalion Commander of Special Operations.  Zar met Pavel in 2000 and took several classes from him. After 3 years of integrating Pavel's strength and flexibility principles into his own and his clients programs, he was inspired by his colleague Tige Watson to begin training with the Russian Kettlebell. After phasing it in to his established training it soon became his stand alone program. With the growing popularity and inquisitiveness of his fellow firefighters, Zar and Tige decided to become certified instructors to insure safe and correct KB training to their fellow firefighters. So, in 2004 Zar and Tige became certified by Pavel.  Since then Zar has trained many firefighters, police officers and civilians. He has served for Pavel at the Instructor certification course as an assistant instructor in 2005 and later that year he was named a RKC Team Leader. Since then he has continued to assist at RKC courses. In 2008, Zar certified as a RKC II and served as a Lead Instructor at a RKC Instructor course.  – this excerpt was taken from Zar's web site - http://www.firebellz.com
