To all who participated in the KB workshop- Participants, logistics/ "long-gistics" , hosts,tour guides----- I just want to say "Thank you " once again.
I was really impressed by the enthusiasm and turnout which equals committment in my book.
As you know, firefighters are a "tough sell" on many things and not too fond of change- to put it mildly. So, to see the number fo participants really floored me. I was equally impressed to see family members in attendance. I was humbled and truly excited to share the gift that was given to me by PAVEL TSATSOULINE.
I can speak for all the instructors when I say everyone exceeded our expectations. It was a very special group of instructors I was privledged to be with. My brother in AFD Charles brought you a special brand of pain. The tensioning is essential for truly effective and safe kb training. John Slattery is an excellent instructor who was mindful of form and the group as a whole and when to make changes in the program to keep everyone safe.
Tom Sher- I cannot say enough about the rare opportunity and appropriateness of the cool downs he took us through. They were perfect for recovery and oxygenation. Those sessions I believe were largely responsible for the high level of function everyone came to day 2 with.
Chief Gomola- I cant say enough about how much this man cares and wants to share with his fire family a way to perform our jobs better, live better, and go on into our retirements with health and longevity. What a quality group of people!!! They are closing the cafe I am writng from...
pulling the plug.. more to come- If I can help, please write me at zar@firebellz.com
