Kettlebells are the physical training tool of choice for Navy Seals, Delta Special Forces, US Secret Service, the NFL, and the NCAA. Learn the hottest functional training method in the fitness industry today from brother firefighters who are also RKC certified instructors. Hard style is not for everybody, but it is perfect for firefighters. Our goal is to share what we have learned and help you become stronger.

The life we save may be our own. Instructors are donating their time; all proceeds will be donated to charities that benefit firefighters or help kids stay fit.

Our first seminar held on February 7 and 8 in Bridgeport CT was a tremendous success. Check back for information about future training opportunities and competitions.

Cool Down - Stability Training

TGU - 1 x each side - with 16 kg bell*
TGU - 2 x each side with no weight
Repeat 3 times

* if you experience any instability stop the movement at that interval and grease the groove - example - if you have trouble at the first part of the movement - just do that part with the 16 kg, repeat 2 or 3 times - then work other side, same movement, then complete the full TGU with no weight. Our goal is perfect practice.
