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.

RKC Fire Pro Kettlebell Seminar II

Stuff

Hi All -

We are into our third week of byob kettlebell training - attendance has been light but the training tempo has been very heavy. We covered cleans, high pulls and snatches. We introduced combos and the VO2 max protocol. We will continue training on Thursdays and all are welcome to join in - Tomorrow's training session will be held at 4 pm at Station 2 in the small park behind the station. Short and intense - we will be done by 5 pm in time for shift change.

Spoke with Zar last night - he is heading off to St. Paul for an RKC certification week end. He will be serving as a team leader. We are planning a second seminar at the end of June or early July - 2 day basic and a 1 day advanced. Check the blog for updates. On a side note - some of our brothers in Stamford sent an invite about a tower climb to benefit the American Lung Association. It will be held early November - 5 member teams - think about it - we are looking at a third seminar around the same time and will be laying down the challenge to the Albuquerque FD - let's see if Charles and Zar can handle the stairs. More info to follow.

Be well, stay safe,

George Gomola RKC
