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.

Thought for the day - Become the change

A man has made at least a start on discovering the meaning of human life when he plants shade trees under which he knows full well he will never sit. —D. Elton Trueblood

Alpha male/female

How is everyone? I hope that everyone is well for all of my brothers out there in Connecticut! It has been a long time since I posted anything.I just wanted to give you all a few things to consider. The nature of our profession draws in Alpha males and Alpha females, on the fireground we attack our objective with a clearly defined goal in mind and it should be the same way in our strength training. Our strength training is not limited to pressing a ton of weight and forcing entry and doing our job. We must consider what our weaknesses are and attack those with the same intensity as we would put toward training for the RKC snatch test. You have to look within and admit what needs work, is it postural alignment, joint mobility, flexibility, stability, nutrition, mental focus and the list goes on and on. You must have awareness of the imbalance before you can focus on correcting it so you can continue to make progress. Nothing is stagnant, If you are not doing anything to better yourself you are going backwards.
