SIGN THE WALL if you're ADDICTED to KETTLEBELLS!

This is a follow up to Why get RKC Kettlebell Certification?

I got an email last week from Dave “Iron Tamer” Whitley pointing me to his “Why RKC?” blog post here. Now there’s been plenty of dispute over what the best kettlebell certification is. Or, more accurately, what the best value in kettlebell certification is.

Dave’s insights are probably the best I’ve heard.

Here’s the 3 points he made:

1. We are the original. With out Pavel, we would not be asking questions about kettlebells in the US. Pavel and John Du Cane not only created a market, but they have also created all the competition within that market. Every kettlebell instructor course in the US can be traced back to the RKC, whether the information was learned from Pavel or publicized by him, RKC is the source.
2. It’s not about the Kettlebell. With the involvement of Gray Cook and the Functional Movement Screen, as well as the relationship RKC has with Dr. Eric Cobb and the Z-Health system, we have continually evolved toward improving MOVEMENT first. The Kettlebell is the tool we use to teach principals of movement and strength.
3. We continuously evolve. The material we teach now is not the same as it was even a year ago, never mind several years ago. It is constantly improving. Constantly digging deeper.

These (in my opinion) are three solid reasons to prefer RKC over the other kettlebell certifications in the marketplace. On top of my previous post here.

Not only is RKC certification THE leader in market recognition, it’s also THE leader in thought and practice around the use of kettlebells in training.

That said, good luck to everyone going to this weekend’s San Diego RKC Instructor Certification.
