Got this email from John Du Cane recently and I thought the praise was especially interesting — so I wanted to share with you and make sure you saw it:

Italy May 2010 Russian Kettlebell Challenge Certification Workshop—Participant Praise
Paul McIlroy
This was the most comprehensive insight to kettlebell/strength training I’ve ever experienced and I’ve experienced a lot! It’s also the toughest thing I’ve ever done full stop!
Pavel is like a Jedi Master, I’ve read all his books and came in thinking I’d know most things… way wrong! Learned more than I ever thought possible.
Pavel’s depth of knowledge knows no bounds. The Senior Instructors where perfect examples of The RKC Hard Style, they taught it with great depth and understanding.
I have a degree in sports science, CSCS; I boxed for 10 years. I won the World Junior Power Lifting Championship. I’ve been working in the fitness industry for years, this beats everything hands down!!!!

Very tough, hard training, great attention to techniques.
I find all the instructors very well prepared and available for suggestions to the students. They teach very clearly and they look at the applications of their advises to exercises.
I had a background in martial arts and running and I think that kettlebells have a strong carryover to sports.

RKC is the best approach to kettlebell training, either for professional or for normal people who want to make a change in their life. RKC is not just another “tool in the box” it is a real life change that happens from the first minute you step into it.
Thanks for everything guys, keep doing the great job. Proud to be an RKC!

The RKC is a great course where I can find a good energy and feeling with all: instructors and students. Also it’s a great experience for few people. So I understand in three days maybe what I can’t learn in 1 year.
Pavel is very great man and teaching with great technique. Also instructors and team leaders are very well prepared.
