What is a Kettlebell?
A 'kettlebell' or girya (Russ) is a traditional Russian cast iron weight that looks like a cannonball with a handle. The ultimate tool for extreme all-around fitness. It first appeared in a Russian dictionary in 1704 (Cherkikh, 1994).
What is RKC?
RKC is a "hard style" of kettlebell training born in the spec ops of the Soviet Union. In the 1970's select units adopted a karate-based style of hand-to-hand combat. The hard style of kettlebell training evolved in the 1980s to support the hard style of fighting. As in martial arts, the kettlebell hard style chooses "power production over power conservation."
What do I get from RKC Kettlebell training?
We use six simple moves blended together to create extreme all-around fitness. Referred to as a "school of strength"; it is not like the strength seen in today's muscle magazenes. It is a leaner more athletic looking prowess that is forged by the methodical repetion of these simple yet challenging movements. Done correctly, these movements promise to offer a depth of quality intended to enhance function which in turn is followed by form.
