Russian Kettlebell Challenge™
Level II Core Skills Testing Procedures
(SUBJECT TO CHANGE)
You will be tested on your understanding of the presented material and your technique in the five Level II Core Skill drills:
- Pull-ups
- Pistols
- Windmills
- Bent Presses
- Clean and Jerks
In the pistol you must be able to descend at least to parallel and come up exercising control. You may hold a counterweight. Successful performance of the pistol with one leg is sufficient.
In the bodyweight pull-up you will be required to start from a dead hang, pull up without kipping, and finish by touching the bar with your neck or chest using the thumbless overhand grip.
Successful performance of the bent press with one arm is sufficient.
If you fail any testing phase during the Level II Certification, you will be given three months to retest with a Senior RKC or an RKC Team Leader. Your RKC II Instructor certificate will not be issued until you have passed the tests.
