“If I had had these training methods when I was on the Olympic team, I would’ve captured the gold medal! Bravo! Superior to any seminar I’ve done. Excellent, diverse and thorough. Taught me the foundation of fundamental principles of mobility, which resulted in increases in strength and flexibility.”
Teimoc Johnston-Ono, Trainer/Coach, 6x World Masters Jujitsu Champion, US Olympic Judo team 1976, US Olympic Training Center, Coach

“I have taken many clinics by experts in the strength and conditioning field. Without a doubt the “UNLOCK!” course is the finest I have attended, I would recommend it to anyone.

A total mind-body experience. Great attention to detail in both exercise demonstration and the explanation of why to do things in a certain, correct way. Absolutely outstanding instruction. The instructors are not only excellent practitioners, but superlative teachers as well. These guys combine in-the-trenches real world ‘tough guy’ experience, exercise science backgrounds, with a great ability to simplify and teach to the point.”
Cole Summers, Strength Coach, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
Team Canada Strength Coach: Women’s National Volleyball Team, National Boxing Team members; Pro boxers; Olympic Hockey Team members; NHL and WHA Pro Team Champions.

“The UNLOCK! course was excellent, very much worth the investment. The principles and techniques I learned will be useful in my own training, my clients training, and with my massage clients. All three instructors are outstanding teachers and have an encyclopedic knowledge of this kind of material. An outstanding weekend for anyone who wants to know more about the body in motion.”
David Whitley, RKC, Massage Therapist, Hermitage, TN

“As a doctor I would have to state emphatically that this was the best medical seminar I ever attended! Great science to backup the technique. I hate the word stretching – so often it means people lengthening tendons and ligaments leading to hyper-mobility, instability and high risky injury – mobility and flexibility are what people really need and desire and the 3 approaches helped us understand it very well.”
Theresa Nesbitt, Physician

“Outstanding! I thoroughly enjoyed the course and would take it again!

Every single instructor has their own style. The personalities mix well. They all have a gift for teaching. Steve, Pavel, and John are very inspiring. Pavel’s incredible knowledge and ability to share it is amazing. Steve’s enthusiasm, knowledge and dedication to health and fitness is inspiring. John’s tranquil and relaxing qigong was eye opening. He is a very graceful practitioner. Even more proof that Dragon Door and all its instructors are dedicated to improving people’s health which in turn will improve the quality of life.”
Lisa Shaffer, RKC, Roanoke, Texas

“I returned to UNLOCK! Because I learned so much the first time that I KNEW it would be worth it a second time. And, I wasn’t the only person to return! I wasn’t disappointed. I made a long list of the cool new stuff I learned.

The neck mobility drills I learned from Steve Maxwell cured the neck pain I suffered for more than 30 years. I practice these drills daily and my neck works better than ANYTIME in my life. Thanks a million Steve! This was worth twice the price of admission.

Pavel is a master at communication! He takes complex anatomical and physiological issues and explains them with startling clarity. If you want to be more mobile, flexible, and functional…start with Pavel’s basic, simple and straight forward principles.

Steve Maxwell is a genius! His obsession with strength, mobility and fitness in general pays big dividends for everyone lucky enough to spend time with him.

John DuCane’s knowledge of and dedication to qigong provides an insight into a treasure chest of strength and mobility drills.”
Jay Armstrong, RKC

“With forty plus years in physical culture, (athletics, bodywork, martial arts) as a participant and as a coach, and teacher, this is the most comprehensive, and organized workshop I have attended. There is a great integration and balance between the presenters and their material and skills.

The information presented and skills taught were comprehensive enough that as a Certified Advanced Rolfer, I have the tools and understanding to not only improve my own functional mobility but I will be able to teach my clients the skills so they may continue to increase their mobility and structural balance.

These instructors are the best in the business. Not only do they possess a wealth of knowledge but they are wiling to share that knowledge and truly educate the workshop participants. They are willing to explain the why, often before it is asked.”
Michael Reams, Certified Advanced Rolfer, Seattle, WA

“Much more practical than anything I’ve ever had, law enforcement related or martial arts related. I can truly say that I will be able to unlock my body’s potential much easier now than before I came to UNLOCK!

Three of the most knowledgeable, approachable, instructors ever.

Everything each of the three instructors teaches is useful, and each is able to demonstrate, backup and explain the mechanics of the exercise. I’d recommend them to anyone!”
Timothy Hale, Police Officer St Paul, MN

“I really thought the promotional materials I read about the course exaggerated what the course could do for me. At the first break, I called my wife (1500 miles away) and said, ‘These guys are really on to something!’

I don’t think I could have been in better hands for the subject matter that was presented.”
Matthew Furcron, Technical Writer, Vancouver, WA

“I did things I thought I couldn’t do anymore. You guys were excellent communicators. The entire weekend exceeded my expectations. Much better than other courses.”
John Canady, Plastic Surgeon, Iowa

“This course was fantastic! This is my 5th course with Pavel and he still has information in the vault. John and Steve also opened up more avenues of awareness to the different types of mobility protocol available. I recommend this course to everyone. All 3 of you are outstanding! All of you feed off each other well and are able to integrate each other’s “flavors” into your own presentation making it easier to learn thru the weekend.

This sets the standard in mobility/flexibility. Practical, precise and can be implemented immediately. Definitely seeing my own results over 3 days reinforces everything. Thank you for everything all of you do!”
Brad Nelson, RKC, Strength & Conditioning Coach, Woodbury, MN

“It was a tremendous education. As a chiropractor, I have an interest in every possible detail. I learned a ton of valuable information because of the quality of the instruction. I loved the seminar. This is something I will definitely be using not only for myself but for my patients. When can I do this again!”
Gregory Theokas, Chiropractor

“UNLOCK! Is a complete assault on all of your senses and is highly recommended for anybody. The quality of knowledge is unrivaled anywhere. I started with kettlebells three years ago and they have completely changed the direction of my training. I have learned countless new techniques from Steve Maxwell and Pavel over the last 2 years from so many different smaller workshops. UNLOCK! was the icing on the cake. UNLOCK! Like all of the RKC training I have received over the last three years it is in a league of its own. There are no other resources out there that compare.”
Steve Pucciarelli, Personal Trainer

“It will broaden your understanding of what flexibility means in ways you never thought of before taking the class. If you’re not more mobile afterward than you were before you took UNLOCK! You’re either a contortionist or you’re dead.

All the instructors were first rate and the instructors made every effort to make sure everyone had all their questions answered. There was a wealth of knowledge among the three that would be hard to get anywhere else beside here. I thought the Feb 2002 RKC Certification I attended was the best training I’d ever had. This was even better. I’m impressed with Pavel’s ability to keep adding new material and new insights to things I’ve seen before, every time I hear these concepts presented, I learn more.”
Steven Justus, RKC, Sr Software Engineer, Westminster, CO

“My knowledge of what is means to be mobile has increased ten-fold. I started this week limping and hobbling around from a chronic back injury and I can now run and do most movements with little to no pain.

This is the first course I’ve taken and I found it very effective. It’s the Holy Grail of health! I’m reluctant to buy into one philosophy completely but if I had to choose what I’ve seen in just 3 days is more valuable then anything I’ve seen in 3 years.”
Sam Twito, Student, Northfield, MN

“This is one of the best workshops I have ever attended - in the sheer amount of excellent information, practice, opportunity for questions and discussion. Plus, it as fun! Outstanding – to use Steve Maxwell’s terminology, all three of these men are clearly virtuosos, likely even Masters.”
Gretchen Faas, Health Care Consultant, Minneapolis, MN

“I came because I just turned 50 and I want to start gaining mobility and flexibility instead of losing it as I’ve done over the last 25 years. I learned to do things here with my body that will let me make that wish real.

The training was uniformly superb. Patient, careful, thorough, real, all questions answered.”
Peter Silverman, Lawyer

“It opened my eyes to the very real possibility of improving my functional strength, mobility and athletic abilities to a level potentially higher than it has ever been despite the inevitability of aging.

The training I have taken from Dragon Door Publications has far exceeded anything I could ever experience by taking professional courses directly related to my line of work. I always feel like I have learned something that will literally change my life and health for the better. The best part is I get to go back to work and show what I’ve learned with my clients and improve their lives as well.”
Keith Weber, RKC Physical Therapist, Red Deer, Alberta, Canada

“I have gained confidence in learning principles of mobility, flexibility, stretching and movement that will greatly enhance all my training. Pavel, Steve and John are the best instructors I have ever had! Unparalleled levels of knowledge from men who demonstrate drills and explain principles with amazing insight and wisdom. I am an RKC instructor. The workshop is essential and the training is amazing. I think and feel that the training at UNLOCK! is a prerequisite to our form of training.
Mandla Nkosi, RKC, Physical Trainer, Martial Arts Instructor, Jamaica Plains, MA

“Very clearly explained concepts, and practices which are rooted in biomechanically correct methods of increasing anyone’s mobility. This includes high-level athletes to beginners. The quality, scope, and practical application of the concepts and practice offered in the UNLOCK! course are of the highest level. Solid fundamentals offered in a practical manner.
Adam Pollock, Head Instructor and Owner of Kokopelli’s Gym, Winter Springs, FL

“UNLOCK! brought me an avenue to become connected in the physical movements. Not just performing but understanding on what to focus and how to improve your performance. It provided me the additional tools to get better! This workshop can’t be beat! The knowledge and abilities of these gentlemen are priceless. Their ability to translate their knowledge and experience allowed us to have a magnificent learning environment. Their passion to want to share their knowledge is above reproach. I can clearly see why people become so connected and want to return to this workshop again. This was the best comprehensive training I’ve received in my career. To be able to combine all the elements of UNLOCK! to my current knowledge will raise my performance. I also look forward to sharing this wealth of information to my clients.”
Glenn Cruz, Personal Trainer, Niceville, FL

“In one hour with Pavel, I got progress in my flexibility that would have taken a couple of years in yoga.”
Crystal Chissell, Attorney, Highland Beach, MD

“What I learned in this course will be a lifelong skill set. Now I can repair my 50 years of pain with renewed vigor and pain free exercises. Anyone who wants to feel much younger must take this course. My only question is when is the next one!”
Laird Johnson, Airline Pilot, Summit, NJ

“Amazing. I’m a layperson in this field, but everything was taught at a level that worked for everyone. The exercises were unbelievably helpful at reinforcing the concepts – I really couldn’t believe it. And it’s all ideas, concepts, and moves that can easily be incorporated into everything I do. The best part – no equipment necessary. I came here so I can be someone who can jump out of airplanes at the age of 80 if I want. I now know how.

I tried to explain to my friends why I was flying cross country to take this class, and honestly believed there was no one else that could teach me this. You have confirmed those beliefs, and for that I thank you. True masters.”
Jennifer Waak, RKC Management Consultant, Seattle, WA

“As a teacher of yoga for over 25 years I’m extremely leery of educational groups jumping on the popularity of stretching and strengthening. It is my opinion that if Dragon Door had been around 25 years ago there would have been significantly less shoulder and hip injuries not just in the yoga and martial arts community, but in the entire realm of athletic achievement. Power to Pavel, Steve and John, more education, less dogma.”
George Edward Spears, RKC, Teacher of Yoga

“Epiphanous. Exceeded high expectations. Sane, rugged... Verkhoshansky and Siff inspire but leave me wondering ‘so what do I do with it?’ Pavel’s is the most useable info I’ve ever received. Excellent training, pithy explanations, deep detailed knowledge of human function.”
Hal Lupinek, Investor, Madison, WI

“These techniques should be part of the mandatory curriculum in our public and private schools, from the elementary years onward.”
Jonathan Davis, Writer, New York, NY

“Altogether this was time, money and travel VERY profitably spent. Excellent overall synthesis of seemingly divergent methods to the single end of greater confidence, health and freedom of movement and power.

I was pleased and motivated by their charisma & concern for the students learning styles and need for clarification. Methods, knowledge and exposition were excellent. I knew Pavel was a king, but it was a MAJOR growth and motivation jackpot. John DuCane gave me some TRULY applicable and profitable stuff I hadn’t expected to get.”
KD Jones, Musician, Writer, Bothell, WA
