Become an Elite Trainer
in The World's # One System
for Strength and Conditioning

Both the Soviet Special Forces and numerous world-champion Soviet Olympic athletes used the ancient Russian kettlebells as their secret weapon for xtreme fitness. Thanks to the kettlebell's astonishing ability to turbocharge physical performance, these Soviet supermen creamed their opponents time-and-time-again, with inhuman displays of raw power and explosive strength.

Now, for the first time in the West, you can become a certified trainer of this extreme Russian strength and conditioning system!

"This training was by far the most superior physical training I have ever had."—Robert Bersi, Police Officer, Springdale, AR.

"This has been the best training I have ever received. The physical training I received was tougher then S.W.A.T. school or any other training seminar I have attended."—Michael Johnson, Police Officer; Ellicott City, MD

"Outstanding! Nothing that I have ever attended downloaded as much info as this seminar. I learned more in one weekend about body alignment & body control than with a 4—year degree in exercise science. Nothing previously that I have attended even comes close to the depth & breadth of this workshop."
—Brad D. Nelson, Personal Trainer; Woodbury, MN.

"This is the best course I have ever taken for physical conditioning."
—Omar Hakim, Graduate Student; Sioux Falls, SD

"Excellent instructions! Most of my fitness training has been law enforcement related, and most of it has sucked! This is the kind of stuff cops should be learning."—Jim Yankowsky, Police Officer: Tenafly, NJ

"Outstanding! The quality of both the training and instructors exceeded all of my expectations. This course far exceeded my study in preparation for the ACE CPT exam and is only challenged by some of my military training in terms of practical use. In terms of quality, this course is unmatched."
—Christopher R Greene, Systems Analyst; Summerville, SC.

"Better conditioning in one weekend than six months in Police Academy."
—Jeff Colon, Deputy Sheriff, Carmel Valley, CA.

"The quality of training was very good and in depth."
—Steve Pusker, Physician; Greenville, SC.

"Outstanding, this is by far the most challenging yet enjoyable experience of my life."—Dan Kayser, RKC Instructor; Roswell, GA.

"More valuable, practical, applicable physical exercise knowledge was provided this weekend than in my degree and two personal trainer certifications combined. It will be of great value to my current and future clients."—Garrett Smith, Naturopathic Medical Student/Personal Trainer; Tempe, AZ.

"It was the single best seminar I have ever attended in the fitness industry & I have attended many. Great instruction. There is no better way to learn than hands on." —Rob Smith, Personal Trainer; Prior Lake, MN.

"I am certified ISSA and their quality of instruction through this certifying body could not compare with the RKC."—John Wolf, Personal Trainer; Marina, CA.

"Incredible instructors and a brutal workout. I'm hardcore, and RKC pushed me way out of my comfort zone. The trainers will shock you with their talent. They are the best in the world."—Randy Part, Tennis Coach; Santa Monica, CA

"It was one of the best trainings I have ever attended. NO, I would say it is the very best EVER. There is no other training or organization that has the total performance/fitness package in—house. Cardio, strength, flexibility — the RKC training does it all. It truly has to be experienced to be believed."
—Brian Erickson, Trainer/Exercise Equipment Retail; Loveland, CO.

"The RKC has been the best most thorough course I've ever taken. Everything was extremely functional, and far surpasses all the other physical training I've had. Very well organized with a wealth of information. Was worth every penny, as this type of info is just not found anywhere else."
—Christopher M. Giroso, Student/Fitness Trainer; Newark, DE.

"A life changing physical experience, not only did my flexibility increase, but also my endurance and strength. The instructors are among the elite in the world. Second to none!"—Mitch Jackson, Customs Inspector/LMT; Humble, TX.

And more I importantly I actually experienced it for myself and learned how to teach it."—Kurt D. Kindred, Correction Officer/SRT Team Leader/ Personal Trainer; Hillsboro, OH.
