An Interview with David Martin, Marine Corps Martial Arts Instructor, HKC, DVRT

With DVRT, I think body movement is also a big factor. With all the rotational drills, there are so many exercise variations you can do with the Ultimate Sandbags.

An Interview with Andrew Keller, HKC

I moved to Milwaukee about 2 years ago and was looking for a way to get in shape. I used to live in the middle of nowhere, and we only had standard gyms which never seemed to work for me.

An Interview with David Rodriguez, PCC
