Incredible three days learning from the best. The community was amazing.

Dan John was everything I hoped for. When all is said and done, I will have invested about $5,000 in this weekend. And, again, I feel like I’m stealing.

The instruction I received from everyone was awesome. I can’t say enough great things about it. Professional, genuine, and knowledgeable. Hands down the best coaching I’ve gotten in my life.

This certification was top notch. I believe this is my 7th certification and it doesn’t even compare. The combination of knowledge and hard work was great. It gave us an opportunity to test if we really understood what we learned.

Can’t wait to start training for RKC Level 2!


Michelle Infante, Cold Springs, KY, Director and Coach

Skills based, safe training for people of all ages, fitness levels, and athletic pursuits. All the skills can be regressed or progressed appropriately for your client.

The team was great! I came for Dan John and Annie Vo and was pleased to meet so many talented and knowledgeable assistants during the weekend! Each person had a new perspective or cue they could add from their experience with their clients.

Very in-depth and more take away than any other. Manual is great, extra programming units are wonderful. You will get the perfect blend of hands-on work, lecture, active workshop, and ways to improve movement.


Christopher Moore, New York, NY, Personal Trainer

Dan John is awesome and a great teacher which led to an amazing experience that laid a concrete foundation of conceptual understanding and practical use of kettlebell movements and skill.

Absolute Gold standard (highest) instruction and ease of information delivery by the head instructor. Kept everyone engaged from start to finish. All assistants were extremely knowledgeable and friendly making it a pleasant experience. I received way more quality information outside the basic kettlebell movement than I bargained for.

I’ve had another kettlebell certification which was all over the place. I like how streamlined the information and workouts are delivered.

Extremely educational! It puts any doubts you had about using KBs at ease. Instructors were phenomenal. I had a blast learning as well as meeting tons of colleagues from the industry. There was a fine balance between lectures and practicals.


Aghilas Hocine

Very well instructed indeed by Dan John. The whole team was very professional. I have never learned so much about training as I did in these three days. Very good experience. Very good ambiance. Very educational.


Carlos Guillen, Bayshore, NY, Fitness Professional

It definitely exposed my weakness. Incorporating KB in your overall training is a must. The RKC sticks to the basics of functional training. It enhances hypertrophy and it is a must in a training program. It kicked my butt as well.


Scott Roberts, Galloway, OH, Manager

Detailed and practical. Intense yet beneficial.

Dan John is why I came here, and I was not disappointed. Amazing breadth and depth of knowledge. The real deal!

Didn’t know what to expect from the team. I was impressed. They walk the walk.

It was an amazing experience in that it was physically, socially, mentally, and philosophically enriching each day. I learned a great deal about my own willpower in the process of preparing for the tests.

The instructors and team at RKC are truly world class. It’s obvious they have accumulated lifetimes’ worth of knowledge but are also capable of sharing that knowledge with general pop/novice trainers.

It’s obvious that there is a devoted, talented team at the RKC/Dragon Door.

Matt Maher: has tons of knowledge and helpful tips and cures. He helped address several weaknesses in my kinetic linking I was unaware of, and gave me tremendous confidence in my snatch test.

Noriko: Her passion, energy, and enthusiasm is obvious and contagious. She’s an amazing teacher – who clearly practices what she preaches. Her cues and tips helped me with my body awareness more than any coach I’ve had previously.

Becky Codl: is an amazing mover and teacher who practices what she preaches. She helped me tremendously with my body control this weekend.

Tyler Woodman: brought great energy, obvious passion, and enthusiasm each day with each student. He is a tremendous teacher and asset to the RKC community.


Yul Ruiz, New York, NY

Best weekend experience, especially since Noriko was teaching. And of course the Master Tyler, Sensei Marlon, and all the other amazing leaders. And most importantly meeting the Great Dan John himself. Incredible!!!!

The quality was second to none. Incredibly comprehensive and fun. Will take RKC 2 when it comes around.

RKC is a beast. A fantastic coaching team with an immense amount of knowledge and passion. The experience was unforgettable and inspiring.

Immense! Many different styles and approaches, but all the same mission. I was impressed and in tune all weekend.

RKC was qualitative without the overkill. Timing was appropriate and order of exercises made sense. RKC was fun and challenging, but very educational, too.

I learned more than just how to properly use the KB. I learned a lot from the lectures and stories. I gained knowledge for ‘my toolbox’ and look forward to finding ways to implement it—using kettlebells but also modifying exercises and programming.

Dan John—words can’t be used to explain how informative, funny, and honest he is. I learned a lot without even realizing it. I will continue to learn as I process everything over the next few weeks.


Natasha Natraj, New York, NY, Personal Trainer

The amount of information is mind-blowingly useful for all populations. While kettlebells may have been used to strengthen athletes, I can train my clients to be athletes in their activities of daily living.

Like obviously Dan John is a total boss. I appreciated everything he presented in and outside of the manual as it all seemed beneficial to our training/lives.

Tyler, Noriko, Annie and Matt were awesome. I really appreciated the discussions we were able to have about training and application with clients and how specific they were about what I needed to do better.

This is one of the most challenging and rewarding certifications I have ever taken/may ever take. I feel accomplished because I was physically held to a standard.


Robert Myers IV, Valley Stream, NY

Life changing. I learned so much about myself, others, fitness in general, and life. I now have a lot of good things to think about.

Incredible. All the assistants, Dan, and the team leaders helped me build that pirate map on how to become the fitness professional I want to be.

The main difference was the testing. This is the first time I had to pass a physical test to gain a cert, and as a result, I not only have to comprehend the material on a mental level (the easy part), but I have to also teach my body the concepts (not so easy).

Thanks for the experience. You guys have me feeling like a new man !!

GO! Very informative, very helpful, very fun, very challenging certification but you’ll love it. Fine tune problems you may have. The best way to learn if you are serious about learning kettlebells. THANK YOU for EVERYTHING. I loved every second of the class.


Francisco Santos, New York, NY, Fitness Manager

Prepare before entry, however, the learning curve is not great. You can be a seasoned or newbie with KB-RKC and still gain a lot.

Dan John is a master at making complex principles digestible and enjoyable so that we can translate the concepts to training clients.

Assistants/seniors very good at helping make movements click and improve quickly.


Adaeze Merenini, Valley Stream, NY

It was extremely informative. You are given a ton of information to not only understand the movements, but the coaches relate to trouble areas and help you improve. By the end of the 3 days you have improved your technique.

They bring various skill sets from different backgrounds, but they are all extremely knowledgeable. They all explain in great detail what can improve our techniques.
