Every once in a while I have a perfect moment where I realize why I do what I do. I had one of those tonight. I think for all of us it’s very easy to get wrapped up in the day to day grind and the millions of little tasks we have to do that [...]

One more reason CrossFit and Kettlebells will rule the world…

Posted by on July 30, 2009 at 10:21 pm

I had a really interesting experience today. I vaguely know someone who’s in the mainstream fitness and bodybuilding industry and I contacted this person about possibly talking to a friend of mine who is considering fitness modeling as a career choice. Now, my friend is still in High School and is looking into careers for [...]

Becoming Outstanding, Part 1

Posted by on July 7, 2009 at 9:05 am

There’s a question I ask myself over and over again: “How do you become outstanding?” I ask myself that question about a lot of different topics. For the most part though, I ask myself that question with respect to physical training – martial arts, CrossFit and Kettlebells. I firmly believe that the right behaviors repeated [...]

Kettlebells with Change EVERYTHING

Kettlebells will change everything in fitness and strength training. So will CrossFit. Mixed Martial Arts will forever change the martial arts landscape AND the fitness world. What’s going on here? “Old” fitness is dead. So are traditional martial arts. We’re in Web 2.0 and World 2.0. Everything is changing and growing and evolving. What works [...]

The end of Hardstyle vs. Kettlebell Sport?

Posted by on June 21, 2009 at 9:10 am

Gaining a deeper understanding of the RKC Minimum Program… Something that eluded me when I first read Enter The Kettlebell by Pavel was the seemingly inordinate amount of time and space he devoted to getting ready to swing. He goes into a ton of detail on picking the bell up, squat and deadlift form, wall [...]

Saturday 6/20/2009 Modern Self-Defense Center in Middletown, Connecticut hosted Dr. Mark Cheng, RKC Team Leader for a Kettlebell and Functional Movement Patterning workshop.

Beaten with my own Kettlebells at CrossFit USA

Posted by on May 22, 2009 at 9:48 am

Merle must have been feeling particularly sadistic today. Or, maybe he was just trying to offset the three-day weekend with an extra hard workout. Either way, Merle was administering some beatings! I got in and walked over to the whiteboard to read the WOD. Before I could, I heard a voice from behind me say: [...]

The Weekend that started it all…

Posted by on October 13, 2008 at 9:33 am

What an outstanding weekend! I spent this past Saturday and Sunday training with some really fantastic people at the IKFF Level One Certified Kettlebell Teacher course. It was a truly fantastic experience. I’m sure not everyone would agree that spending 16 hours lifting heavy objects over two days is a good way to spend a [...]
