Functional Kettlebell Training

Course overview

The 2-day, 16-hour Functional Kettlebell Training Certification (FKT) is reshaping what can be done with the kettlebell. Traditionally the kettlebell is taught in one of two ways: hardstyle or competition style. The problem here is, of course, that many people enjoy or need more than one single option of how to use and be successful with a tool. The FKT program teaches participants how to use the kettlebell in ways that take advantage of its unique shape in these patterns: - Swing - Clean - Snatch - Press - Step - Twist We introduce and teach the whole course based on this framework: 1. Be Able: learn the basics. Understand the fundamentals of KB training. 2. Be Athletic: add different stances, grips and add steps, & rotation (these are great ways to progress that don't depend on just adding more load. Additionally, participants will now gain practice with more rhythm, timing, coordination and athleticism.) 3. Be Adaptable: more complexity, exploration and flow. This level of progression really explores the limits of what is unique about KB training.
