An Interview with Daniel Cirilli, PCC Instructor

By Adrienne Harvey, SrPCC, RKC-II, CK-FMS

About 10 months ago, I just saw some videos on YouTube from Al and Danny Kavadlo, and Frank Medrano. I decided to start with Street Workout after meeting Kerigo and some of the other guys at a fitness festival in Gothenburg. From there I started working on my team and now I am a member of WSWCF (World Street Workout and Calisthenics Federation) and a PCC Instructor.

By Steve “Coach Fury” Holiner, Senior RKC, DVRT Master Chief Instructor

I’ve been fortunate enough to teach/co-teach five Hardstyle Kettlebell Certifications (HKC) in the last 8 months. My buddy Josh Henkin, Master RKC and DVRT Creator, and I had the great privilege of teaching two of those HKC workshops to the United States Marines.

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

By Adrienne Harvey, SrPCC, RKC-II, CK-FMS

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. I think sandbags are great for the Marines, because no matter where they are, they can take the empty Ultimate Sandbags along and fill them up at their destination—then they can use them for full body fitness.

An Interview with Dustin Jones, Physical Therapist, RKC, CSCS

By Adrienne Harvey, SrPCC, RKC-II, CK-FMS

An Interview with Marty G., Federal Law Enforcement Special Agent, PCC Instructor

By Adrienne Harvey, SrPCC, RKC-II, CK-FMS

In the unit I was attached to four years before my current detail, we were wearing up to 45 pounds of kit and equipment for hours in seated, standing, and non-traditional positions—and our movements were not always linear. Unlike other tactical units which might wear their gear for a couple of hours during operations, we might need to...

You Bring About What You Think About

by Dr. Christopher R. Holder DP, DMQ (China), Senior RKC

In 2008 I was presented with my first high level triathlete, Jeremy Devich. Jeremy is a machine. I have seen a lot of athletes with a “tank”, but not many have ever been as impressive as this guy. He’s a 6’3”, 190lb slab of muscle. When Jeremy and I trained together, he routinely warmed up with 3 sets of 10 get-ups (each side) with a 24kg kettlebell.

Is Your Training Really Functional?

By Josh Henkin, Master RKC, Creator of the DVRT System
