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.

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 Andrew Keller, HKC

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

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. I’d heard about kettlebells from people in the military and people interested in self defense. They were using kettlebells with great results.

An Interview with David Rodriguez, PCC

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