My experience of the PCC was enriching, rewarding and inspiring. I was enriched in a way that brought out the best in me as an athlete in this particular athletic skill option. It was rewarding in that it far surpassed the highest of my expectations from a workshop based on calisthenics. It was inspiring in that it showed me not only where I was in my own athletic and knowledge of bodyweight training, but it has inspired me to show me what is possible and what I can achieve in my own quest for self-knowledge

 

The quality of training and knowledge provided by Al and his team of instructor was superior to any type of physical training I have ever received. There was great care and focus directed toward the prevention of injuries that could have easily occurred with less focused instructors.

You could also see that although Al was very humble and gracious in his presentation and appearance, you know darn well that he has an intensity of focus add determination and “will” that is on the same level as any highly accomplished Olympic athlete or professional “winning” athlete.

The main difference for me in comparing this certification with other forms of training was that the main foundation was based on encouragement and positive reinforcement and genuine support from the instructors as well as fellow students. Far too often many training schools of thought are based on a fear of failure and negative reinforcement and fear of being embarrassed if you failed. This was by far the ideal school of thought and the best way to learn from my stand point.

My intention in coming to the PCC was to step outside of myself and truly into the unknown. I have been a very accomplished athlete in my youth and have accomplished all of my dreams in the athletic realm. Coming to the PCC was my 58^th birthday present to myself. I wanted to go deep within myself and see ways to grow and continue to evolve as a human being by accepting and embracing the essence of this truly challenging workshop.

I had a clear understanding that many of the skills and exercises taught lay far beyond my present physical abilities, but the beauty of how the workshop unfolded, for my own inner flame of endless possibilities within myself… ways to continually grow and evolve not only physically, but mentally and spiritually as well.

This course has been a wonderful experience. From understanding your bodies limits, then taking it to the next level, the boundaries you can overcome are limitless.

Everyone played their role. No one over stepped or challenged the others’ knowledge. There was always an alternative or deeper clarity on a matter, which showed the outstanding support they have amongst themselves.

The quality is wonderful. The basic techniques being taught go a long way. The scope ranges to every individual despite their workout standards. The materials and practically is awesome, easy to grasp and beneficial.

Athletic Achievements I'm just an enthusiast :) I have in the past participated in running 5 marathons a number of half marathons. I currently participate in Crossfit and Gymnastics.

It was one of the best fitness experiences I’ve had. Danny & Al are fun, friendly, and open to questions, comment and suggests. They are really engaged with all the athletics in the course.

The instruction was amazing. Energy level was awesome, advice was on point. I unlocked so many skills and the ones I did not achieve I know what I have to do to achieve them. Al and Danny are down to earth, fun and I love the passion, energy, expertise that they provide.

Athletic Achievements CSCS, FMSC, over 15 years of experience

This experience has profoundly reorganized my perception about what can be achieved with calisthenics. No fitness professional’s literacy is complete without a firm grasp of the skills & concepts provided in this course.

Absolutely first rate. This truly is the premier calisthenics certification in the world. You can see their passion for P.C. and it is infectious.

By far the most fun I’ve had at any course. High quality, appropriate in scope and absolutely practical.

I love the energy and motivation of the instructors and students. The workshop was well organized and structure in a way where we are learning yet being able to function. I love the experience.

Al and Danny Kavadlo really know their material. Every instructor was helpful and willing to give tips and tricks to perform the exercise. Great team. It really shows ho knowledgeable they are yet still will to learn.

I was consistently challenged. Finding new ways to improve my technique. PCC is by far one of the best, if not the best training workshop I been to.

Athletic Achievements Undergraduate PE degree (1977), former US Marine. Worked in private industry for 30 years and retired in 2010. Currently coach Centreville High School wrestling team.

Very positive experience. Instructors well prepared. Al and Danny very patient and attentive to various levels of strength and mobility.

Al and Danny are obviously experts. Very well prepared and organizes. Agenda was adhered to time.

I’ve done general and 1 one on one session with personality trainers. This was the best I’ve attended. Others were more hype than substance. This had meat to it. The one on one I had was also good but this was at least on par with that.

The PCC experience was incredible. The teachers, Al and Danny were wonderful and very helpful at teaching advanced calisthenics in an easy to understand way.

Al and Danny Kavadlo were awesome. The other instructors were great too. Everyone was very helpful and generous with their knowledge.

Nicolas Ocampo, Key Biscayne, FL, Student

Athletic Achievements Student

That this weekend subjected me to a group of very focused, motivated individuals who opened my eyes to just how big this movement is and also rekindled my love for bodyweight fitness through seeing everyone else’s love for it.

I felt that Al and his team of instructors were extremely qualified to train/instruct us this weekend. That there are few people on this earth as qualified to teach a bodyweight certification as Al and his team of instructors.

I found that the quality, scope and practicality of the material taught this weekend was like anything else I’ve done before. This material is applicable to any sport and lifestyle (except the unhealthy/inactive ones), as there isn’t a single sport that doesn’t require bodyweight movement.
