First steps...

On Tuesday I had the honor to hold the first KB training for a first-class athlete, one of the key players of the Hungarian national waterpolo champion team TEVA-Vasas Plaket, Marton Toth(Marci).

For those who do not know him here are some video linksMarci in action:
Impressive, isn't it? But we are working hard to get it even better!

Marci got acquainted with the centre of kettlebell universe, the SWING! He was eager to learn and having an excellent movement culture, succeeded to catch the proper swing technique very soon. Of course we went hard-style and did some variations, as well.

If you ask, „Why just swing?" I highly recommend you to read the post of Dr. Mark Cheng, RKC Team Leader or simply to try a hard-style swing workout!

Back to Marci: he is flying to Malta around June 11-12 for 6 weeks to strengthen the Team of Sliema Asc in the Maltese Championship, but it is very likely that he will bring a 16 kg KB with him and make his workouts out there, too. Thus we have two weeks to learn the basic drills and give a strong start on the way that will hopefully bring him in the form of his life – and improve it further when he gets back! :-)
It is a pleasure to train Marci and I am quite sure that the results will surprise even himself - but not me! I know both his strong will and talent and the effectiveness of the kettlebell. I dare say they will match each other!

Training is to be continued today… :-)
