RKC cert


It is quite unbelievable for me that I could assist now for the second time (and Ervin for the third) at the RKC cert powered by Chief Instructor Pavel Tsatsouline, "the Evil Russian"; Master RKC Kenneth Jay, "the Dane of Pain" (Beast Tamer), Senior RKC Geoff Neupert "the Captain" (Beast Tamer) and RKC Team Leader Cortez Hull.

We were delegated to the team of Geoff and at the technical exam I could assist Pavel.
It is hard to define what these three days meant to me but I try to summarize my most important thoughts:

- Pavel is simply ingenious. There is no use to go into further details.

- Kenneth, Geoff, Cortez: it was a honor to watch them and to work with them. I can speak of them only with the highest respect, both professionally and humanly.

- In my opinion, the quiet kindness and cheering words of John Du Cane helped more than just a little to the RKC candidates. He is a phenomenon whose absence is promptly felt as soon as he is not there – besides, we owe him the launch of the kettlebell invasion with Pavel.

- The achievement of Peter both in the organization and the preparation of the Hungarian RKC candidates owes all respect – just like the work of Elena, Moni, Robi and the other supporters; thank you very much!

- The tireless high level interpretation of Gabi – and besides she contributed as RKC, as well! – was an indispensable help for many Hungarian participants to accomplish the cert.

- It was good to meet and work together with the other RKCs again – fortunately the list of the names would be quite long, and you could see that all of them train hard with kettlebells since the RKC, are more experienced in teaching, have prepared for the cert, take the task seriously and do all to support the RKC candidates to preferably earn their RKC but by all means to become better men and women. I am glad to belong to You!

- Congratulations to all participants who accomplished the cert, especially to those who have earned their RKC! Ladies, Gentlemen, be proud of yourselves, it was a great accomplishment you will always remember! Who still has to work on a drill, has been furnished with very good stuff to do that and great support, but if needed you can definitely contact any RKC for help!


Power to you and keep swinging!!!!
