The kettlebell is a unique training tool with a millennia-old tradition. No other tool is as versatile, mobile, robust, and affordable – and yet so effective. When used correctly, it is one of the most powerful training instruments. However, the path to safely achieving training goals with the kettlebell is not intuitive. If misapplied, the kettlebell can be inefficient and even lead to injuries.
To ensure that trainers acquire the necessary knowledge about the kettlebell in a solid and measurable way, the American publisher and training think tank Dragon Door developed the RKC certification system around the turn of the millennium. This system has triggered the modern renaissance of kettlebell training worldwide. All well-known international experts in kettlebell training have a connection to the RKC. There may be national variations, but RKC and Dragon Door are the undisputed pioneers of modern kettlebell training.
Anyone can claim to be knowledgeable about kettlebell training and even teach others how to train with kettlebells. In the end, however, one often sees unused kettlebells in gyms, ignored by dissatisfied trainees because they were taught incorrectly. In kettlebell gyms that operate with the RKC system, the kettlebells are constantly in use, and the customers are very satisfied. This is the visible difference between claiming to be able to do something and knowing that you have learned it correctly and been tested in the oldest and most prestigious kettlebell school.
