The first Kettlebell instructor course in China, July 20-22, 2009

As you might know the Blogger service is blocked in China. I used to access Blogger by Hotspot Shield, but now even this proxy doesn't work properly, so I now use Ping.fm to post to my Kettlebell training blogspot.

From 20th to 22nd of July 2009, in Beijing China , I held the first Kettlebell trainer certification from China.

12 trainers registered and completed the 3 days course which was structured with theoretical lessons in the morning and kettlebell training in the afternoon.

The theoretical course content was The principles of athletic training, how to design training programs, how to lose fat and kettlebell facts.
The practical course included almost all kettlebell drills, and in the end Group Exercise with kettlebells.

At the end of 3 days the trainers passed a written examination about how to safely and effectively teach kettlebell drills, passed a practical test for Swing, Windmill, Snatch and Clean&Jerk .

The Kettlebell challenge was kettlebell snatch:
Two of the trainers managed to complete 100 snatches with 20 kg kettlebells, and the rest of them with 16 kg. The tree girls which attended the certification completed the challenge with an 8 kg kettlebell.
I will post pics when I can access the Blogger.
