At
the NCKBA, it is our sole mission to help you become a better trainer
by teaching you how to teach kettlebell lifting. Being an effective
kettlebell trainer involves many factors:
- Your own skill in performing
both basic and advanced kettlebell exercises
- Your ability to communicate
the key elements of good technique
- Your knowledge of the
typical problems clients encounter with their technique, and how
to fix them
At the
NCKBA certification, we can give you all the skills and knowledge
you need to ensure that your clients progress toward their goals,
and keep coming back to you for more.
Our second
certification of 2009 will be held on October 17th, running from 10
a.m. to 7 p.m in Novato, CA.
Our emphasis
is always on improving your teaching ability and your in-depth knowledge
of the physiological principles that provide maximum strength and
maximum safety.
The NCKBA
Certification Program features:
- 9 hours
of comprehensive instruction in one weekend
- Individualized
instruction from Gregg and Kerry. We take only small groups so you
learn directly from the experts through extensive face-time.
- Thorough
coverage of all the screening and teaching techniques used and developed
by Gregg and Kerry in 20+ years as strength athletes and 7+ years
as kettlebell instructors
- Training
in all the basic and intermediate kettlebell exercises including
common technique flaws and methods for correcting those flaws. Some
advanced material/exercises will be covered, as time permits.

Pavel
offers 2-3 certification workshops in Minneapolis/St. Paul every year,
and he has recently added certification workshops in California and
in Europe. Kerry and I both got our start with Pavel, and Gregg has
been through the certification both as a student and as an assistant
instructor. Pavel's certifications are extremely physical, so if you're
interested, be advised!
