This is the second blogpost about a former client (Jun-Ho, a Korean college student) who I was helping prepare for eventually taking the RKC. He has since left to return to South Korea to serve a mandatory 2 years in the military. In the first blogpost I went over the process I used with him to determine a safe and effective program for improving his skill and strength in the primary kettlebell lifts and even some RKC II moves (Jerks primarily).
On his last day with me I filmed him performing a mock test as would be done during the RKC level I certification. The video of his performance of the 6 key RKC movements can be seen below:
At the end of the session I then proceeded to give him a mock 5 minute snatch test although it was with a 20 KG bell instead of the 24KG that he would need to use for the certification. This was still a PR for him and he has 2 years to prepare with the heavier bell. He is well on his way to becomming an RKC instructor. Good Luck Jun Ho!
Thanks for reading my blog!
