Online Kettlebell Courses

The IKU™ and Cavemantraining™ courses are presented in a unique course format. We break down disciplines and types of education to allow very specific choices and progressions. Suitable for the stay-at-home fitness enthusiast, the personal trainer, group fitness instructor, and the coach that trains elite athletes. Its unique format allows students to choose their own path of learning, and how far that education is taken.

It’s as simple as choosing your discipline, i.e. Clean, Curl, Swing, Press, Snatch, etc., and then your level of education. If you just want to read the material and later decide what to do with it you would select Student.

If you want to be able to obtain a certificate of participation for the chosen discipline then you would continue with becoming a Graduate.

The levels that follow are certifications and when passed, officially certify the participant as Trainer, Teacher, Athlete, Coach, Expert, and so on.

The number after the dot is the complexity of a subject, for example, in Master The Kettlebell Clean L3.1, the subject matter is the Kettlebell Clean, the level is 3 which is Trainer, and the complexity is 1, which is one step up from 0, and after 1 would come 2 and so on. A subject matter might not be complex enough to require splitting, which could mean there is only 3.0 or 3.
