The focus on safety and avoiding injury. That was a lack and a problem for me when doing Strong First Cert. The most valuable info was the technique, types of grips, the emphasis on how to avoid injury. The acceptance and promotion of other ways to do kettlebell work.

I liked that I really, really had to rub it in. Where I made mistakes, I had to correct it several times. That’s why I appreciate it so much more. The most valuable thing was correct technique of individual exercises.

The course was truly great how it progressed over time. I really like the combination of having the PDF to deep dive on some aspects and then the video as an overview of the topic.
The physical assessments were really good as well. I got great feedback and learned a lot of the feedback and my awareness of bad form a technique improved over time.
The feedback and information I received from Coach Taco was very valuable. The responses were not just “pass or fail”. It really felt as if the coach assessed the videos in detail and pointed out where my form was lacking. It was also valuable to be challenged during the assessments when the coach pushed me to do the self-assessments.

Here’s what Joseph said about the online kettlebell course:

If you had to pick one bad thing about the course?
To be completely honest, I cannot think of anything that stood out as bad. Some major learning curves, but taking an open mind to the training, this had to be one of the best trainings I’ve completed.

If you had to pick one good thing?
The level of detail provided in the review of the exercises and requirement for resubmitting. I truly appreciate the time taken to analyze and dissect the video to ensure my learning.

What would you change about the course?
It would have been fun to also include the basics of the snatch, but for the cost values vs education received I don’t think I could find anything that could beat this class.

What was the most valuable info from the course?
The racking grip for sure. But I’ve always had tight shoulders, thinking the Arnold-style press was the most optimal, but after the simple explanation of how you would mimic reaching for something going directly up was like ohhh… that makes sense.
I also like the importance of heavier weight required for some exercises.

What was annoying about the course?
I’m a very detail-oriented person and can drive clients crazy, but this was something else on another level in all aspects of my fitness education.

“I was unsure how this course would go as I have not done anything like this before. I honestly thought it would be easier and I would get it done quicker. I am very glad that it wasn’t that way. The feedback you gave, although sometimes frustrating that I hadn’t done better, ultimately led to me actually drastically improving my technique. I really appreciate the level of time and communication as it made this course worth the effort and money. I would definitely recommend it.”

I enjoyed this certification. It offers so much to my daily kettlebell workouts and so much to my well being and health. One of the best kettlebell certifications you can get if you ask me.
The course covers all levels, from beginners to advanced and has a great progression. It offers not only Kettlebells and ROM but also bodyweight basic movement and movement patterns, to an extent that others would put up in an additional course.
Some would maybe say it is all common knowledge but it isn’t and the way it is shown is superb. There are tons of videos and written material, which will be available even after you did all the content. Also, I have to mention the dedication of the coaches to get deep into your own needs and the time they invest in your progression. I think I had hours of one on one tutorial(s) and even handmade video clips to cover certain mistakes.

“The most valuable information was the amount of diffent types of cleans which I can incorporate into flow(s). Furthermore I leanred a lot about the most important move in KB execices – the clean.
A really fun part (now after I managed it) was the grip section which made you to get uncomfortabel and test your abilities and willingness to adapt.”

The amount of material is amazing. Tons of mp3 (which I really love as it helps me to read-only parts and I don’t need to look for my glasses all the time). But also the PDF, video and picture material is 5* out of 5* – and it is not only the quantity of it – its all well done and HQ from the production to the content. Great- Thank you.

“This is really an extraordinary kettlebell course, where I learned the basic steps involved in performing a kettlebell clean. Also, it was a big surprise that there are more than 70 plus variations of clean (a big WOWWWW). When I started doing each movement, I learned new techniques. This course provides very good information about the muscles involved to perform the moves and also the benefits of performing them. By using the techniques provided in this course I can perform long-duration movements without injuring my hands due to callus and bruises.”
