KBLA rocks the Russian Kettlebell Challenge

With 4 folks vying hard for ascension into the ranks of RKC-certified kettlebell instructors, KBLA was well represented.

Grace Chiplinsky, Dr. Jeff McCombs, and Sensei Gary Toppins are now fully RKC certified. Adam Chiplinsky, whom I wrote about in a prior blog post, came within a hairbreadth, passing all of his requirements aside from missing his snatch numbers by a mere 8 reps!

After conferring with his Team Leader, I will most likely be able to re-test him back here in L.A., and as soon as Adam makes his numbers, he too will be part of the RKC consortium that KBLA is.

Please join me in congratulating these 4 outstanding individuals!.... Then get your arses out to the beach on Sunday mornings at 0700 to feel what KBLA's finest can do for you!!
