UPCOMING KETTLEBELL WORKSHOPS for the first half of 2009!

Wow... 2009's off to a seriously busy start. Boy, was I stupid to think that it'd be otherwise. A Chinaman's work is never done.

To answer a few of the e-mails that I've been getting lately requesting a blogpost of upcoming kettlebell or Functional Movement workshops where I'll either be teaching or appearing, here's what you asked for!

Hope to see you at one or more of them!

Man, every time I think I've listed all the locations that I'm supposed to be teaching in this year, I realize that I've left one off.

Korean Tigers

I've only got a couple of minutes to put this up on the blog before I have to dive back to work, but it just dawned on me to share this thought...

When I was at UCLA, some of my Korean-American friends used to say "Horangi-rul malhamyun onda!" [I was gonna try to put it in Hangul, but that'd have been a seriously time consuming endeavor.]

The translation is "Speak of a tiger, and one will come." In other words, be careful of what you wish for. You may not be ready for it when it comes true.

More later...
