You wouldn't find me within 50 miles of a RKC seminar, unless it was to bribe the security guard to let me piss in rif's Propel bottle.

Bogatirs are here to do good. The nutballpeoples are nearly all cured and therapy will soon be complete.

If you put 60 monkeys in a field full of kettlebells and turned them loose, by the end of the weekend you'd have 50 certified RKC's. 10 would fail the Snatch test (for reps of all things) due to their big tree swinging lats and poor endurance. They would likely be considered Apes though, not monkeys, and get a passing grade just for pressing the BEAST! Manly? No! Apely Comrade!

If later 10 or 20 of these same monkeys evolved and saw value in learning something, they would sign up for an AKC course and find out that no one can be an expert in 1 day, but they would be thrilled that they are no longer monkeys, but real human beings with intentions towards improvement. I think this is the evolution Cotter and Stefano are talking about.

I think the real debate is RKCers are comfortable in their bullshit personal trainer businesses and don't want to be disturbed (as in I'm a fake expert certified as such from an self-admitted fake Master of Sports), while the AKCers are generally angry that they worked so hard proving they are better in every way but lack the marketing power of John DuCan't so far in AKC to make their businesses grow.

I for one hope AKC gets their website up soon so they crush dragondoor in marketing just as they have in results. The country needs to know what a piece of shit pavel is and the only way is to watch him try to copy AKCers programs as he did Sonnon, Cotter, Furey, Smolov, Voyapyev and all the other Russians in Mel Siffs excellent book Supertraining. The only thing is this time everyone is watching the proverbial security cameras as he browses the shelves of the AKC ( i.e. the FullKO and IGx Forums). And as for you Rif and your statement that pavel knows about GS. Give me a break you dumbass! How exactly? He wrote about GS in his book as if it was the bestest most wonderfullest motherfuckingest thing in the entire world but pretty much said Americans were too pussy to do it (like he is-remember, it's a puker, so try ladders and put the bell down when you feel tired), so don't even try that shit you broken down "never-was". Did you happen to see the recent results of all the non-pussy Americans of the NAKF that have all mysteriously raised their numbers without pavels help or encouragement? This really sounds like a prelude to pavels new book, "GS, the Hardstyle way"- Powered by Pavel, the guy who did MS once when no one was around to see it. Did pavel come up with anything on his own ever? I'll bet he called Cotter to find out how to fuck his own wife and that's how all this hardstyle came into existence. I say fuck you rif and go find another sport you aren't good at that you can teach the unwitting. You have been exposed in this one brother!

Anywho, I'm back from the wilderness and surprised to see JDC has not fired pavel for being a lying communist already. Has not he read his Soviet history? No one is above reproach if it effects the "Party". I wouldn't be surprised if pavel comes up missing in a freak GS accident because you all know he's trying his best to truly reach MS ;) I can see it now on the DD forums: Pavel reaches Master of Sport, alone, in a secret courage corner in Siberia (again!) but on his last rep his shoulder gives out and the AKC bell cracks his head proving hardstyle is safer. We will all miss you Comrade Pavel- signed Premier JDC, Editor, CEO, and Minister of Misinformation for the Party.

In all seriousness, how in the hell can any of you RKCers listen to a leader who relies on the title of Master of Sports in all his books as proof of HIS experience to give you kettlebells advice in the first place, but then turns around and tells you it's not the best way and you should keep the reps low. if it's not a good system of proof of who is who, then why use its titles? If it's not a good training, then why use all the benefits in your marketing? Wait, I've got android-like work capacity Comrade, I swear. Just let me put this kettlebell down for a minute and I'll show you ;)

I'll tell you what, I've not been to an AKC certification but just by reading Catherine Imes, Marty Ferrell, Paul Tucker and some others on these forums and looking at all the videos on youtube, I've made huge gains since coming back to the States. I'd like to see Catherine jerk and Paul snatch and Marty get MS, so if you guys have any videos, please post! Thanks for your help guys, you are an inspiration to America, unlike that little bitch Pavel.
Jesse "Kettlebell" Mann is back!

Endlösung der Judenfrage?

Rif, your inability to refrain from rising to any bait, not even well-laid bait, has been embarrassing for a few days now.

This is Varsity Internets. Please Zheal your Zsychologicals.

Brilliant!

don't you have some blood to cleanse?

The AKC has laid a solid foundation in 2007. We've got over 250 trained coaches around the country. Our athletes are improving with time, learning from each experience, both in Miami's comp, as well as San Diego's ban.

No need for wars, just back to learning and teaching kettlebells to as many people as possible. I guess the true evolution continues.
