We have had to postpone the Indian Clkub Workshop that was scheduled for March 5th. I have had a lot going on over the last month with both Amazing Athletes and Briit's Training Systems. It has been so busy that I was not really doing justice to the seminar prep. I did not want to attach my name or that of my friend and Instructor RKCTL Dustin Rippetoe. I did not want to have a seminar that was not up to either of our standards. Things happen for a reason, and I hope that people were not to put out.
We are also scheduling a major charity event in April that will hopefully encompass a lot of people. I feel that this is what I am being called to do for my business and for the Wounded Warrior Project. I will have something out about it tomorrow!

Busy!
Lots of things going on at our place! We have the Indian Clubs/Get Up workshop on March 5th. It is going to be a day of improving your movement and building real strength. More info here! Each attendee will receive a set of Indian Clubs and Dr. Thomas' DVD! What are you waiting for...sign up here 10 8 spots left!
It has been two weeks since the Tough Mudder. I have not posted anything about it for a couple of reasons. 1. I was writing an article 2. Snowmegeddon hit us and included rolling blackouts...3. Amazing Athletes has been time consuming.
I have finished the article and have submitted it to Dragon Door. It details how I trained to run a 10 mile race with ZERO running beforehand. I ended up completing the run in about 2:45. I have already pre-registered for the October 8th/9th Tough Mudder in the Dallas area. The goal is to hit 2 hours. It was hard! I had a great time and cannot wait to try again.
Besides the Workshop, we are training some people for the RKC Certs in April and September. Give me a shout if you would like to attend some of those sessions. I am also my training my own happy little hiney for RKC2 in July! Currently my work consists of correctives, Indian Clubs, press patterning. I am not going to really ramp it up until April. right now it is practice of skills that need to be improved. I am doing lots of body weight and TRX assisted work on pistols. It seems to be working. I am able to pistol, but need to continue to work at cleaning it up.
Just quick info as we try to fill the workshop.

Indian Clubs and Get Up Workshop March 5th
Announcing our first major workshop of 2011. We are hosting RKC Team Leader Dustin Rippetoe on March 5th for Sharpening Movement, an Indian Clubs and Get Up Workshop at our facility in Rockwall Texas.
Do you want to move better and feel better? Would you like to be stronger? Here is the chance to learn how from one of the best instructors around!
We will be spending 3 hours learning about Indian Clubs and how to use them. Learn the movements and how to program them into your current training.
The following is from From Dragon Door!
"The Indian Club: Ancient Martial Arts Tool for Fluid Movement, Strength and Joint Health Becomes Favored Secret Weapon Amongst the Elite for Refining Athletic Performance and Restoring Lost Function…
Use Indian Clubs to enhance your sport—be it mixed martial arts, golf, tennis, wrestling, swimming, bowling, basketball, gymnastics, hockey, lacrosse, football, volleyball, archery, karate, boxing—or any other activity where physical efficiency is at a premium
Like the Kettlebell, the ancient Indian Clubwas a once-prized exercise tool that fell on hard times. Once a favored training device of royalty, military, elite athletes and enthusiastic amateurs alike, the club became relegated, by the 1930s, to dusty attics, damp basements and the moldy memories of old-school fitness diehards.
In its final, most refined incarnation, the Indian Club had been developed, in turn, by British, German and American military and civilian experts into a highly sophisticated system of restorative healthdrills. The unique circular weight lifting movements of the Indian Club were considered to promote not only greater overall strength and flexibility but to act as a magnificent "neural tune-up" for the whole body. Sadly, as the exercise community changed its focus, the Indian Club—and its myriad of health benefits—all but disappeared. Just like the kettlebell.
Yet Indian Club Swinging Exercises—in just minutes a days—WILL:
Strengthen your back, shoulders, pecs, biceps, triceps, forearms, grip—and most importantly—your connective tissue, ligaments and tendons
Enhance your shoulder efficiency, mobility, elbow and wrist flexibility—and range of motion
Develop your grace, coordination, balance and agility
Counteract the negative impact of too many hours sitting hunched at a computer keyboard (Reprinted from Dragon Door)
We will also be have 3 hrs of training on sharpening your Get Up skills. Learn how the Get Up is an assessment and a correction and how to use it to improve your movement and increase your strength!
The Get Up has been said to "fix what ails you." This is the chance to learn the skill in depth.
We will work on all pieces of the Get Up and work on improving your skills in each part. We will focus on the Get Up as detailed in Kalos Sthenos, the incredible work by Brett Jones MRKC, Gray Cook PT and Dr. Mark Cheng SrRKC.
Then the fun begins as you are shown how the two fit together like peanut butter and jelly. Learn how to use these two skills to make your body move and feel better.
The best part is that you will receive a 1lb set of Indian Clubs to take home with you!
We are limiting the number of attendees to only 20 attendees. We want to insure that everyone has lots of time to perfect their skills and have more one to one interaction.
The Early Brid Price for the workshop is $250.00 until February 3rd, 2011. After that the price goes up to 299.00. Don't Forget, you get a pair of Indian Clubs as part of the workshop!!!!!
