RKC-D & RKC-C Kettlebell Certification Weekend
📅 September 19 & 20, 2026
👤 Instructor: Master RKC Marco Guanilo
Earn two kettlebell certifications in a single weekend with the newly restructured RKC program. Day one covers the RKC-D (foundational level), where you'll master seven fundamental kettlebell exercises, four key positions, open class methodology, and a complete group programming system. Day two advances to the RKC-C level, going deep on the Hardstyle Swing and Turkish Get Up with systematic coaching methods, movement screening, and training program design. Each level includes a 100+ page manual and concludes with a physical assessment: the D-level requires a 100-meter farmer's walk at bodyweight-scaled loads, while the C-level tests your swing endurance (100 two-handed swings in 5 minutes) and Turkish Get Up technique. The RKC-C requires completion of the RKC-D, making this weekend bundle the most efficient path to both certifications. $750 for the full weekend.
Not ready for both? The RKC-D is also available on its own (September 19, $250). To earn the RKC-C, sign up for the full weekend below, which covers both levels.
