What is the IKFF (International Kettlebell & Fitness Federation)
The IKFF is an organization whose goals are two-fold: to promote Kettlebell training and complete mind/body fitness on a global scale, and to support our members in developing the all-encompassing skills needed to accelerate their own fitness and fitness-oriented businesses. The vision in creating this is to offer passionate fitness enthusiasts a no-nonsense, ever-evolving resource they can trust is on the cutting edge of athletic training and conditioning!
CKT – Certified Kettlebell Teacher Course, with Steve Cotter
It’s no secret that kettlebells have proven themselves to be one of the most effective training tools in existence for developing every attribute on the physical/athletic continuum – strength, endurance, core strength, agility, flexibility and the list goes on. However, there really hasn’t been a comprehensive system that brings together the all the benefits kettlebells have to offer. Until now! – that is where the CKT certification comes in!
What will you learn at a CKT certification?
- The core Kettlebell lifts and all their variations!
- How to properly execute all of the competition lifts involved in Russian Kettlebell Sport – swing, snatch, clean, jerk, clean and jerk.
- How you can still achieve all of your fitness goals despite the challenge of limited time
- How to design a program for any fitness goal you or your clients may have – strength, endurance, work capacity, muscle mass, mobility etc.
- The necessary drills needed to help ensure you and your clients learn all the lifts safely
- The multiple types of energy needed for powerful pressing and squatting
- The importance of training for “time” and how it can take your “work capacity” through the roof!
- How kettlebells train your body to effectively manage any type of force encountered in the real world
- How to create the “blueprint” necessary for achieving mastery in Russian Kettlebell sport
- Why kettlebells make you more resistant to injury
- How kettlebells can be combined with other training methods to develop un-matched athleticism
- Why learning to regulate your tension is a huge must in improving your lifts and athleticism
And much more!

The Cell has the opportunity to host a CrossFit Gymnastics Certification on the weekend of 14/15 March 2009.
Before committing to the long trip to Perth, Jeff Tucker and his CrossFit Gymnastics Cert crew want to be sure there is sufficient interest in Perth to warrant a Cert. We’re after at least 30 attendees.
I attended the Cert in Sydney last year and thoroughly recommend it. I learned a great deal and had a lot of fun in the process. If you’re keen to expand your knowledge of CrossFit and learn how to dramatically increase your fitness or that of your athletes through the use of basic Gymnastics movements, this Cert is not to be missed.
Click here for more info about the Cert and please email me your interest A.S.A.P. at jason@thecellfitness.com.au.
We are after definite numbers, so if you’re non-committal, please don’t count yourself in.
