Hi gang! The October KTK Kettlebell challenge has only a few days left… and your participation has been great!

200 kettlebell swings a day for every day of the month. That’s 6200 swings! WOOHOO! By now, many of you have noticed significant changes: you are getting stronger, getting leaner, better cardio, etc. In class, you’re swinging bigger weights, working with longer sets and combining swings with other exercises. (YAY burpees!) Keep up your energy, keep up your enthusiasm, and let’s blast through this last weekend. If you set a goal at the beginning of this month, let’s see what you need to do to meet it by month’s end.

Stronger faster BETTER!

Salut gang! Nous avons eu tout un camp d’entraînement avec Katsumata Sensei. Des applications pour Heain Shodan, Nidan, Sandan, Yondan, Godan, Tekki Shodan, Bassai Dai, Gankaku et le kata Kakuyoku Shodan. Plusieurs principes et enchaînements avec des coups de pieds, une des nombreuses spécialités de Sensei. WOW! Que de choses à pratiquer!

Durant la longue fin de semaine de l’Action de grâce

Les entraînements du samedi matin 8 octobre ont lieu tel qu’indiqués à l’horaire habituel. Par contre, le dojo sera fermé toute la journée du lundi 10 octobre. Si vous voulez partir cette journée du bon pied, voici ce que Dave vous propose:

October 10, 2011

There will be a Kettlebell hike next Monday morning, October 10 at 7:30 am. We’ll start from the NCC parking lot at the Luskville Fire Tower trail. Bring your kettlebell, a backpack that will hold it, and a good pair of hiking shoes, and join us for a morning of fresh air and kettlebells. For those who are interested, see Dave at the dojo.

Hi gang! Here’s the KTK Kettlebell challenge for the month of October…

200 kettlebell swings a day for every day of the month. We had a great start on Saturday, but if you missed it, don’t worry, you can join in. The most important part of the challenge is to keep good technique (power from the legs, straight back, supported core, etc). Challenge yourself with a bigger weight for short reps, or your regular weight for longer sets (or the whole 200). Over the course of the month, strength and ability will change, as will technique. Your instructors (Dave, Yves and Marc-André) will be there to ensure that you train safely, that you challenge yourself, and that you have fun.
