Lane Tech KB Worshop

Held a KB workshop today at Lane Tech High School. Had a great turn out of highly motivated victims. Took them through a basic KB Swing intro, probably talked a little too much, but I wanted them to have the technique down. With KB training, everything revolves around the swing. If you want to improve your snatch, practice the swing. If you want a better Turkish Get-Up, practice the swing. If any off the attendees decide to start training with me, I’ll shut up and put’em to work. They’ll be wishing I would talk more. Check out some PICS

Visited Xtreme Speed out in Plainfield – Holy shit, what a facility! If the facility isn’t enough to impress you, wait til Kasper runs you through a workout. My only regrets about my high school and college playing days is that I didn’t know training like this existed. Maybe it didn’t, but thank God it does today. There is nothing more exciting than being in an atmosphere that lives and breathes training. It’s a self inflicted torcher chamber that determines quality by how close to death you feel. I’m getting goose bumps just thinking about it. Can’t wait for my next visit. www.xtreme-speed.com
