So, the two day OKC Tokyo workshop feels like it was a huge success! I enjoyed the students and working with Mr. Matsushita again. Mr. Yamada was a great host and we all worked very hard on some new and difficult technique. The next morning I woke up physically crushed! I was sore from head to toe and 100% exhausted! But it was a travel day and Nazo and I had to leave the hotel and head down to the Onsen by Yamaguchi Pref. It was tough to get moving but when we got to the train we settled in for our 5 hour ride. After about 4 hours they told us via loudspeaker that there was a huge storm in the south and the last leg of our train ride would be cancelled. This left us about 150km from our next stop. After 3 more hours we were let off the train in Hiroshima and the train station was full with over 15,000 people! There were blue tarps all over the floor so people could sit and wait. There was no estimate for how long. M ... Read More »

It's funny, I don't write that often and I feel because of that sometimes I fall out of view. Every once in a while the idea that I should blog more kicks in and bang out several in a row and then I drop off. I don't really feel like anyone reads this, why would they? I am so inconsistant that they never know when I write. Now I feel like I have gotten myself into a pickle. Every day I seem to be hurting people around me. It is not just one person on one side of an argument but rather it is several people on all different sides. They are my friends and I like them all in very personal ways. It hurts me to think that I will lose one or all of them. But every day i seem to do something that pisses one of them off. I have always felt like a neutral person in this whole kettlebell racket. I really do enjoy all different sorts of training and I like meeting pe ... Read More »

I remember back in the day when a small guy would bench more than a big guy the big guy would say “he’s not strong, it just technique”. Anyone ever hear that? Usually it would be a bodybuilder talking about an Olympic lifter or a power lifter. Just technique? So were they saying that the lifter was not ... Read More »

Finland 2009 Different Kettlebell organizations are just that, different organizations. Lifting is lifting or it’s not. If you’re powerlifting you are not Olympic lifting and if you are just bodybuilding that’s your choice. To say you can’t learn about more than one only means you are committed to making one person rich and not the other. I try to learn and grow. I am a professional and if that is not my job I don’t know what is. I know my job is not to be the best “lifter”. When I meet an athlete with more talent than ... Read More »
