Progressive Kettlebell Movement (PKM) Certification
For the first time there is a system of truly teaching better movement, mobility, stability, and power with kettlebells. While there are many kettlebell programs out there, PKM is the only one that is designed by a strength coach and physical therapist to address how we move and perform in life. Where do we begin in teaching foundational functional movement concepts and where can we go to achieve things that many have never seen. This is NOT a “how to use a kettlebell” course, but rather using the kettlebell to help us teach ANYONE how to move, perform, and live better! Having taught kettlebells since 2003 we have worked with so many different populations, we wanted to create a system that made the impact we all want to achieve with kettlebell training. We guarantee you have never seen anything like PKM before!
The PKM certification course includes the following topics:
- PKM basic principles, concepts & warm-up
- Patterns and progressions of the hip hinge
- Why the swing is not an exercise for beginners
- Things to master before attempting the swing
- Pain-free patterns for pressing and pulling
- Building a better squat
- Building the get-up
- Proper and progressive use of two kettlebells
- Methods and reasons for asymmetric offset loading
- Progressing from the Sagittal plane to the Frontal and Transverse planes
