What is RKC?

RKC stands for the Russian Kettlebell Challenge, an RKC is a Russian Kettlebell Challenge certified instructor. The system taught employs a hard style of Kettlebell training that chooses “power production over power conservation”(Randy Hauer, RKC Team Leader). This system employs maximal acceleration in quick lifts and maximal tension in slow lifts. Because muscles generate force by tensing this system teaches how to get stronger by contracting the muscles harder, but in order to perform the muscles must also be loose, so the system relies on a rapid-fire sequence of high tension and relaxation. We see strength as a skill and approach training as a practice, always.
