GiryaStrength and Team Shamrock

I am pleased and honored to announce that Girya Kettlebell training will be working with Frank Shamrock in his bid to defeat Cesar Gracie in their March 10th bout.

Frank came to us to teach him kettlebell training to bump his real world strength and power as he prepares for this tough battle.Previously he has used bodyweight only training for conditioning and bodybuilding techniques for strength. This will certainly be a new world of strength and power training for him.He is raring to go and has already ordered full sets of kbs.
Joe Sarti will be working with Frank hands on and I will be handling program design. This is a great honor for both of us,and a great step for GiryaStrength. We are extremely excited.He will be making a dvd of the training for this fight and GiryaStrength will be part of that as wll.
Frank has told us he intends to fight at least 2-3 more years and wants to use kb's for those meet preps as well.
This is very good news.
