Tyler and Brett going after the books
Tracy got it on video
Plus, I got to meet THE Dan John,coach and athlete extraordinare, as well as over all nice guy over drinks at the post cert dinner. So smart and yet so humble.
Fawn is a big Dan John fan. As are we all.
But the best part was Team Rif.These guys came together so strongly for the technique testing as well as the 'victim' teaching it was inspiring to see. The real test of the weekend is NOT the snatch test but the teaching test.We don't care how much of a stud you are with a kettlebell if you can't teach Aunt Betsy properly and not get her hurt.And teach well they did.
Plus it was so cool having Tracy around as well. She's way cute and takes great pictures!
The boys be done for the weekend! Rif out. I need some sleep.

bummer, it was sad to say good bye to everyone after mine in june. Looked like a good time!
san jose will be a regular thing????
Agree, three days are short.
June RKC was too good to be true and felt real sad when everyone left the hotel.
Awesome Rif. I remember when I first started reading your blog and you were talking about a 'cert'?? I had no idea what was going on. Now I so look forward to reading about what's going on. Thanks for sharing with all the pics.
dustin,
yes it looks like sj will be a regular cert location and when it's all over there it's strange to say good bye to all the people you made such an intense connection with
takei,
not sure if it's short but it is weird once everyone's gone and your waiting to leave.
howie,
thanks man, I do like chronically these now for posterity.
Certs are always a blast, looks like you had a great group.
Awesome you got to meet Dan John, I am jealous!
made a decision to attend a cert this year. major part due to your passion and not only what you bring to the plate but how you conduct yourself.
looking forward to more stuff on cert. especially the beast tamers.
Howie, when are we gonna get YOU to a cert? Did you already do one?
Great Post and great pics! It was nice seeing you Rif and thanks for taking care of baby Marianna. It gave us a chance to eat :)
You have a lovely wife!
Good stuff Mark! Thanks for having me out... I had a great time visiting!
mark,
so good to hear, what cert are you going to? I hope it is one I will be teaching at. thanks for the kid words and glad to know I helped get you there. you will not regret it!
Franz!
it was so good to see you guys and your beautiful baby. I am so sorry we left without saying goodbye. I was just a little out of it by then :))( blame Dan John,lol)
see you guys soon.
Bj yea it was solid. more on the beast challenge later, But I didnt get any pics, we'll have to wait for dennis.
where do you find such strange goings on as impromtu nail bending, phone book tearing and sledge hammer leveraging at the after trainings dinner party?
that is the money line of the day
sean,
its a very interesting group of people that's for sure,lol!
Who's the Z guy in the first photo? Look at the feet.
Dr. Cheng, I am looking to cert in the Fall. Right now prehabbing my elbows. Then need to get back on track working on my snatch numbers. Maybe I'll see you then. Wherever it may be...
Rif,
Great to work with and learn from you yet again - thanks for your coaching on Thursday and your help during the cert.
The RKC School of strength continues to improve...
Howie, get out to LA! We just added the LA cert for August 1-3 at UCLA, and it's looking like the sweetest setup yet! I'd jump on the registration soon, because I'll bet that it sells out completely in 2 weeks.
Awesome, August in LA?? I've never been to LA. I think that just might be my cert!! Thanks for pointing that out Dr. Cheng.
Rif you gonna be at the LA cert?
And Rif, you didn't mention what the grad workout surprise was...
howie,
yes I will be teaching there. the grad workout was 50 sets of max vo2 15:15 snatches!
Rif, I'll see you in August!
Looking forward to meeting you.
