Announcing the official founding of Kettlebell Taiwan. This organization works with the IKFF -- the International Kettlebell and Fitness Federation. This organization is dedicated to spreading kettlebell and fitness throughout Taiwan and will carry on the high standards set by Steve Cotter -- founder and president of the IKFF.
We have lots of things in the works that the federation will be doing. First and foremost is a kettlebell certification run by the TKFA. The certification will last one day and be apporximately six hours long. Those wishing to take the certification are strongly encouraged to learn proper kettlebell technique first through me or one of our instructors before taking the certification. The cert will be difficult and it will be long. Proper physical performance of the technique is of the utmost importance and not everyone will pass. If I see that someone doesn't uphold the standard set by Steve Cotter and myself, then that coach will not pass.
Second, we have a kettlebell competition in the planning stages, sometime after our first certificaion. For those interested, the events will be clean and push press, and snatch. Each participant will have 3:00 total (1:30 left hand, 1:30 right hand) in each event. The total of left and right hands will be the score. The weight for men is 16kg and for women it will be either 8 or 12kg (to be decided).
Stay tuned for much more information!
