Dragon Door/RKC sponsors legendary MMA fighter, Fedor Emelianenko in upcoming battle against Dan Henderson, on Showtime
Dragon Door, the originator of the modern kettlebell movement and the world's premier site for Kettlebells, strength conditioning and advanced fitness resources, is proud to announce its sponsorship of legendary fighter Fedor Emelianenko in his upcoming battle against Dan Henderson on July 30th at the Sears Center in Hoffman Estates, IL.

The fight will be broadcast at 10:00 EST on Showtime: http://sports.sho.com/#/tvschedule

Shrouded in mystique in the world of Mixed Martial Arts, many aficionados have hailed Fedor as the greatest to ever do it, the Muhammad Ali of his sport. He remains one of the most fearsome and talented heavyweights in the world -- and practically a national hero in Russia. The Fedor-Henderson fight is being heavily advertised and promoted in the homeland and some fans are calling it 'Fedor's Second Coming'.

Dragon Door launched its RKC kettlebell training system in 2001, sparking a worldwide revolution in effective strength and conditioning for elite athletes, martial artists, military and all those seeking a supreme level of functional fitness.

Dragon Door's RKC programs offer a wealth of kettlebell information for generating superior strength and power -- including books, seminars, training certification programs, equipment and DVDs. Many of the resources are considered modern classics, including Enter the Kettlebell: Strength Secret of the Soviet Supermen (http://www.dragondoor.com/b33/?apid=4bb2ccbe98c1a written by former Soviet Special Forces physical training instructor Pavel Tsatsouline.

American hardmen of all stripes were quick to recognize what their Russian counterparts had long known -- nothing beats the kettlebell, when you're looking for a single tool to dramatically impact your strength and conditioning.

"This is an ideal fit for our team," writes John Du Cane, Founder and CEO of Dragon Door . "A great believer himself in kettlebells, Fedor embodies strength and power, and that's what our company has been all about for the past 20 years -- no gimmicks or fads, only hard work and training that builds resilience, strength and power."

Look for Dragon Door's RKC double-eagle logo displayed on Fedor's shorts on fight night!

As originator with Pavel Tsatsouline of the modern kettlebell movement, Du Cane has spent decades building the world's most informed and proficient community of kettlebell instructors, now in 43 countries and every U.S. state.

Dragon Door/RKC offers Certification Workshops (http://www.dragondoor.com/workshops/?apid=4bb2ccbe98c1a the globe -- from Budapest to San Diego to Philadelphia, to Korea to Belfast -- providing the highest quality kettlebell instructor program available. Pavel's Russian Kettlebell Challenge Certification Workshop gives professionals a crash course in Advanced Strength Skills, ignites new business opportunities, and propels attendees into the front ranks of physical excellence. An enthusiastic following of leading fitness and athletic authorities, trainers, doctors and therapists around the world have supported and attended their workshops since 2001.

RDD

I heard a great quote from Master RKC Brett Jones.. He said we are suffering form "RDD" or "Routine Deficit Disorder" we always want more and new, instead of getting good at something and working at something we generally tend to get bored and want to try the newest and latest workout craze or routine. Look at all the new stuff people are paying for out there "P90x" the 'Insanity Workout" and of course my personal favorite "Kettlebell Worx" we buy this stuff with a hope and promise that there is some kind of magical routine that will melt off fat and make us stronger. And when this magical routine does not work we buy something else in the same hopes of the last routine we just made 3 payments of $29.95 for, and the cycle continues. I am not a Magician nor do I do late night infomercials but I have a routine for you, its not easy but it is effective and will work every time if followed through for 6 weeks.

Part 1 - The hard part its called the "Table Push Away", yep eat less this is the hard part trust me I know. Try this eat 6 smaller meals a day, with a high quality protein at each meal and a fruit or vegetable at each meal. Drink 6-8 cups of water a day, take a mult-vitamin and fish oil supplement. Eat carbs at breakfast and after a workout only.

Part 2- "The Program Minimum" from Enter the Kettlebell

3 days a week
A1- Perform Turkish Get-ups x 5min
Rest
A2- Perform as many sets of 20 rep swings as you can in 12 minutes.

That's it only 17 minutes of work 3 days a week, on the other days do something you enjoy a bike ride, jog , walk yoga class etc..

Get good at something in your routine the Kettlebell Swing and the Turkish Get-up and enjoy the results, now wasn't that easier then pulling out your credit card and getting on the phone to order the next best thing?
