Just wanted to thank those who attended last weekends Women's Self Defense Seminar!
Giovanna, Rayna, Monique, Kari, Ashton, and Leslie. These ladies worked incredibly hard and have the bruises to prove it. It was physically and emotionally demanding  and they passed with flying colors. I am so proud of all them. Everyone saw the changes in in each other. It was awesome as everyone cheered each other when "the fight was on". ( they beat the crap out of me)

We focused on minimizing techniques and maximizing Targets.
Topics covered were:

Violence vs Threat of Violence
Places of Violence
Physical Attributes
Mental Attributes
Timing, 
Beginning, Middle, and End of Equations
Distance  
Ranges
Base 
Posture
Stance
Footwork

Techniques Covered:

Eye pokes and gouges
Groin shots
Shin kicks
Small joint manipulation
Fundemental movements on the ground
Fundementals of getting back on your feet
Fundementals of avoiding a choke
Ground fighting
Biting
Escapes

This is just a small sample of the content of the seminar.
I would also like to thank Rachael, Ray , Shaun, Victoria, and Ashton for taking a lot of punishment and helping this be a success.

Thank you all for a fun and eye openeing experience.

Some future events: 

I will be attending the RKC certification course in August. This is by far the most comprehensive kettlebell training on the planet. I will come back with loads of vital information to share. I am really stoked about going. This course is also physically demanding, so anticipate classes to be VERY difficult going forward.

I will be conducting a womens self defense semnar in June, dates will be finalized in the next couple of days.

Our good friend and kettlebell "strong woman" Donna Martin will be graduating fron SDSU this weekend, please join me in congratulating her on this tremendous accomplishment. Nice job "Donna Martin in the house"!!!

I also have reserved the ficticious name 'Kettlebells San Diego" along with the domain name sdkettlebells.com we will have some changes comming to the cyber world...

Peace

Wanted say congratulations to both Cody and Darren for bringing home gold medals at Grappling X. This was truly a team effort, from all the JKD students and coaches, to all the Kettlebell members. Our guys were better conditioned, bottom line. All the work with Kettlebells, the extra running, the counltess sparring rounds paid off. If you have a chance tell them congratulations!! They represented all of us, and did so with class and honor.
