Cincinnati Kettlebell Club - Core Concepts - Soft Style Revolution

Due to the overwhelming market response we’ve received for our Encyclopedia of Kettlebell Sport, we’re proud to announce the release of the volume on CD as an audiobook!

We’re ecstatic that kettlebell practitioners around the country (and in Canada) have taken to our book with such enthusiasm.

"Your manual is an excellent read. It is very clear and concise.”
---Claire Bachmeyer, Personal Trainer, Chicago, IL

“I received your book and am really impressed! You did an excellent job in explaining the KS lifts and the how to. Very instructive- especially concerning the little nuances of the sport. There is very little written instruction on the sport and your book fills the void. Thanks!”
---Laura LeClair, Rhode Island

“You were right the book was worth the wait! I used it to start training right away .”
---Mark Polchies, Houlton, ME

In addition to the praise, we’ve heard universally that the book contains MORE INFORMATION THAN EXPECTED – over 70 pages, free from fluff and filler.

However some folks don’t have time to sit down and read through an entire manually quickly or conveniently. Instead, they prefer to throw in a CD or pop on their iPod during their commute, and commence absorption.

Others who do have the time, simply learn better by listening, and choose to do so when given the chance.

Your Audiobook comes on 2-CD’s containing over 2.5 hours of listening content.

The Core Concepts Book is more than a manual. It speaks to the whole person; to their sensibilities. However, rarely do we have the time or ability to sit and meditate over such a book, to really give it its due.

A recent survey in the UK shows that “over 50% of respondents use audio learning at least occasionally, both in formal and informal contexts.”

Audio Learning is an incredible form of learning because the material often sinks in laterally or subconsciously due to the fact that the audio is usually secondary to another activity (i.e. driving, working, cooking, etc.) .

However, this type of lateral, or semi-conscious learning, is often more potent than book learning because our over-thinking, conscious/critical mind does not hyper-filter the information.

The Core Concepts Book is more than a manual. It speaks to your whole person; your sensibilities. It is WAY more than a How-To. It’s a What-Why-When-and-With-Whom-To?

Plus, a lot of the concepts, even the how-to’s, are rather subtle. Becoming aware of them the first time is literally like unlocking a door that was solidly shut.

However, hearing the same message again on a somewhat consistent basis is like priming a pump which needs movement and activity to pay out results. And the CD format is just the tool for that job.

If you are at all serious about, or at all consistent in (and hopefully you’re both), your kettlebell training, then having a secondary, lateral resource for learning is a great idea. Even if its one or two commutes a week. This extra exposure to the core concepts of kettlebell sport will be enough to educate and motivate you to train consistently and properly.

If you’re like me, when you get into something, you REALLY get into it. You don’t want to do so casually. You want to roll up your sleeves, get under the hood, and really achieve a deeper understanding of it –WHATEVER IT IS.

That’s how I felt 5 years ago when I first set forth on my own kettlebell journey. I call it a journey because it has been just that.

From simply reading online about these strange and foreign tools of seemingly equal parts torture and bliss. To subscribing to a newsletter here or there. To buying my first set of bells. To finally taking my first kettlebell workshop (and then a second, and so on...), to becoming certified by arguably the greatest kettlebell athlete of the modern era, a living legend Valery Fedorenko.

Valery and the AKC introduced me to what I consider the essence of kettlebell lifting – the very spirit of kettlebells – which is the sport of kettlebells. And in that (relatively) short contact, a cover was removed from my eyes which I never even knew was there!

In fact, before my introduction to Valery and the AKC, I was on a fast track to apathetic burnout, as far as kettlebells go.

This very website, along with the information products, personal coaching and customized athletic programs we offer, are extensions of that learning.

And the journey continues. I meet kettlebell practitioners from all around the country and invariably we discuss kettlebell lifting.

Through those conversations, as well as conversations with trainees, I’ve discovered that I have a gift for painting verbal pictures – or mental pictures using words.

The Core Concepts Audio Book, in essence, one of those conversations. While it does include the unabridged text from the book, it is presented in a conversational manner which lends itself to being, oftentimes more descriptive than a picture in the book.

Remember, we are dealing with 3 dimensions (3D) here. Many times, the key to learning an activity is by properly visualizing it, viscerally, in 3 dimensions. And often this comes from discussion, and the mental activity involved in discussion.

For that reason, the Core Concepts Audiobook is a living expansion of the book and the concepts contained in it.

You and I are going to have a 4 hour conversation which will not only cover the exact details of the book, but expand on them in a way that is critical to your grasping and retaining the concepts, particularly if you are an audio-learner.
