Student Surpasses Instructor

YES!!!

I would like to take this moment to brag about one of my students, Rachel.

She has been one of our most dedicated and focused kettlebell students - as well as one of our very first. She ALWAYS gives her full effort at class, with laser-like focus and attention to every detail. You can see the internal awareness, the focus on compression, linkage, tension. Not to mention the willingness to continually challenge herself with heavier bells. (It is not uncommon to see her grabbing the 32kg for warmup swings!) And the results have been truly awesome to witness. A really inspiring transformation.

...All leading to a thrilling moment last night, where upon practicing double 12kg snatches for the first time, and with ease!, she moved on to "try out" the 16kgs for double snatches, (which I struggle to perform with any confidence), and ROCKED them!

Rachel you are a badass, and I'm so proud of you.

A great milestone for accomplishment Nikki. But, I don't think there will be too many who surpass you! :)
