Hands down, one of the most comprehensive and insightful courses on strength and technique I have every taken in my 15 years as a trainer.

Thomas Phillips and Phil Ross are both very knowledgeable and experienced trainers and each brought their own energy into the course to provide a top-notch experience.

I have several different certifications and I feel that RKC II helped me better understand how to use my body to better my form and achieve greater results.

It was an incredible experience and a great atmosphere for learning and growing as an instructor. The head instructors were awesome and really helped me refine my technique.

The quality of training and knowledge of our instructors was top-notch. I learned so much from each of them and feel very fortunate to be able to learn from them and get to know them.

One of the best certifications I have ever taken.

This event was eye-opening and essential to my own safety when I train with bells. I have grown and am inspired to share this knowledge with others.

This weekend was amazing and tough. Master Phil and Thomas are brilliant and patient instructors. It became apparent as we went along in the program that they care about our success and well being. Very good job guys.

The RKC Level II was definitely on the top of the certs that I have taken. Even my Level I, I feel much more empowered through this course.

I learned a great deal that I can definitely bring not only to my own training but to my clients as well. The instructors were extremely knowledgeable, helpful and easy to understand.

My instructors were both very knowledgeable and provided a lot of great insight and information. I have the privilege of training with Phil Ross regularly, but getting Thomas Phillips’ perspective was an honor and opened my mind to many different possibilities. The wealth of knowledge provided by these two was incredible.
