ince Dragon Door launched the modern kettlebell movement in 2001, this amazing "gym-in-the-palm-of-your-hand" has redefined the fitness landscape on a global level, liberating hundreds of thousands from the limitations and frustrations of machine-based workouts.

Dragon Door challenges the tyranny of rigid thinking and of outmoded ideas about how best to cultivate yourself physically. We free you to achieve your full athletic potential by offering you the most effective, results-producing strength and health programs on the planet. We create equipment and systems like the RKC that free you from the wasted effort and time associated with the traditional gyms and health clubs.

The ultimate tool for independently-minded individuals looking to take charge of their own health and strength is the kettlebell. The kettlebell gives you more health, strength and conditioning benefits than you’ll get from a whole facility full of equipment.

Dragon Door’s premium RKC, military-grade kettlebells still lead the charge for a high-impact, high-yield device that has just one purpose in mind: to free you from any hint of weakness—and allow you to move with dynamic power and long-lasting strength.

And Dragon Door’s RKC instructional SYSTEM remains the leader when it comes delivering you the most efficient, cost-effective and thorough education in how to become a skilled kettlebell trainer. And become a trainer who gets consistently exceptional results for their clients, be it in weight management, athletic performance, foundational strength—or building a superb physique, at any age.

In fact, coaches, trainers and health professionals of all kinds have been quick to take advantage of the kettlebells' almost magical ability to reduce unwanted fat, restore lost function and rebuild lost strength and vitality…

Chiropractors, massage therapists, physical therapists, physicians, sports coaches, you name it, have also eagerly embraced the kettlebell's uncanny ability to rehab injuries—in particular, back and shoulder injuries.

Athletic coaches at the school and professional level have seen their athletes gain an obvious competitive advantage through proper kettlebell training.

The police and military—whose very lives can depend on their physical strength and conditioning levels —have welcomed kettlebells as a high-yield, simple, portable tool for fast and permanent strength, power and cardio gains.

With the kettlebells growing popularity as the exercise tool "that does it all"—be it for the professional athlete or the everyday fitnes enthusiast looking for a more effective workout—there's a rising demand for highly skilled and competent kettlebell instructors.

And there's ONLY ONE KETTLEBELL CERTIFICATION PROGRAM in the world that delivers the depth and breadth of core competencies critical to successful kettlebell instruction… Dragon Door's Russian Kettlebell Certification, the RKC…
