I put it up but forgot to create a post about it. Check out Steve Cotter's Blog: http://www.fullkontact.com/WordPress/

He's undoubtedly the best kettlebell instructor in the country, if not the world, as well as being one of the strongest men I have ever witnessed. He defies the laws of physics!

If that doesn't beat all, he's a really humble and approachable guy who has three young kiddos (I like him already), one of the most sought-after strength coaches on the worldwide speaking circuit, and incidentally the headliner for the 6th annual fitness summit this May.

Are you offering?

I'm sure he'll be open to learn something from you at the Summit

In answer to your question, Nick, I think he has his own course certification that is focused on functional training, mostly for MMA.

His style is (thankfully) QUITE different than Pavel's. No, "COMRADE, are you a real man?" kind of crap.

I was very impressed with his presentations, and blown away by his strength. Did I mention that he was one of the strongest guys I have ever seen?

Who else in here has seen him present? I would love to have some other people other than myself to share their thoughts.

I attended a two day seminar Steve hosted in San Diego a few months back, and to say the least he is a very respected guy among fitness professionals. A majority of the people at this seminar were themselves trainers/gym owners looking to further their knowledge and judging from what I saw everybody came away more than satisfied.

He spent 8+ hours each day coaching, demonstrating, talking shop, and shooting the breeze.

Steve is as a down to earth, laid back guy as you'll ever meet. Knowing the crowd that gathers for the Summit I'd say it's a good fit. Everyone will come away with a toolbox of new knowledge to apply to themselves and/or their clients.

JP, from my understanding Steve's new organization, the IKFF is geared towards fitness professionals.
