Antonio, how popular is kettlebell training "over there"? I'd like to do some training overseas after I finish school; I'm a kettlebell trainer (HKC/NSCA-CPT) right now. Interested in some kali/sanda &YiQuan.

@durty1calhoun Kettle bell training is only popular among MMA fighters.

[durty1calhoun]

@brooklynmonk1 ahh...I see. Dr. Mark Cheng has a video coming out on kettlebell training for MMA and TMA's. He also writes for Black Belt Magazine. Anyway, I've been thinking about moving to Australia after school to do personal training/kettlebell instruction, that way I'm close to Asia to study on vacation. I was inspired by your books! Also, I'm from Nashville, it's cool that you grew up in the 'Boro!

[brooklynmonk1]

@durty1calhoun I graduated from MTSU in Murfreeseboro, right near Nashville.

[durty1calhoun]

@brooklynmonk1 Cool man! I knew you grew up around Murfreesboro, but didn't know you went to MTSU, too! You definitely have some fans of your work around here (at least in my small MA circle) Thanks for keeping us informed!
