Steve Cotter KB Seminar at CrossFit NYC May 20!

CrossFit NYC is proud to host Steve Cotter's first ever Kettlebell seminar in New York City!

Steve is well known as one of the most skillful and accomplished KB instructors in the US, the author of the outstanding "Encyclopedia of Kettlebell Lifting" Vol. I & II, as well as a two time full contact kung fu champion. He is a strength and conditioning consultant for the NFL's San Francisco 49ers and San Diego Chargers and other professional sports teams, as well as to the US Marines at Quantico Marine Corps Base. He is a renowned expert in leg strength and stability and was recently featured in the CrossFit Journal and Alwyn Cosgrove's article in Men's Health and MSN frontpage for his ability to perform one-legged squats (or "pistols") with two 88 lb kettlebells, as well as jumping pistols. He was a competitor on the US National Girevoy Sport team, competing in Latvia this past year at the World's GS International. Afterwards, he traveled throughout the former Eastern Bloc countries to learn from the most advanced practitioners and now brings us the latest refinements in training technique.

Steve will cover the fundamentals of KB techniques including the Swing, Clean, Jerk, Snatch and Squat. He will also cover bodyweight conditioning derived from his years of Chinese Internal Martial Arts training, as well as his degree in Kinesiology and expertise as a master BOSU trainer.

This is a rare opportunity to train with Steve on the East Coast, as he will be a featured lecturer and teacher at Donna Karan's Urban Zen Initiative, speaking on a guest panel with Lou Reed, Professor Robert Thurman and Dr. Vijay Anand on Monday, May 21.

As such, we will be hosting the seminar Sunday, May 20 from 6:30-9:30pm.

Due to the relatively short notice and opportunity of this event, we are offering this seminar for a one-time only price of $125 ($99 for CFNYC members). You will never again see the chance to train with Steve Cotter directly for three hours at such an affordable rate. Make the most of this opportunity to train with one of the foremost kettlebell and movement experts in the US.

We are expecting a very high degree of interest in this first time seminar and space will be limited, so sign up now!

Hi Dan
Thanks for spotting that, we will get it fixed ASAP.

Sorry, all, link is fixed.

This is, as Court implies, an *extremely* low price for the seminar - much, much less than the same event would be priced anywhere else.

We're eating the difference, and credit some serious negotiation on Court's part to further push down the cost, as we're trying to bring in as many CFNYC members as possible.

Any of you other folks who sneak in as well, your gain. At least stop by one of our classes by way of thanks!

Yeah, what Josh is trying to say is that if you don't come to this seminar you are totally lame.

On another note, here is a link to some videos from this weekends Olympic Weightlifting meet at Lost Battalion Hall.

Thanks for posting that link, Keith.

And continuing to go off topic, I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts on this rather amusing phenomenon, the "coregasm":

Allison, I read about this coregasm thing -- it's starting to get a lot of press, for obvious reasons. Uhhh, not sure on thoughts, other than good for the ladies that get the double benefit!
