I went along to one of Phil's 3 hour workshops today - totally awesome!
As someone who has had over 20 years of weightlifting experience, with 10 years working in the strength and conditioning fields and with Olympic lifts I was amazed at Phil's knowledge. Having watched both Enter the Kettlebell and both of Steve Cotter's Encyclopedia's I was pretty sure I had a good handle on the basics. While I didn't need much technical correction I did get a lot out of it in terms of a deeper knowledge of the movements as well as the mechanics and coaching points.
Additionally, I took 3 of my PT students with me who all got a lot out of the day. I'm hoping that more of my students will come along as I think they're an excellent introduction to KB lifting and ensure that the basics techniques are well and truly understood and mastered.
Thanks to Australian Kettlebells and Phil for putting these workshops on. Anyone thinking of attending should go - the cost is more than worth it (after all, if you hurt yourself it costs less than 3 visits to the physio...)
