What people are saying about Shawn Mozen & Agatsu Kettlebell Training
"Thanks you so much for your help Shawn. I love my Agatsu Kettlebells."
David Loiseau TKO Middleweight Champ and UFC Middleweight Contender
"Shawn is without a doubt one of the most talented trainers out there. His Kettlebell and bodyweight training is far and beyond anything else I have seen. No matter what my schedule, whenever I am in Montreal I make sure to book some time with him."

"Shawn's Kettlebell training program is one of the best workouts I have ever had. Having a full time job and being a pro fighter gives me limited time to train which gives me serious choices to make! When it comes to getting in shape and getting ready to face someone in the ring who may be training 4 hours a day, Shawn's unique kettlebell work outs have played a big part in my strength and endurance work outs. Without his help, I don't believe I could compete at such a high level due to my busy life style."

"Hi, it was great meeting you and doing the course with Shawn. The kettlebell course was excellent! Shawn was a very informative instructor and the pace was just right. We also enjoyed his sense of humour!
As a fitness club owner and Personal Trainer I can really see how this tool will benefit my clients by giving them full body kinesthetic awareness and some variety in their training.As a martial artist and strength and conditioning coach for martial artists and athletes I immediately noticed what a great tool this will be. Especially the drive from the hips!
Here are a few of the highlights for me- getting some great joint mobility training, learning proper technique and having my mind engage in how I can use this tool for both my training and that of the clients and athletes I train. I am really looking forward to meeting Shawn again and training further! Keep swinging boys!!!"

I attended my first Agatsu certification in April of this year. I was amazed at how much knowledge and practical training Shawn provided. He is open minded, has a great sense of humor combined with incredible physical skills. Since attending Shawn’s AKC, I‘ve used kettlebells extensively with my clients as part of their training.
They just love it and can immediately see how efficient a conditioning tool it is.
I use the kettlebells myself as part of my training and can attest that they have really benefited me as an athlete.
I recommend the AKC to anyone who wants to add an efficient tool to their training.

I love using the Kettlebells in my workouts and in my clients' training. Why? Because it's effective, powerful, dynamic and contribute to rehabilitate the whole body. But most of all : it is so much fun! Thank you Shawn for providing us with clear and efficient instructions on how to use the Kettlebells and make it available for everyone.

"This is too much fun to be exercise!This is the best legs and butt workout I have ever done." Alison Kahn
I can tell you honestly since my
certification with Shawn Mozen, I have never looked
back, he is one of
the most knowledgeable kettlebell, martial arts,
instructors I have met. I’m certified with RKC and Art
of Strength and World Kettlebell club
(Valery Fedorenko) and I still refer back to Shawn’s
base training model and ask him questions first if I’m
not sure of an exercise technical point.
You will get more than your money’s
worth I can guarantee you that, lots of hands on
training and Shawn will not give you the cert, you have
to earn it with hard work, demonstrate safety, and
knowledge of KB training. He is very honest, straight
shooter who cuts right to the core issue and explains a
technical point crystal clear. .

I have taken many fitness related
certifications and have participated in various
competitive sports. I understand the need for
mental and physical stamina. However, in all my
years training as an athlete and fitness professional, I
have never experienced the level of mental fortitude and
physical strength that Shawn instils within his courses.
The will and drive that he ingeniously bestows on each
individual is remarkable, memorable and quite literally
transforms you into a newborn athlete – certainly not
the
athlete you were when you first stepped over the Agatsu
threshold.

Shawn and the Agatsu Kettlebell Certification have
played a pivotal role in my development, both in my
own training and in that of my clients. Not only was
he a mentor and teacher for the duration of my Level
1 and 2 certifications, but he also makes himself
available at any time if I have questions, comments
or just to chat. His knowledge of training
philosophy for kettlebells, calisthenics and joint
mobility are undeniably among the elite in the
world, but he also brings an understanding of
various other training modalities to the table.
This allows him to differentiate and compare,
further solidifying his understanding in the
material he teaches. If you've had the enlightening
experience of kettlebells, and love them as I
do, work the basics into the ground and then look up
Shawn Mozen. You would be hard-pressed to find a
better kettlebell instructor and a better friend in
the same man.

The Agatsu Kettlebell Certification is
the toughest certification I have ever taken. Shawn Mozen
is a amazing instructor and a wealth of knowledge. He has my
up most respect and has become my bible for kettlebell
knowledge.
Tina Boccabella
Taking the Agatsu Kettlebell Level
1 Certification with Shawn Mozen was one of the best
things I could have done for my fitness and my business.
I not only improved my ability to handle a
kettlebell myself, but even more importantly, I
really improved my ability to train others. The
Agatsu course provided me with a systematic way to
analyze and coach people's movements that has been
of huge value to me. Shawn provided the whole
package -- from the very basics of kettlebell swings
to creative programming, and even offered some
creative and unique tips on how to market a training
business. I would have been satisfied if I had
only learned how to execute a few moves with better
technique, but I walked away with so much more! I
can't recommend Shawn's seminars enough!

“I have been convinced for quite some time that Kettlebells are what I need to improve my life. My only real problem was that I didn’t know how to use them. I purchased the books and videos, but still something was missing. I knew that my form was lacking, but I had no way of knowing what was wrong. So I went on a search for a Certified RKC. That is when I found Shawn Mozen in Montreal. At first I was embarrassed and afraid as most beginners are, but with his charisma and great teaching ability, I was put at ease and to work. The lifts that I thought were easy became feats of strength to master. Then there were the lifts that I was afraid of, became safe and possible. The amazing part was that he helped improve my form within a very short period of time. One of the other important features about Shawn is that he helped to inspire me to do better. He is a great coach for any serious athlete looking to improve their life as well as their sport. I will continue to ask Shawn for advice and support for a long time to come.” Chris Wheeler.

I do a good bit of business travel and found Agatsu on a recent trip to Montreal. Just learning kettlebell training at the time, I needed some guidance. Shawn did a fantastic job of diagnosing some bad form and teaching me new tricks. The Agatsu facility is clean and professional. It will be a regular stop for me on future trips.

I'm a fifty-year old Police Detective in Rochester, NY, a fitness enthusiast, and admittedly a kb fanatic. I'm always looking to improve my technique and vary my routines, and thus recently received Shawn Mozen's "Second Wind" (along with" Iron and Ice") DVD. Even at 50, I'm in excellent condition, and can still keep up with the younger cops. The routines on Second Wind kicked my butt! I found myself having to get my "second wind" between exercises within the circuits that Shawn does. So my goal is to get to the advanced kb routine and keep up, which I plan on doing in the near future, with persistence. As an added note, his bodyweight routines are no joke either. I thank Shawn for the inspiration and motivation. The investment in the DVD is well worth the price. Sincerely,

Hey Shawn. The DVDs are great. They've given me some new ideas about sequencing, and variety. I never thought to put windmills in an endurance set, but they're a great stabilizing test to do after some of the more explosive stuff. I came up with a pretty wicked endurance circuit sequence for myself Ian and Evan, that kept us working optimally. One guy would do the intermediate kettlebell second wind workout immediately followed by 10 swings with the 53lb and right away the beginner bodyweight workout modified with some pilates repertoire and elliptical pushups, while guy 2 would begin the kettlebell, then bodyweight etc., etc. etc. like in a musical round. Three sets of that and then chin ups and we were toast.
Thanks. And keep up the good work.
-Marc
Hey Shawn,
Hope the trip home went well.
Shawn, I just wanted to say thanks for a great seminar last weekend. I'll admit I went in being a little skeptical. I've been to some courses and left feeling totally ripped off. This was definitely not the case last weekend.
The fact that you could correct my swing in 10 seconds after seeing it was worth the price of the class on it's own. I've made the corrections to my clients swings and they too are feeling the effects.
Once again thanks.
Cheers,
Todd Fano
Thank you all for a terrific weekend. I am sure I can speak for all of us Shawn, when I say that it was the best training seminar ever!!!! We were all pushed to the limit and maybe a little beyond and we survived and can now safely teach others this incredible system.
