Duration: 7 hours
Location: Blackburn Fitness, Fenton, Michigan
In October Abi travelled to Fenton (Michigan, USA) after being invited by Ken Blackburn to deliver a kettlebell sport technique clinic at his facility there. Both Team Blackburn lifters and others from across America took part in the workshop which focussed on breaking down the sport lifts (jerk, long cycle and snatch) and identifying and dealing with sticking points in technique. By request from the attendees some lifting mobility and activation drill were also covered along with discussions on specific drills and GPP to help improve results under the bells themselves.
Huge thank you to Ken for hosting, and to everyone who attended, great bunch of people to work with!

I got so much out of the group and one-on-one sessions with Abi. Her eye for the smallest of details and timing is incredible. She also gave great GPP/mobility information and suggestions and really adapted to the groups interests

Incredibly comprehensive and overloaded with great information. Both as a lifter myself and coach of a team, I brought back more tips, tricks, and adjustments than I knew were available! Abi broke down the lifts in a way that made it easy to relearn and start to break bad habits as well as to be able to coach and cue new lifters into them. I felt as though I had gone through a multiple day re-certification with a hands on 1:1 element usually only provided in singular sessions. I would strongly recommend anyone considering attending this type of workshop to not hesitate and seek out Abi for a host. She is nothing short of incredible.
