Discover The Leading Kettlebell Program That Originated Behind the Iron Curtain, Has Been Tuned With Modern Sport Science, And Proven Effective In The Field By Athletes, Special Operations Personnel and Regular Joes - You Too Can Build A Lean & Sleek Muscularity While Boosting Your Performance & Health To New Heights

TACFIT Kettlebell Spetsnaz is a unique kettlebell training program developed by Hall of Fame Coach Scott Sonnon. Coach Sonnon’s travel and personal training through Russia led him to develop a fundamental kettlebell training program to share with his students. He had discovered that the key to effective training was to focus on the basics. Master each level of movement, before progressing to the next. The incremental complexity included in TACFIT Kettlebell Spetsnaz allow for continual improvement of the neuromuscular system. This translates to effective weight-loss and muscle building. 4 levels of complexity means that you can begin this program at any level and track your progress as you move through the progressions.

The sophistication level in this program is what makes it different from other kettlebell training programs on the market today. Instead of focusing on counting reps, volume, rate, etc., TACFIT Kettlebell Spetsnaz emphasizes technique and mastering the basics. We do not believe that exercising faster or stronger is better. Only better is better! Through progressive levels of sophistication, this program can help you sculpt that chiseled physique you have always desired. But that is not all. TACFIT Kettlebell Spetsnaz will make you stronger and faster, all in less than 30 minutes a day. The programming and progression of exercises ensures that you will minimize the risk for training related injuries, which more importantly, translates to a better quality of life.

TACFIT® is the original Tactical Fitness System, created by Scott B. Sonnon. Tactical Fitness is defined as:

• Tactical: Of, relating to, or constituting a series of actions, carefully synchronized, coordinated, planned and executed to achieve a specific end.

• Fitness: methods, protocols and principles to physically, mentally and emotionally prepare, mitigate and compensate for specific occupational, recreational and lifestyle stressors.

• Tactical Fitness, therefore, is a contiguous approach for specific physical preparation to enter, overcome, and recover from stressors in such a way that the individual and team become stronger, better and healthier from the stressors, rather than deteriorate from them.

How Going Behind The Iron Curtain Opened My Eyes To Our Weakness

By Scott Sonnon

"When I left for Russia, I was a lot like you. I was thirsty for the truth about effective training. I was tired of gimmicks and “flavour of the month” fat loss & muscle building scams. I crossed an ocean in search of the TIME-TESTED methods old school Eastern athletes had been using for generations, to not only build awe-inspiring physiques but to out-perform their Western counterparts at every turn. In the West, it seemed like we were constantly focused on tools and tricks. The latest trend proved irresistible as it pulled us off track from our performance and our physique goals. $10,000 machines were shiny distractions from real progress. What I discovered behind the Iron Curtain changed everything. I found methods that would propel me, my athletes and eventually my physique clients directly to their goals — both rapidly and sustainably — using a single tool that was as simple and raw as it was effective. Almost unknown back in those days, the simple kettlebell has exploded in popularity here in the West. But most people — even well educated coaches — still aren't using it to it's full potential. 

“Most programs out there focus only on working muscle and burning fat” 

Unfortunately, when it comes to building a great physique and ensuring optimal performance in your sport or on the job, most programs out there focus only on working muscle and burning fat. And as a result, program designs are usually limited to one-dimensional gross motor movements. Make no mistake. Conventional kettlebell exercises are tough. And you FEEL like you're getting a great workout. But there's a glass ceiling to what you're able to accomplish with brute force alone. If you've ever worked with my TACFIT Kettlebell Spetsnaz programs, you'll know that won't happen with my material. When in Russia, I immediately recognized how to apply the methods I was learning from the country's top sport scientists and coaches to this timeless tool. The training system I came up with was so powerful that I even ended up coaching their Spetsnaz coaches and personnel. At the time, having a foreigner in that role was unheard of — and more than a little controversial. The fact that they even allowed it spoke volumes about the powerful results I was getting with my approach.

The Solution? Use tactical and functional kettlebell training methods 

Because I've put in the time, you don't have to. By following the programs I've developed for my special operations clients and law enforcement units, you can expect a wide array of benefits, including… accelerated fat loss lean and sleek muscular development functional carryover into your sport or occupation better coordination and timing in all physical tasks increased adherence to your exercise program and even a ramped up metabolism

Part Of The Secret — Variety And Progression

It's important that your training be infused with variety and progression. Unfortunately, that's a rarity in most kettlebell programs. If you stick to those “other” programs, you'll eventually either get bored and give up, your body will begin to break down from injury and overuse, or you'll reach an unbreakable plateau in your progress. That's because your focus on muscle building and fat loss ignores the most crucial element in your training — your nervous system.

Sophisticated Programming Will Turbo Charge Your Nervous System

And that truly is the key. The nervous system drives everything. If you don't challenge, stimulate and develop it, your progress will stop dead in the water. The key to optimizing your workouts and fully stimulating your nervous system for maximum physical development is the inclusion of exercise sophistication. What's that? Essentially, it boils down to starting with a simple movement and adding small pieces of complexity only when your nervous system is ready to take on the next challenge. Incrementally stimulating the nervous system without blowing a fuse by adding too much motor complexity too quickly. You first learn to apply your maximum effort to a basic movement. And then — when you're ready — you move on to the next level and do the same. Motor programming is an admittedly complicated subject. But you DON'T EVEN HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT. I've taken care of the entire process for you in TACFIT Kettlebell Spetsnaz. Just follow the step by step progression and you'll have everything you need to take that next big leap in your training. Whether you're an athlete, a soldier, a police officer or just a regular guy or gal who wants to look and feel great, this kettlebell program is perfect for you. If you put in the effort, you can expect that fat to drip off your body as you reshape a lean and sleek muscularity. You'll notice your movements becoming more refined as your timing and coordination sharpens. And you'll even notice that picking up new skills in other areas, such as sports or on the job, will become easier as your nervous system begins to function at entirely new levels.
