I just wanted to say thanks and that I learned a lot at the Atlanta workshop. You guys did an excellent job. I hope you make it back here again.

I wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know how much I appreciated and enjoyed the Atlanta workshop yesterday. Not only did I learn a lot about my own mobility issues and how to work to correct them, but importantly I have some great new knowledge to use with clients. I've always known that swings and getups are the answer to virtually every question, but they make even more sense now. Great to meet you in person and hope to see you in August for the Summit of Strength.
Best,
Marc

I was so impressed by these instructors [Jeff O'Connor and David Whitley]. I felt very comfortable. I felt I got better this weekend. My Thoracic spine is much better and pain free!

Comments from the Dragondoor Instructor Page.
Time well spent: Jeff O'Connor is an exceptional trainer. My 14yr old son came to Jeff with severe asthma. Only after 10 weeks of training his endurance has increased. He is stronger and has very little wheezing. Most importantly my son just had a pulmonary function test, with his lung specialist, which was substantially higher that before he began training. In fact, it was his highest recorded test. I don't mind driving 60 miles round trip and taking 2-3 hours twice a week for his training. We are so excited about my son's progress and feel fortunate to have been introduced to Jeff. The training is great because of Jeff. He is an inspiration to his students. He has so much knowledge beyond lifting weights. Jeff takes time with each stsudent to explain the mechanics and how to achieve the best results. Most importantly, he puts safety first. Jeff is an excellent mentor, for my son and people of all ages. I admire Jeff for his dedication and desire to help people. I have no problem recommending Jeff to my friends and family.

had the pleasure of serving alongside Jeff O'Connor as an assistant instructor at the April 2007 RKC. I watched him bring out the best in his pupils, one of whom was my wife. He is a top-notch instructor who can fine tune even an experienced kettlebell lifter, and he made even the finest of points accessible to the newbies.
As an active duty firefighter, Jeff O'Connor also brings a real-world knowledge of what it takes to train tactical personnel. Yet, his humility and generosity do not betray the wealth of knowledge and ability inside this man. I cannot recommend him strongly enough!

Being the son of a certified weightlifting instructor, i've had the opportunity to train and learn at a young age. When my dad took me to Jeffs at the age of 17, my entire concept of "training" completely changed for the best!! I have been training with Jeff for about 2 years now and he has greatly improved my football career, helping me earn the oklahoman defensive player of the year, the jim thorpe award, a chance to play for the oklahoma state cowboys, and earn my certification through the rkc. Jeff continues to dramatically help me with my strength, speed, flexibility, movement, and most importantly maintaining an injured free body. MR. O'CONNOR KNOWS HIS STUFF, and he will work you harder than you ever thought possible. Don't tell him i said this but inside the gym you'll love to hate him! Jeff has become much more than an instructor, or even a mentor to me. The kindess Jeff and the O'connors have shown my brother and me can only be described in one word....family

Jeff O'Connor and I have have worked together on nearly every stage Dragon Door Publications has to offer. His supreme knowledge of this curriculum is surpassed only by two things, his humility, and his fondness for bringing the strength of mobility and stability to your frame. Mr. O'Connor can be trusted with your Grandma and your children. He may fight fires and train young athletes for a living, but if there ever was a man who had his heart in the right place, it is this man. Proud to serve with him and learn from him.
Most sincerely,
RKC, April 2005
