The Architect Of the Modern Kettlebell Renaissance | w/ John Du Cane - (Episode #36)
John Du Cane is an author and CEO of the company Dragon Door Publications.
Aside from being a heavyweight in the Tai Chi and QiGong world and his endeavors in the film industry, he alongside Pavel Tsatsouline is credited with starting the modern kettlebell renaissance in the US in 2001 with RKC.
