    I’ve been pumped to talk with Clifton for a while now.


    Clifton Harski is the creator of the Functional Kettlebell Training (FKT) program, a system designed to maximize athletic performance through Kettlebell training.


    Clifton is a veteran of many modalities, being a 21 year veteran of Kettlebells, Animal Flow, Movnat, and strength and conditioning.
