Rated by Weight Loss HQ on October 25th, 2009 – the Power Couple – Master Phil Ross and Amy (Bento) Ross’ Kettlebell Videos were Rated as part of the Top Ten!

Amy’s Video: Absolute Beginner 3-in-1

This is a great product for the beginners, as the name implies. For many people, kettlebells are still relatively new things. We know dumbbells, we know medicine balls and we know resistance bands. However, kettlebells are still somewhat new to a lot of people. If you are someone that really has never heard of a kettlebell before, this is a great workout for you. Even if you have heard of it before, this is a great workout for you if you have never done kettlebell exercises before. Using a relatively lightweight kettlebell, this DVD will get you working out and understanding how these exercises are supposed to help. Once you get them down, you will then be ready for an upgrade to one of the other DVDs on our top ten list.

Master Phil Ross’s – Advanced Russian Kettlebell Workout – Powerbody

Powerbody is very similar to The Art of Strength in the sense that it is a hardcore workout that can do some amazing things for your body if you are willing to put in the time it takes to actually learn and then master all of the workout exercises contained within this DVD package. It features Phil Ross teaching you how to use the kettlebell in the style of the Russian workouts that have been legendary for so long as being some of the most effective kettlebell workouts in the history of the discipline.

Master Phil Ross – 7th Degree Black Belt

Everyone involved in Martial Arts gains…. whether from the enjoyment of increasing one’s Athletic and Martial Arts Skills while learning The Science of Fighting, from the many health and appearance benefits of Physical Training and Fitness, from gaining The Mental Edges of Confidence, Discipline and Inner Peace, to the personal Challenges of Competition; if one chooses to do so in your studio, local tournaments or even the stage of Ultimate Fighting. No matter what aspect one desires, martial arts training is beneficial and attractive for anyone who desires to build their mind, body and spirit.

Many people have asked me how and why I became an instructor. It can be summed up very simply. The Martial Arts and Fitness has become a way of life for me. Aside from the obvious health benefits, it has made me the man I am today. The lessons of hard work and discipline cannot be found anywhere else. The problem solving, the goal achievement and all of the dedication it takes to become successful has enabled me to overcome a multitude of adversities and reach levels of achievement and a belief in myself that would NEVER be possible without the rigors of training.

My personal, physical and spiritual gains have been so great, that I feel compelled to pass this knowledge onto others so that they too may experience what I have. There is no greater joy than to see someone persevere and achieve with the skills and knowledge that you have been able to pass onto them. I feel so strongly about the benefits of training that I have passed them onto to my family members. Witnessing my daughter attain the level of Jr. Black Belt, after 10 years of training, was one of the most memorable moments of my life. Having my son, niece and nephew training on my floor gives me great pride. I trained my younger brother for 22 years and my younger sister for over 12. It was incredible watching them grow, develop, achieve and change through their time with me. Now they are recognized internationally in the fields of Martial Arts and Fitness, respectively. It has given me great pleasure to have trained them.

There are many other very accomplished individuals that have trained and continue to train with me; The US Navy SEALs, UFC Fighters, Martial Arts School Owners, Professional Fighters, FBI Agents, DEA Agents, Police Officers, US Marines, Professional Athletes, Doctors, Attorneys, a High School Principal, Students with Special Needs, School Teachers, Computer Programmers, Wall Street moguls, moms and dads. The lessons that they learn are carried over into their everyday lives. It’s an incredible feeling to receive a visit from a college student as they relay a story to you about how the lessons you taught them had such a positive impact upon their lives. When the students that I have taught positively influence and guide others with the lessons learned from training with me, there can be no bigger thrill.

The people that I have met and the friendships that I have forged from my involvement in the martial arts and fitness fields is irreplaceable. The more people that share in the same joy and peace of mind that I enjoy, the better.
