This is the foundation. If we’re serious about building raw, transferable power, we start with the sandbag. Not because it’s trendy. Not because it’s fun. Because it tells the truth. A sandbag exposes your hinge, your posture, your ability to produce force without perfect balance or mechanical assistance. You can’t cheat it. You either load correctly, brace correctly, and move it with intent or it folds you. That’s exactly why it matters here. I’m not interested in working around it or skipping ahead. It’s non-negotiable for this academy. The sandbag teaches you how to use your back, hips, and core the way they’re supposed to work together. Once that’s in place, everything else opens up. Kettlebells get sharper. Clubs and maces make more sense. Landmine work becomes explosive instead of sloppy. But without the sandbag first, you’re building on sand. So here’s what I need from everyone before we move forward. Comment and tell me what you have access to. 50 lbs. 75 lbs. 100 lbs. If you don’t have one yet, say that too. This isn’t gatekeeping. It’s standards. We start here, we earn the right to branch out, and we build real strength from the ground up.

Aloha. My name is Kaika. Live out here in Hawaii. 37 years old. Work as Longshoreman. I’ve dabbled back and forth between kettlebells and barbell bodybuilding style workouts. Always seem to come back to Kettlebells as I’ve gotten the best results from them. I also train go jiu jitsu 🤙🏼

I’m building this while doing a lot at once. Being a father. Building across multiple platforms. Organizing years of knowledge that’s been living in my head. I’m not rushing content just to fill space. What’s coming is a real conference of classes built to actually teach and progress you not random workouts or recycled noise. Everyone who’s already here is the foundation crew. You’re locked in as lifetime free members because you showed up early and that matters. In the meantime use this space. Talk to each other. Talk to me. Ask questions. Tell me what you want to learn and what you want built. If we’re doing this, we’re building it together. Sit tight. This is just the beginning.
