Ron "Thee Bob" Morris

Ron Morris is 49 years of age (the new 30, ha ha!) and is the creator and architect of the first Russian kettlebell school in the country, "usakettlebells.com" in Minneapolis. Ron created usakettlebells in the spirit of recognizing the innate power in all students to go beyond society's limitations, and build an environment of growth and support for whoever walked through his door.

Following the natural evolution of his philosophy, the next level of total physical and mental fitness has arrived in the form of the Strength For Living Center in Stillwater, MN; a place Ron has adapted and distilled all of his education and expertise in weight lifting, Russian kettlebells, hard and soft style martial arts, and most recently, Zazen: Taking the Zen to the physical and creating the next level to everything- a bold statement to be sure, but a true statement.

"I hold many certificates and titles, but as I always tell my students, titles aren't worth the paper they are written on if the person holding the title doesn't understand the commitment behind the title. And, if you are impressed with that kind of thing -titles- this will be one of the first things we will re-teach you: only be impressed with yourself and the rest will take care of itself".
