Kanama Level 1 – Olympic Weightlifting Certification Workshop
Description
On this 2 day workshop, Kanama High Performance will be holding a certification workshop, with the goal of teaching people how to coach weightlifting. This seminar is open to beginner and intermediate weight lifters, and anyone who would like to further improve their technique and athletic abilities.
The coaching objective for this workshop is to teach beginners the technical aspects of weightlifting. It is primarily a technique coaching seminar. The execution of all versions of the main lifts will be covered, along with troubleshooting of physical problems and limitations.
The workshop will be a combination of theory and practical work, with participants executing the movements and learning how to coach each other. There will be a test at the end of the workshop which will have a practical component. To pass the test and receive the Level One Certificate, each participant must demonstrate that they are competent to teach weightlifting technique to beginners – i.e. that they understand and can practically apply all that is taught during the workshop.
Kanama High Performance would like to share the Olympic weightlifting success of some of our athletes, and show what can be achieved at any age. Learn proper technique of Snatch, Clean and Jerk and Squat (Front and Back) from one of Canada’s top Olympic weightlifting coaches Hani Kanama.
