Thanks S.C. I'm a huge fan and that tuition has radically changed my form which although at 28kg was getting lazy with the occasional lower back twinge. Hoping to be up to 32KG by Jan 2012.
You can see that he's been practicing CMA. He's way of teaching is similar to the one good wushu instructors use (like Zhu Hong from Beijing Sport University)
Thanks for posting these videos! Steve's helped me learn the more difficult moves since I've started using kettlebells. There is so much bad info about kettlebells out there, so it's great that Steve's videos are here. He's one of only a few people whose media I trust (Pavel and Lurie), but he's the only one that has so much for free online. I'll buy one of his DVDs soon, however, as a way to have it all together in one place.
This is, of course, the MEN'S version of the clean. Women need to rack to the side, to avoid damaging the breasts. Counteract by jutting the hip a bit so as to not wrench the wrist or arm, as Steve says. Good video!
Thanks for the great tips. Especially the "glove slipping." I try these for the first time today, and I think I way accidentally doing right on some of my reps. But I was getting tired of that "banging the forearm."
I've been doing kettlebells for a while now... I've not had such clear instructions since a million years ago when I used to study weight lifting with a 72 year old man. Your teaching is gold... For reals...
Thanks. I've recently added the KB clean & press to a full body circuit. This is the best instructional video on the KB hang clean I've seen yet. I was committing the errors of swinging the bell too far out in front, allowing the bell to wind up too far outside my shoulder, & flipping the bell into my forearm ( I quickly thought to remove my watch!) . Could any of these bad form moves contribute to the pain in my right hand along the pinky finger edge to the wrist? Keep the posts coming.
Anyone interested in learning proper kettlebell techniques needs to go to his certification class. Look up his organization at IKFF. I just went to it and it was absolutely amazing! He is a freak of nature.
Very inspiring!

I like your guns.
Hey my kettlebell hits me on the back of hand when i finish clean.
I also feel that my abs work as well during clean.
What kettlebells are those, dragoondoor?
Thanks your video helps.
