Kettlebells - Los Angeles

[tmurfsurf]

Nice vid! I've done all types of workouts- Boot camps, martial arts, weight training, boxing, grappling, TRX suspension; but I'm new to Kball training. It is great, just like many other workouts, but you really seem to get more bang for your buck with the Kballs. ALL training is good- just get your butts moving! Why argue about what's better... do it all!!! BTW, does anyone know if there are studies done on Kballs and bone density??

kettleBELL not ball

[chancedis]

What's the deal with all the haters? If you actually tried the kettlebell workouts you would know right away what all the "hype" is all about. Actually, you'll find hope. I had rotator cuff/labrum tear & ACL reconstruction sugeries over the years & thought my competitive playing days were over. I finally had enough of my shoulder instability & gave kettlebells a go 3 months ago. Now my shoulders can handle the benching & I'm jumping and spiking volleyballs just like pre-surgery.

Kettlebells might have some merit.

Yet, whenever someone swings stuff letting momentum take over, two things happen:

1. momentum energy replaces muscle energy

2. potential for injury is high

Most kettlebell vids show folks swinging them about, out of control.

You seem them arching their backs, in effect turning their backs into bows-as-levers, which is dangerous, unhealthy.

[Davelovesemily]

you can hurt yourself doing anything...but if used with proper movement kettlebells will rock your world

[TruthAxe]

You're right.

It seems that most use too heavy kettlebells and thus need momentum to move them.

Heavy-duty resistance bands offer all of the advantages of kettlebells (inital thrust) without all of the negatives (momentum, lack of return phase control).

[feelflowz]

I can't think of a better place to work out...the beach! Ahhhh

[masterblair]

Great advertisement being so close. But the opening KB Logo is so wrong. The handle is too thin and makes me think of a purse.

[zorbs]

I love it! Asians being hardcore with KB's...all the Asian girls I see here are SO skinny and weak, it's sad.

Thanks for all your great comments, folks! We have a new edit of this video up. Youtube's not letting me post the URL, but it's titled Kettlebells Los Angeles 2.0!

[SoundPath]

size is not always relative to strength. Especially not in people that train with Kettlebells.

[johnnymnemonic2]

Great video!!!

[authenticstrength]

Comrade, that made me get my white ass out of the chair and go jerk for an hour. Clean and jerk, that is. See you in LA.

[mjcsifu]

Comrade Will, please DO holler when you come to LA. The crew would LOVE to meet you, as they've all heard about the Big Willie Style! All we need to do is get you, Whitley, and Pavel together for a serious event! :-)

[davewhitley]

Nice clip Dr. SifuMark, kickin it hardstyle!

[brittown]

[mjcsifu]

Actually, you'd want to be a girevik - one who trains with a girya (kettlebell).

[Shaolos]

Dokbonfus : Another rule is with us : It's your fault and never contest for space with a girya, it is gonna win the battle :D

[DokBonfus]

Nice rule!

When I grow up I wanna be a gyria, then! :-)

(I am round enough...)

[DokBonfus]

"girya"... sorry!

[williebl2005]

Doc it's Willie! That was awesome!!!

[mjcsifu]

Guro Willie, one of these days, we have to get you out on the beach! There are a bunch of kettlebells here calling for you! :-D

[williebl2005]

Sifu Mark, I will visit soon! Best wishes.  Willie

[mjcsifu]

Sure. The kettelbells can be thrown, but you get more benefit out of keeping them in your hands and doing higher reps with them.

[DokBonfus]

Great. I saw that in the video everybody kept swinging the kettlebells, but nobody threw them. Thus I asked... :-)

I guess that a novice should watch his own toes! :-)

[mjcsifu]

Actually, there's a saying in the kettlebell community... "Quick feet are happy feet!" :)

[DokBonfus]

:-D

[DokBonfus]

Will you ever throw it? ;-P
