Kettlebell Training for Grappling Martial Arts

In the kettlebell training video below Ivan Ivanov performs a kettlebell exercise that he refers to as “Kettlebell Pummeling. I teach a similar exercise in my Free Kettlebell Training For BJJ Course.

But my variation is nowhere as fluid and cyclic as the “Kettlebell Pummeling” exercise highlighted and is a more taxing variation.  I have seen this variation on a U.S Olympic Wrestling training video as well.

I’ll be adding this variation to our program and monitoring how well our grapplers respond as well as how much they like the drill.

My guess is that they’ll love it:

Authentic Russian Kettlebell & Sambo Training

My friend and mentor Martin Rooney of Training For Warriors just got home from a recent around-the-world trip where he studied and trained with some of the best combat athletes and coaches in each country.

Martin told me the story of these Sambo athletes throwing around 32kg kettlebells like they were baseballs so I simply had to post this video.

I must admit…I’m little jealous of Martin but I’m psyched to see all the information that he came home with and will share in an upcoming book.
