Kettlebell Training for Grappling Martial Arts
August 18, 2009 by admin
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:

Great exercise, Jason!
I’ll be adding it to my rotation… thanks for posting it.
Damn…Go Ivan. We will definitely be using this exercise from now on it looks brutal…yeah!
thank you for sharing, i like it and my dentist may like it even more….
Awesome I just need the Kettlebells to do it.
@ Mike Massie!!!! Mike, I didn’t know you had a kettlebell practice. If you ever need anything just give me call.
@ Darrin, Yes, Ivan is a maniac. Start slowly.
@ Lew, yep I hear ya. be careful. I have seen some eyebrow injuries from kettlebell training. Not from this exercise though.
@ Nicoco, where are you located? Maybe someone can help you out.
WOW!! that looks pretty intense
That was awesome, I’ll be having a go at that

intriguing variation– i had learned some rotations from Steve Maxwell but to a lower racked position.
i would be interested to see how this would integrate with Clubbell/ Macebell training.
That’s a cool clip - did he volunteer or was it punishment for turning up late for training. That’s a lot of pumelling! Will be giving it a go in the week, can wait to see how it feels!
Thanks
wooowww thats awesome
