Kettlebell for BJJ & TRX Training

Well, I’m finally getting ready for my trip to Brasil but I wanted to give a quick heads-up with some recent goin-ons.

Coming up this weekend we have out Level 1 Kettlebell Cert for Fitness Professionals in Philadelphia PA. We’re also hosting a Suspension Training Course for our friends over at TRX, Fitness Anywhere.

This weekend will be very crazy and very rewarding.

While in Brasil, I’ll get what my 2 training tools will be ? Yep, kettlebells and a TRX. They’ll go with me everywhere. Along with my beautiful wife and 2 little monkey boys.

I’ll also be training with some outstanding coaches and athletes and I hope to bring home some great videos for you, so keep your eyes on your inbox.

If you ever get a chance to go to Brasil just email me….I know where all the best gyms and trainers are if you’re looking to get some workouts in. And of course you can’t go wrong with some beach training either.

And finally, in case you’ve been living under a rock and haven’t heard the news. My new 24-week video coaching class “Kettlebell Training for BJJ” is now open, however, I only have 7 spots available.

This course is specificially designed for BJJ & Judo athletes and will walk you through a new video coaching module each week for 24-weeks.

P.S. If you don’t mind my white legs…stay tuned for some great training videos from Brasil!

I’m Done with Kettlebell Training…Forever!

In Kettlebell Training I thought I had  found one of, if not the best training tool for all around conditioning and fitness.

That is…until found this. If I remember correctly, the nuns in grade school caught me doing this more than once I don’t think that they ever forgave !

I was thinking about picking one of these bad boys up but I probably average about 2 hours of that movement per day now as it is. I wouldn’t want to create an overuse injury or anything.

There’s even a women’s model: This one is EVEN BETTER:

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.
