Hi, I would like to know if any Krav Maga instructors or students work out with kettlebells. You can see what a kettlebell is, the brief history of kettlebells in Russia and why it is in current use by the U.S. Marines , Law Enforcement and NFL football teams as well as for regular every day Joes to get in excellent physical shape. I am considering adding clubbells to my physical training with Krav Maga. I also want to add gymanstics to the mix. I do not have access to Krav Maga classes yet as I do not live in a big city yet. The websites are at:
Heath,
We use them extensively at Brand X. We have a couple of solid Kettlebells we got from Gill athletics and some adjustable ones we got from ironmind and Ironwoody. We also have several sets of rings from ringtraining.com. I met Tyler several times through CrossFit. He is a good guy and his products are great.Krav Maga and Kettle bell, works for me so far.
If you accessed http://www.russiankettlebells.com/ consider getting Pavel Tsatsouline’s video along with the hardware.
One mistake I’ve done. Over training with kettle bell knocks you out with great fatigue. You don’t have to challenge a \”heavier\” kettle bell til you build a good form. As a result of this \”Challenge\” caused couple of sore shoulder joints, making these uneasy to throw good hook punches.
I find kettle bell effective, but at the same time relatively easy to over train your self than regular weights.

I find this interesting because I do not overtrain. I have the 35lb kettlebell and the video the work manual and Pavel says to do as the book says. I will have to keep this in mind. I have believed for years that it is wrong to train to failure and Pavel proved that to me. I ordered it straight off the http://www.russiankettlebells.com website. It will be interesting to get the gymanstic ones from the http://www.ringtraining.com website and the http://www.clubbell.tv as well as keep training in Krav Maga. I not only train in KM I train in many another systems Israeli, American and Russian. I do not limit myself to anything and always am learning new physical training workouts and self defense. It not only is enjoyable. I like staying strong. I learn alots and new things everytime.
Nantucket, MA kettlebell classes
The Nantucket studio has classes totally devoted to kettlebells-good stuff. Definitely be careful in how you select your weight. Generally more is better, since a weight that’s too light will probably instill bad form. Obviously, if it starts to hurt (actual pain, not just \”feeling the burn\”) then STOP.
Interesting SIP. We take the opposite approach and have people use very light weight until their form is correct. When we teach the Olympic lifts we use PVC pipe. We can get some very good strength and speed adaptions teaching the snatch with nothing more than a 10 pound bar.
technique issues
I find it can be hard to learn good technique when the movements are too easy. Of course, it’s hard to have good technique when the weight’s too heavy and that’s a good way to get injured. Cool idea with the PVC. Each person has to find what’s right for them, and how quickly the weight is increased is obviously a huge factor. It depends whether you’re focusing on speed, endurance, strength, etc.
Absolutely right SIP. I find the PVC helps get the form down correctly, sometimes even using a simple bar can hide technique mistakes. I only lift heavy once every 4-6 weeks. I find though that incorporating functional movements like kettlebell training or O lifts my strength seems to keep climbing. Today I did a one rep max workout from CrossFit.com. The workout called for single reps of thrusters, deep front squat to press overhead. I pressed 20# more than my bodyweight.
