Kettlebell Training for BJJ is the Kick-start you need so listen closely.
Train with only 2 things…your kettlebell and you.
Remember, you’re improving your BJJ through supplemental kettlebell training.
Simplify your life with a very simple training tool, the Russian Kettlebell.
Your mind, body and BJJ will thank you for it! E. Our 1st E is for ELIMINATES. Kettlebell training eliminates the need for a large training facility.
A moderate size BJJ academy could easily line up 20 kettlebells along the wall.
T. Our 1st T is for TIME. Kettlebell training allows you to reduce overall training time, so you can devote your attention to other issues such as strategy, skill, rest and recovery.
You’re going to love it every step of the way! T. Our 2nd T is for TOTAL. Kettlebell training is the total package.
I’ll show you how! Of course at times other training tools might need to be brought in, but if you’re creative or have a creative and knowledgeable coach than you can very well design a kettlebell program to meet all your athletics needs, especially when you realize that you’re a BJJ athlete and not a powerlifter or professional weightlifter.
L. L is for LEVERAGE. “No grip, no fulcrum. No fulcrum, no leverage. No leverage, no Jiu-Jitsu. Develop a strong, vise-like grip and use it – lay HEAVY HANDS on your opponent!” Kettlebell Training builds powerful forearms and a strong…enduring grip.
Kettlebells possess a thicker handle than their barbell and dumbbell counterparts taxing your grip and developing greater forearm strength.
The design of the kettlebell also adds a unique component to your grip training.
Since the kettlebell’s center of gravity is usually in motion your grip training becomes a combination of static and dynamic muscular contractions in an attempt to control that fluctuating center of mass.
E. Our 2nd E is for EVERYWHERE. Kettlebell training allows you to never miss a workout.
Kettlebells allow you to train anywhere, the local park, beach, outside or inside.
B. B is for BRIDGE. Kettlebell training bridges the gap between strength training and cardio; BJJ does not respect the difference.
These are the exact physical qualities that kettlebell training develops best… so stick with it.
L. Our 3rd L in the lineup is for LIFETIME VALUE. The initial investment to purchase a kettlebell might be a bit higher than other training tools.
L. Our 4th and final L is for LUNGS. Kettlebell training improves your cardio-respiratory fitness.
Many Kettlebell exercises for BJJ compress your ribcage as well, which teaches you how to stay calm and continue working while being compressed.
