This is the most complete kettlebell training dvd on the market. It is stocked from top to bottom with incredibly insightful information about how to use the kb safely and productively.
Brett has it broken down perfectly and his progressions of how to learn the basic kb movements is amazing.

He also knows his physiology and mechanics and it shows.No detail is left untouched.Each exercise is done from multiple angles with detailed explanations,talking points and solutions for each possible error explained.

Michael Castrogiovanni is the perfect demonstrator as he can do it perfectly right or perfectly wrong! This lets you see exactly what NOT to do!He also is a great example of the fitness, strength and flexiblity that is obtainable with KB use. He is an incredibly talented athlete.

The first volume covers the ballistic drills and it makes it so much easier to see not only how to do these right but the different levels of each skill that are possible.
The grind dvd really drives home the incredible real world strength that is possible with these amazing tools.

for personal trainers, coaches,fitness educators or anyone just interested in figuring out how to use kb's safely and correctly DO NOT MISS THESE DVDs!

Brett Jones breaks down not only the Kettlebell exercises as well as they can be, but really teaches you how to teach the techniques to others. Brett also helps you with how to explain WHY someone would want to use Kettlebells to get in better shape.


Even the most ardent Kettlebell practitioner needs to review this DVD. I guarantee you by the time you are done you will catch something you need to improve on and will know how to do so.


Hands down, a must have DVD. You just can't ask for better than this.
Brian Randell - Tulsa Oklahoma

Brett Jones is a gifted instructor who has left no stone unturned and nothing to chance in teaching solid fundimentals in kettlebell technique. A clear, intelligent, quality production that inspires confidence in teacher and student alike. Well done!!
Shawn Michael - Rancho Palos Verdes, California United States

I value this DVD very highly. I've gotten great use from it, and have seen others benefit greatly as well. And I don't see how you could watch it and not like these guys. So, there's the subjective part. But I feel like I owe Mr. Jones and Mr. Castrogiovanni a USEFUL review in response to what they've done for me with their work. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
For me, the factors that define the quality of an instructional DVD are these: . . . . . . .
1. Quality of material / / /
(What do the presenters know? how well do they know it? Do they have the intellectual curiosity and overall drive necessary to even CONCEIVE of something worthwhile?) . . . . . . .
2. Reality of material / / /
(Both for future application, and as an answer to 'is this actually occurring in my world?' The latter speaks basically to how 'present' the presenters seem, as the materials are being used.) . . . . . . .
3. Psychological 'inroad' / / /
(How much the presenters can 'get in your head' and leave things there for reasons I might not be able to understand... likability, identification, admiration...) . . . . . . .
4. "Empowerment" / / /
(Do the presenters make me WANT to go to work with the concepts?) . . . . . . .
5. "Enjoy-ability" / / /
(because it's still a human thing, hopefully about something I find important AND enjoyable.) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
To be brief, this DVD scores very high on all of these counts. My level of practice would be GREATLY compromised if I were to have set out with out this set. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I am not a great believer in rating thing lower because "there's always room for improvement." In some cases, as when an instructor takes you as far as you need to - or should - go at a given point in time... there just isn't any need for improvement. Also, though the production on this DVD is very good, improvement in this regard simply wouldn't matter to me. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
This is, for me (and I'm picky) a solid 10. I would recommend it to anyone. So, if for some strange reason (say, a current level of sophistication) this DVD is NOT useful to you, please bear in mind that it will make a SPECTACULAR gift for someone well within whispering distance. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
All my thanks and blessings go to Mr. Jones and Mr. Castrogiovanni for this work.

This DVD set made me as prepared for RKC Certification as anything possibly could without having access to an RKC in person! Brett is SO complete with every explanation and all the trouble shooting. I learned so much from these DVD's. I HIGHLY recommend anyone considering picking up a kettlebell purchase these DVD's. And if you are considering the RKC, how could you NOT purchase these?? I had a page and a half of notes, JUST on the clean! Seriously, these are amazing! Thank you Brett for a fantastic set!

Taikei Matsushita - Tokyo Japan, Other Japan

Brett and Michael are two of the strongest kettlebellers there are.

This DVD is an absolute must if you have any aspirations for teaching kettlebells.

There are very good explanation of the fundamentals, including:
* Breathing
* Safety
* And or course the exercises themselves.

I often review these when I feel that I need to improve my performance in an exercise. I always pick something up.

This video, takes fundamental exercises and breaks them down. There is no fluff here.

If I were to make a negative comment -- I wish more of the ballistics exercises were shown w/higher rep ranges.

Fantastic set of DVD's. This is a great resource for anyone using kettlebells. Not only do Brett and Michael go through the details of all your basic kb movements, but they also show you the common mistakes made, along with simple and effective corrections. And that's not even the best part... The best part is that they then go into showing you more challenging variarions of all these movements, both with single and double kettlebells! I am extremely satisfied with this purchase and highly recommend it to everyone.
Howie Brewer - New City, NY

These DVDs have helped me increase my technique dramatically. Now with better technique I can lift heavier weights and progress faster. I was hesitant at first about the steep price tag but in the end I think it was a fair value. My only complaint was with the shipping. One of the two CDs was not inserted in the case properly and was scratched fairly heavily during shipping. As a result the DVD will skip during certain sections.
David - Middle GA

This is a no frills product jammed packed with very practical information. I have watched it several times and each time have learned something valuable both in terms of improving my own form as well as how to properly assist others. Always stressing safety first, the proper lifting technique as demonstrated by M. Castrogiovanni is exceptional and is filmed both in front and side view. The assist drills specifically for the snatch and jerk were extremely helpful.

In the future I plan to obtain an RKC Certification and this product will be essential in assisting me in its preparation.
