I found the instructions in this video to be very technical, direct and Spartan. It helped me to learn the form very quickly, I thought. In fact, working out with a kettlebell works me so thoroughly that I gave away my total gym and the only workout device that I use is the kettlebell. I feel LOADS of pain, but in two months I never once injured myself to where I had to stop. I went from two days a week to six in no time, and now own four kettlebells.

Maybe I should get a commission. I've sold the KB so well at work that five guys (including my boss) bought one. I'd recommend the bell and this video to anyone.

As Law Enforcement, I can tell you that if you are not in shape for a fight or have the toughness (physically and mentally) to keep fighting after being stabbed or shot by a suspect, one day you are going to die. I have been working with my kettlebells for a week now following along with the DVD and getting an awesome workout everytime. Pavel's directions are easy to follow and very detailed. HIS ATTENTION TO DETAIL WILL SAVE YOU FROM INJURY...........IF YOU LISTEN ! ! ! ! These are awesome full body workouts that will put you in fighting trim building BOTH strength and endurance. Thanks to you Pavel and the people at Dragon Door for bringing a fantastic OLD SCHOOL tool back to the forefront of REAL fitness here in the U.S.
Greg T. Sheriff's Dept. - California U.S. of A.

In one word, outstanding. The elementary kettlebell routines with a single kettlebell. I lost 20 pounds in a single month just with this basic set of exercises. Best DVD I have ever purchased.

I was inpressed with this DVD. I felt is was much more instructive and outlined than The Russian Kettlebell Challenge and got me back into lifting kettlebells once again after a 2 year layoff.

Even after easing into the routines, I woke up one morning in extreme pain. It has taken three weeks to feel 80% normal. Keep in mind that I have been working out steady for six months prior to this without incident. I would not recommend this workout.
Richard - Leesburg, VA

The Enter the Kettlebell DVD is far beyond the original RKC video. Pavel has done an excellent job in the evolution of his teaching methods and this DVD clearly reflects that. Tons of great tips and clear demonstration plus a very interesting segment on the making of kettlebells.
David Whitley, RKC - Nashville, TN

Having been a Trainer for over 20 years, I've tried many types or styles of strength/fitness training with an extensive background in Bodybuilding.I'm now opening my own Personal Training studio and will definitely incorporate what I have learned and been practicing since viewing this wonderful DVD. Pavel is "the man" when it comes to this form of overall body conditioning. Very comprehensive and concise delivery, hope to continue to educate myself through more advaned versions.

I know this is probably for the more advanced kettlebell user, but I was looking for a step by step program to work out with. I should have probably purchased the kettlebell challenge or something with more direction until I was more inclined to incorporate different exercises.
JMN - Sayreville, NJ

I found the presentation on this dvd excellent in terms of the topics it choose to cover. If you are looking for the ultimate A-Z on kettlebell training, this is not the dvd you need. However, it would be an asset to almost any lifter's library. The attention to detail and the breakdown of each lift is excellent.
jd - Fayetteville, AR

This is the second Pavel DVD that I have purchased from Dragondoor, the first being the original Kettlebell DVD. I have to say that this is a classier production and much more polished than the original but lacking in content. The original has more exercises in it and actually provides more information for the beginner. The one complaint that I have with both videos is that there are no "programs" provided to follow as a guideline and I think that especially with beginners, this would be helpful. On the positive side, Pavel does provide excellent instruction on exercises that can be done with the k-bell. The video is motivating and fun. And what can I say about the kettlebell and its use other than it is one of the greatest pieces of equipment I have ever used. If I were advising someone, I would say buy the first video, an additional one with some program guidelines, some k-bells, and go at it.
Mike Walker - Vancouver, Wa. USA

This new DVD is everything you need to help launch your Kettlebell workouts. The stretching and warm-up excercises helped me to get into the right positions to get the most out of my swings, cleans and presses. Major impact on the flexibility of my shoulders and my sore back has disappeared. This DVD has great flow from one exercise to the next and not a moment was wasted. Detailed exercise instruction and tips filled in any gaps needed to perform the exercises correctly and with the most effectiveness.
MCA - Seattle, WA

This is a great place for novices to start. It explains the power and technique to maximize your kettlebell workout. My son (who is not an athlete) was able to easily grasp what I had failed to teach him. He is now able to work out stronger and harder. I really enjoy the no B.S. approach to the correct way to lift and perform the fundamental kettlebell excercises.
The video does not provide a specific routine. It does not outline any specific workout regimine. I initially thought it would give some workout examples. If a regimine is what you are looking for, Anthony Deluglio's Art of Strength series is awesome. I have purchased both. I would recommend Enter the Kettlebel if you are struggling with technique or if you are just getting started. It helped me get back to basics and perfect my form.

Pavel,

Thanks for continuing to share your extensive knowledge in kettlebell lifting and overall fitness. For over 35 years I have trained and studied many martial arts earning black belts in Shai Chiao Chinese Wrestling and Shaolin Hung Fut. I've had the prviledge to study under some of the worlds best in traditional kung fu but have never achieved as much in as little of time from your information. This DVD breaks it down and answers many question better than all your others. Keep it coming and, "Enjoy the Pain"!

I didn't feel the video delivered what was promised. It didn't have a simple, straight forward workout plan. It just has exercises that were included in the earlier video I purchased so it didn't have any value for me.
Brad Windhauser - Minneapolis, MN USA

The progression here and on the ETK book make it impossible to screw up. every step of the drills is clearly explained and demostrated.

And the DVD has applications even for experienced athletes. the remedial drills are outstanding. I can not say enough good things about the ETK program. the Rite of Passenge will turn you in to a machine.
SSGGLASS - Okinawa Japan

Got the DVD and it is again just what I needed. Great book, explained exactly what I needed to know in a fashion that can understand.
I would NEVER hesitate to purchase anything
put out by Pavel.....
Gary - Underwood, IA USA

While the videos and voice were clear and to the point the DVD didn't seem to deliver what was advertised. Also, the bonus features needed to be shown on a computer (not mentioned during purchase) and required extra drivers to be loaded. I was much happier with Super Joints.

I enjoy Dragondoor's DVD presentations featuring Pavel for various reasons, but this latest one is in a class of its own. Pavel is informative and entertaining. The program works, is no-nonsense, and fast-paced and hard-biting. The feature about Kettlebell manufacturing was very interesting as well. Even the set design and lighting added to the "industrial grind" flavor.
Another 10 for usefullness/result production and 10 for presentation!

judith hansen - minneapolis, Minnesota United States

In my opinion, this is what Russian Kettlebell Challenge should have been. The DVD and book compliment each other very well and i would highly recommend to everyone to get both. I especially like the preparation drills leading to proper execution of the exercises. We are talking the basics - swing, turkish get up, clean, jerk and snatch. Pavel compares various stages of Enter the Kettlebell with learning a martial art - you have to keep practicing to get good at it. So many people (myself included) jumped ahead too soon, without learning the basics properly.

In few years time, when you have gone onto more complicated exercises, you will always come back to this program to refresh your knowledge.
Vladimir - Sydney, Australia

If you are not on the Pavel Tsatsouline bandwagon yet, what are you waiting for? I have had Enter the Kettlebell DVD for a little over a month now and likely have watched it a least 12 times! How many DVDs do you have that you refer too that much? Don’t hesitate any longer; get this DVD you will NOT be disappointed. There are lots of people selling kettlebell instructional DVDs and manual on the internet, but they are just copying the real master. I know imitation is the greatest form of flattery, but why not start with the best and go from there.

Enter the Kettlebell DVD Review

Currently 8.8 in 20 reviews on the Dragondoor.com website?

If that is influencing your buying decision… (8.8 out of 10 is a great score in my book!), okay, but I am convinced that this is an essential complement to the Enter the Kettlebell book.

For me, the video presentation is inspiring and motivating. Since I received the book first, my experience was that the video takes the valuable points to the next level by allowing you to see how it’s done. The details presented are crucial to performing with proper form and practicing safely.

Pavel Tsatsouline’s dialog is outstanding. His experience as a teacher comes through and instills confidence as well as determination to succeed. This is tempered with the caveat that jumping into “the next level” before you are ready is poor judgment and an invitation to bruised forearms, overtraining and so unnecessary.

The joint mobility portions are something you would definitely want to give yourself if you realized you need it. The Sumo Kettlebell Deadlift checklist, the Box Squat mastery drills, the Halo Exercise and the Russian Pump are phenomenal. Since I have had tight hip flexor issues off and on since about 1963, it is a tremendous relief to finally gain some insight into “taking off the parking brake” in my quest for functional strength.

Incidentally, Pavel’s recommendations for which kettlebells to purchase first were very valuable to me.

Get this DVD if you are going to use kettlebells. You will not be sorry. You can watch it any number of times and continue to benefit from each viewing.

Jim Burns - Bentonville, AR USA

Enter the Kettlebell is Pavel's best DVD yet! I am thoroughly impressed with both the DVD and the companion book. Since receiving them I have lost 18 lbs of body fat and two pants sizes. I have also learned that after about three years of "messing around" with the bells, that I have been doing my presses all wrong. I am now "taming the arc", and have already experienced great gains (with I am sure more to come). If you get the DVD, get the book as well; as they are a perfect complement to each other and money well spent for the aspiring girevyk! Watching the DVD and using the book makes it doubly hard to have to wait the time it takes to save the money to go to the RKC course. Get this DVD and companion book, use it, and maybe I'll see you there in a year.
Kory Dykstra - Gwinn, Michigan United States

Being able to see the exercises done actively, as opposed to static pictures in a book, is incredibly helpful. You really need to purchase the book/ DVD combo. The book give much more detail on the "why and when", while the DVD lets you visualize the "how".
Steve - Portland, Oregon

Awesome video. This video really clears up the mechanics of all the important exercises. Pavel is awesome and has the perfect mindset. His instruction is second to none, and his knowledge of Physiology is unquestionable. Every exercise is covered in great detail to include how not to do it, how to do everything safely and correctly, and shows ways to make yourself learn to do it right. If you follow the simple to understand techniques in this video you will be very strong in no time.
Chris Brennan - III MEF SOTG Okinawa, Japan USMC

I found this video to be quite useful, presenting not some important heads up for someone new to Kettlebells, but also some hard won wisdom applicable to experienced KB warriors as well.

I had previously purchased Kettlebell videos by Pavel and others, but "Enter the Kettlebell" was a welcome addition to the collection, chock full of information on breathing, posture, and technique which has helped refine my technique, get better results, and get stronger.

The bonus material on the KB manufacturing process made it IMHO a collector's item.

Thank you VERY MUCH for creating Enter the Kettlebell! book and DVD! I am no strength training professional, just someone that enjoys learning and improving with kettlebells. Clear, concise, and straight-forward approach, this book and DVD use to present the material are a large part of what makes this a great investment to learn from and enjoy. The use of illustrations and quick recaps at the end of each section are a HUGE help to visual learners like me. The organization and progression of each exercise, are easy to understand and have helped me improve several of the exercises that are part of my kettlebell practices. The added insights from SrRKCs and RKCs, are just more of what makes this a tremendous value to anyone looking to learn and improve with kettlebells. Also, I enjoy the humor and that there is never any fluff that you have to wade through. Pavel Tsatsouline just tells it like it is. The facial expressions of Pavel Tsatsouline in the "What Not to Do" depictions are priceless! The final part that showed how kettlebells are made, was cool to learn about also. Thank you again!
Regina Hurley - Ellington, CT

Liked this one more than most. Lots of exercises.
Your name here - Your location here

Everyone knows that once you really start pushing the envelope on your current abilities, you need those subtle yet all important tools to move from average to elite performance. They can seem insignificant to the untrained observer, but are better than gold to those who have the faculties to incorporate them.

This DVD cleared up every problem area and sticking point I had. And it cleared up every strain (mostly elbows in my case) that I knew instinctively I shouldn't be feeling. The fine points of technique, PRICELESS!!!

Anyone at any level can benefit greatly from this concise, no fluff, presentation that's the hallmark of Dragondoor products.

Pavel delivers as ALWAYS.

Mark Hanington - Huntington Beach, Ca.

I find this DVD to be very helpful, easy to follow and remember. I'm looking forward to taking Kettelbell training to the next level soon with more Pavel instructional training guides.
Washington - new york

I am very glad that I purchased the Enter the Kettlebell book and DVD. I had bought the "Power to the People" book and video a few years ago and it changed the way I train (practice) with weights ever since. So I have followed what Pavel has instructed ever since on exercises, weight training, stretching, joint mobility, etc. When I purchased and started to train with kettlebells I entered into a new method of weight training that has strengthened my body in ways standard weight training never could. The Enter the Kettlebell has broken down the basics of kettlebell training to its bare essentials on how to correctly train with kettlebells that his and other RKC instructors previous training books and videos have lacked in the minute by minute detail. This makes all the other training books and videos even more effective because the essential correct form and safety control are the most important components in every exercise and training method. It is not that his and the others training books and videos were wrong, they just missed the essential "kettlebell for Dummies" basic instruction for novices like myself who train on our own. This has helped me to pay attention to the fine details of the swing, snatches, presses and cleans. As always with Pavel and the other RKC instructors safety and correct no nonsense training methods are emphasized in both instruction and demonstrations. Kettlebell practice has literally strengthened and trained my body to safely work with weight bearing activities that require me to be in movement. I am amazed at how it even has helped my digestive system work more efficently. This proves that proper lifestyle diet and exercise do assist in the overall health of the body. Kettlebell practice has helped me to train my body to automatically brace my abs as I perform movements with my body especially when I am lifting and moving various weighted objects. This has literally kept me from injury. Essentially all the exercises and weight training (standard lifting and kettlebell ballistics), stretching, joint mobility, etc. have the same core purpose for our bodies: to strengthen and train them to safely perform all forms of movement with and without weight bearing objects at any position possible for the body to move in. Everyone who trains or wants to train with kettlebells should get this book and DVD. Thanks Pavel and all the RKC instructors.

The lastest purchase of ENTER THE KETTLEBELL is a Jewel.
Watched is several time and learnt new things each time. I have been doing kettlebell exercises for almost 3 years.I kettelbells, to me, are a great way to built a dynamic and a useful physique.I highly recommend it to people who want a body that is highly functional.
There is one problem I encountered when I tried to watch the DVD on My computer. The intervideo would start the program but loose Audio, Video
sync and then Lock up my PC. I can wactch the DVD on PC if I run it through different Media software.
Symmon - Bryan, OH USA

Great for learning the proper technique to using Kettlebells, especially helpful if you don't have access to anyone with knowledge of the subject. The only downside to the DVD in my opinion, is only the basic Kettlebell exercises are covered, and it would not have hurt to put in a few more. Otherwise, great product a wholly reccomended.
Isaac - Virginia, USA

I own a couple of Pavel's dvds, and I 'll say this is my favite. He covers the basics in great detail, overall a great dvd for beginning and intermediate kettlebell enthusiasts trying to perfect their technique.
Joe Valdez - Ft. Bragg, NC

A must-view DVD for anyone who wants to learn the proper techniques in basic kettlebell exercises. I have been using Russian kettlebells for a few years and my technique in the clean and snatch left me with sore, bruised forearms. Not anymore! Pavel clearly explains and demonstrates the proper methods for lifting a kettelbell. My first kettlebell snatch after watching this video was a significant improvement over any I had done prior. An excellent training tool. Pavel's wit, and his segment on how a kettlebell is made, are extra bonuses.

John Kangas - Concord, New Hampshire

This DVD really helps you with getting the correct kettlebell form. After watching it for one day I was able to do all the exercises the CORRECT way.I was able to tweak my stance and breathing, and in doing so, could quickly feel the benefits and see what I was doing wrong. I have Pavels KB book, which is great, but I feel the video (for me) is the best way to go for seeing the exercises in full motion, rather than a couple of still photos. Pavel gives you great ideas to execute these exercises so you don't cheat and you get all the max benefits from them. This DVD combined with Anthony DiLuglio's workbook(Punch Gym) (which he made to go along with the video, DOES NOT come with it.)is great. I always thought nothing of THE SWING, now I think different. These exercises really push you, and you will see results quickly.....guaranteed

This DVD is a wonderful companion to the book. It allows the viewer to observe some of the nuances kettlebells possess. Incidentally my 3-year-old son enjoyed the DVD as well. He was cranky until he watched it. He is fasicnated with kettlebells and likes to watch Pavel practice them. He wants to be like dad, and work with kettlebells too. I must start him early so he can grow up to be a man of iron will and strength. This DVD is one of the best I have seen.
Paul J Naredo - Lubbock, TX USA

My first DVD from Pavel was "More Russian Kettlebell Challenges". I found the delivery and content first rate. I purchased the book version of "Enter the Kettlebell" first and decided to buy the DVD version based on the quality observed in the "More Russian Kettlebell Challenges" DVD. Pavel's attention to detail in presenting the techniques makes this DVD a worthwhile supplement to the book. The DVD is nicely separated into chapters to allow quick navigation to the desired presentation.
Mark Edwards - Chubbuck, ID USA

The old is forever new. Pavel teaches the basic fundamentals of kettlebell lifting that I will revisit for years with this DVD. In my experience you shouldn't lift kettlebells without seeing this instruction. I have a set and have been lifting them for a year and just found out that my technique was off and I have been less effective than I should have been. This is a must have if you have a future with Kettlebells.

On a lighter note, you will learn how to annoy your wife by immatating Pavel and his great one liners.
Luke Dunnuck - Indianapolis, IN

I bought the Kettlebell challenge, and it was great! However, while working out I had the same basic questions we all have... "how does this work?" "Is this right?" With this video those questions are answered. All I need now is to "enjoy the pain"
Kevin Cunningham - Kyle, TX USA

Pavel's instruction and a little imagination is all that is needed for a complete body workout. No gym or amount of reps can equal the intense feeling of satisfaction after a kettlebell workout!!! Balshoi spasiba Pavel and za pabiedu !!!

If I could inject or pop a pill.Thats how I feel about Kettlebells.Hello my name is Tommy Heslep & I'm addicted to Kettlebells.Thankx Pavel for the DVD's & books.
Tommy Heslep - Front Royal,Va USA

The video was informative and I feel that it is more helpful to see the movements in action than to read a book and look at pictures. I look forward to progressing in this form of exercise. The only thing I felt was lacking was a program from this video. Even a simple program of how many sets or reps would be good for a beginner or intermediate practioner being that this is the introduction for most people.
Bryson - Hawaii

Pavel shows everything you need to know to master the basics in this amazing dvd. If you dont know what a squat is you NEED this dvd. This will make your kettlebell your weapon of mass gains instead of mass destruction. Don't even attemp to throw your kettlebell around until Pavel (or the RKC Seniors) show(s) you how.

I have seen nothing but gains since I started coming to this website.

Thank you everyone at DragonDoor.com for making Kettlebells, and everything else, so available to the public.
John - Scituate, RI USA

I was actually looking for something more advanced. I did however rate this DVD a 10 just because it is that informative and complete.
Chad - Minneapolis, MN

AS A LONG TIME ATHLETE, WEIGHT LIFTER AND MARTIAL ARTIST I WAS EXCITED TO TRY KETTBELLS. ITS IS AMAZING HOW A SIMPLE EXERCISE LIKE THE SWING CAN CAN PUSH THE BODY TO ITS LIMITS AND GIVE THE GREIVIK SUCH A KILLER WORKOUT.

I was a little skeptical about spending so much money on a dvd (and a 16 kg kettlebell!), but I must say, when I actually got everything out of the packages and started swinging my new toy, I was sold. The dvd is simple and direct, and 16 kg is surprisingly heavy. Think of the $$$ you save in the long run - how much is your health worth, after all?
Mike - Marietta, SC

Enter the Kettlebell is one of the best excercise instructional videos I've ever purchased. The instructions are clear and straight to the point. After viewing it one time I felt ready to begin my training with kettlebells. Also I must say that the DVD arrived in just a matter of a few days. I must commend the quick delivery. I plan on ordering my products from SDragondoor in the near future.
G.R. - NY

I was disappointed that the ladder and all advanced workouts were not demostrated on the dvd. The reason I bought the dvd was to see those workouts to clear up any confusion I might of had from reading the manual. I also accidently erased the E-mail with the free download that came with the purchase and have had no luck in getting the support@dragondoor.com to responed to my requests for them to resend the link.


Jon Meador - Las Vegas, nv.

The video provides all the basics required to begin training with the kettlebell. Pavel provides clear verbal and visual lessons on what to do and not do with the Kettlebell. He has a dry Russian wit that had me chuckling while trying to learn the basics. One caution that is not emphasized is that while an average man can handle a 36 lb. kettlebell with your dominant arm, you may need to build up your nondominant arm with lighter weights. This thing is much heavier than you think!
- Houston

When I first was introduced to the KB wookout by a friend of mine I thought well here goe's another get in shape quick system. But the more I read about it and looked at the basic foundation of the workout I saw it for what it really is. This thing is out of this world the video is right on point easy to understand. Big P gives a well rounded block of instruction which lends to a great understanding of the core posture, stance and overall body mechanics of the system. I got 2x35 KB's and I have to tell you that everyday is a KB day and you can take that to that bank.

The kettlebell actually felt lighter after watching this, amazing! ETK is very informative for the comrade who has never used a kettlebell before. I am getting a better workout in half the time of free weights, and using a fraction of the space. Also, the supplemental information sent to me provides plenty of variety and pain. I only wish there was a second DVD of punishment, I should have purchased the book as well.
Christopher Malek - North Hollywood, CA

Very thorough instruction. I like the premise of doing a few exercises absolutely,correctly rather than volume of techniques. Either there is coffe or there is no coffee! Pavel has a great personality and sense of humor as well.
Edward Sloan - South Burlington, VT.

Its a very basic dvd...I thought it was some new stuff...but I was wrong...same old stuff !!!!!!!!!!
Rodney Kopina - Mansfield, Ohio USA

I am loving my new kettlebells and "Enter the Kettlebell" DVD!

I bought Pavel's book "Russian Kettlebell Challenge" a few years ago, and I did some of the exercises with dumbells for a while. They were fine for cardio, but I was a little disappointed overall. Underestimating the value of kettlebells (vs. dumbells), I went back to my Power to the People barbell work.

Luckily, I came across my kettlebell book a few weeks ago and reread parts of it, resulting in finally ordering some KB's (16kg, 20kg). I would have skipped the video, but reading the section on the Bent Press--not easy to get from the text--convinced me to splurge for it.

I'm glad I did! The video is extremely helpful. Even for the basic swing, it is great to see Pavel himself doing it. And the KB's are *way* better than DB's!! With the proper equipment and my own personal trainer inside the TV set, I am now hooked!
B. Jackson - Colorado, USA

The content of "Enter the Kettlebell!" is fantastic. I have already dropped 10 lbs and feel fantastic. My only complaint (and the reason for the review of 8 instead of 10) was the fact that you have to use Interactual Player on your computer in order to access the bonus materials. Interactual has NEVER worked right on any of my computers, and this DVD was no exception. If you're computer literate, and creative you can access the bonus materials anyway, but this was a pain (and not the good Russian pain Pavel puts us through!) Overall I would definitely recommend this DVD, as well as DragonDoor Kettlebells to anyone interested in getting in great shape without wasting hours in a traditional "metrosexual" gym.

I ordered your Enter the Kettlebell DVD hoping to fine tune the exercises I already have included in my work out. Unfortunately this is a very basic DVD with about five exercises truly explained. I would categorize this as a very basic beginner DVD, if you've never used the KB then it might be just the thing for you. If you are even basically expereinced with the KB then this will leave you short. BIG PLUS for DRAGON DOOR though, I ordered my DVD and it was deleivered to me here in iraq within 9 days, perfect condition, and yet again with great tracking and customer sevice. I am again exceptionally pleased with the Dragon Door's customer service, period.
CW4 Macs Burke - Kirkuk Iraq

This DVD is very helpful as a starting point to those of us who are new to kettlebell training. I appreciated the emphasis on correct technique. Frankly, I thought the running time was a little short. C'mon, comrade, throw us a couple more drills!
Jim R. - Portland OR

Once again Pavel cuts right to the heart of the matter and gives us a brutally simple template to follow. Notice I said simple, not easy. For the past 4 weeks I've been putting in the work, and all I can say is that if you can dig down and give 100 percent to the party, you will not be dissapointed. As an older (33) athlete looking to get back into MMA and go down a weight class, I have a good strength and conditioning background, which gives me the experience and discernment to spend my valuable time on things that count and cut away things that don't. ETK counts big time with plenty of reward for the little time invested. Thanks Pavel!

i have been lifting weights for over 25 years and i thought i knew what intensity was. boy was i wrong. i purchased a 35 lb. kettlebell and the inter the kettlebell dvd and i was totally taken back by the work-out i went through. after abouty 15 mins. i was breathing like a freight-train and my heart rate was off the charts. I LOVED IT! now my weight lifting takes a back seat {one day a week} and my kettle bell training is number one. i feel stronger and even more confident after a couple of weeks using my kettlebell with enter the kettlebell dvd. thanks, pavel.

The DVD takes you through a basics to handle kettlebells, but nonetheless very effective in its simplicity. Although the kettlebells are expensive, in the long run they are worth the money spent. Thank you.

If you are new to Kettlebells, this is the perfect place to start. Being a visual learning, I have watched this DVD over and over to learn the proper way to exercise with my new Kettlebells. I have also enrolled in a Kettlebell class locally which is taught by an RKC instructor. Both have been very valuable to me. It is just real nice to be able to have the DVD as a reference and motivational tool that I will always have with me. I am proud to be a Party Member. Bring the Pain!

I suspect Pavel is turning a deep shade of blue, just holding his breath (or should I say his opinion)! But yes, this DVD and kettlebell training have something to offer even to a Pilates and yoga guy!

Now Pavel before you lose it and threaten to never sell me another DVD again, just remember to respect your elders! I'm 58 yr. and you're not ( I lost 97 lbs and you've never had to)! But all that aside, what can be said new that has not been said before, about both kettlebells and Pavel. The intensitiy of the presentation, and training and the humor and instruction are all first rate.

If had to be beaten up by someone (not that I'd like to be), it would have to be Pavel! At the end of the day I'd emerge a better, fitter, stronger, and straighter! And I would owe it all to kettlebells and this DVD (with a bit of Pilates and yoga tossed in).

I do know that I'm not completely alone on this, but kettlebells really do work with Pilates and yoga, and who better to teach this then Pavel (and Andrea).

Thanks Pavel for bringing this gift, and keep those DVD coming! Perhaps you may even see me for the RKC some time before I'm 60 yr. (not all that far off)

Enter the Kettlebell is a world class fitness practice at its best. Pavel is a leader amongst men as well as a pioneer in his art. I really wished I watched the video first before actually purchasing a kettelbell. Being a former military man myself I found Pavels guidance to be quite insightful and informative. This is in no way some foo-foo exercise video. I realized the kettlebell was doing its work right from the very first step, my inner heat switched on like a flash fire.

Very good introduction to kettlebells, Pavel comes across as a good guy with a sense of humor. I really would have liked a "follow along and work out at the same time" kind of program in addition to how to use the kettlebells. As far as how to use the kettlebells, the DVD was excellent. As far as a work-out, I don't really want to think about what to do next, just follow the instructor kind of program, this was not it. That's the only reason I rated it a "7" out of "10" instead of a "10".
Mark MacKechnie - Justin, Texas United States

Pavel does a great job of introducing the kettlebell. He gives detailed explainations of how to use the kettlebell including tips for safety and performance. I think it is a great way to get started with the kettlebell. I only wish he had included some precise exercise routines with stated reps and such. However it is very good and I would recommend it to any aspiring "girevik". It has helped me a lot.

I appreciate the straight forward approach and lack of non essential b.s. Mr. Tsatsouline uses.Great product..Excellent service..
Anthony Claudio - ST. PETERSBURG, FLORIDA

I thought this was going to be a start to finish workout, not just a 45 minute tutorial...I was hoping for a little more...
John Smith - ILLINOIS

If you like to start working out with kettlebell,this DVD best for you.I dont think someone else can explain better then Pavel did.

I am a total newbie to this but have exercised and strength trained my whole life. I think the book and the DVD are the minimums you need to get started. I bought the book a few weeks ago and read it on the plane on the way to a long weekend trip. The hotel was lacking a gym of any significance but it did have a nice selection of dumbells, so I tried to immulate the kettlebell exercises with dumbells. I decided quickly that I liked what I was feeling and wanted to give this a try. So a week later I ordered the DVD and kettlebells. I was uncertain of some of my technique so the DVD was very helpful. There were a few things I noticed from the DVD. First I was doing the swing and clean motions a little slower than Pavel. I guess erring on the side of safety with these new techniques. Second and most importantly I didn't really pick up on the emphasis of the hips in the techniques. The way he snaps the hips and tightens the glutes at the top of the movement. He probably said it numerous times in the book but I didn't get it until I watched the video. I dont think kettlebells will entirely replace my strength training but I do plan on incorporating it in a significant way. I also plan to seek out someone who is trained in kettlebells for an occasional class just to check out my technique. Good luck.

Pavel's DVD was a disappointment and definitely not worth $30 bucks for me. The only useful piece of advice that I gleaned from it (which worked wonderfully by the way) was that during snatches do not try to swing the kettlebell with a straight arm all the way up. It will bang the crap out of your forearm. You are supposed to pull the kettlebell towards you after you swing it to what in Russian is called a "dead point" (the weight is virtually weightless there) and THEN you push the weight up. This way you slip your wrist to the side of the kettlebell and it won't hurt you. That was very helpful, the rest however was fairly intuitive. I had been doing those things myself simply because they felt safer and more comfortable not because I was privy into some Harry Potter-scale secret. I was also expecting some demonstration of a two-kettlebell clean and jerk since at least in Russia it is a standard exercise used in all kettlebell competitions (some even forgo the snatch). Yet no exercises in the video were done using 2 kettlebells. Another thing that made me cringe a few times is the marketing technique used by Pavel when he refers to his audience as "comrades". According to this 'clever' ruse you are supposed to feel part of an obsolete but formerly fierce elite force of the Soviet military. It may work quite splendidly with an average American Joe, but being a Russian myself let me tell you, the Soviet military personnel were generally a pretty weak and unhealthy bunch (still are), definitely not worthy of emulation or adulation.

I thought that this DVD would be a good beginner course to learn all the exercises for kettlebells. So far the DVD's are theory of how the human body enters an aerobic state.
Steve - Temperance, MI USA

I am fast approaching 73 years of age and have a very bad back and have finally found a method of training that's comfortable for me . The DVD " Enter the Kettlebell " has provided me with a guide on how to perform the exercises correctly . I can't exercise with the intensity I once had , never the less I can still get an effective workout with the kettlebell. If I had to be critical I guess I would appreciate a workout schedule just to be sure I'm hitting all areas of the body . Thank you for a very good video !I am showing it to my friends and family .
Dale W. Smith - Anoka , Minnesota USA

I'm new to the kettlebell world, and wouldn't take my chances by wingin this piece of equipment. If not performed correctly you can create some serious problems for your body, and not experience the full benefits of the exercises. Pavel has delivered the goods and the info in explaining step by step the proper way to work the kettlebell. Enter the Kettlebell is a must for anyone wanting to experience a new level of fitness with the kb. Thanks, Pavel!

The "Comrade" bit wears thin after the first dozen or so times Pavel says it, but the exercises are undeniable. This basic group of kettlebell exercises is a concise, full-body workout that you'll feel immediately. It wakes up and works muscles you miss with other weight-lifting routines. Overall, the DVD seems a little short, but the information is invaluable.
Clay Wisner - Houston, TX USA

I was looking for some instruction on Kettlebell training as I had never used them before. I wanted to do it right and avoid injury. This DVD covers the basics you need to know to get started with Kettlebells. From safety to technique it's all there. Thanks Pavel for helping me on my way.
Josh - Idaho Falls, Id U.S.A.

I had already read Pavel's Power to the People and The Naked Warrior books before deciding to start training with kettlebells, and was looking for something similar to guide me toward using them effectively. In "Enter the Kettlebell!" Pavel delivers that guide, with a complete plan of action layed out which works for both beginners and advanced kettlebell users. Although containing less information than the book, the DVD fills in the gaps that the book can't cover by letting you see the exercises performed from start to finish, a great help for longer moves such as the get-up. If you're on a budget get the book, and if you can afford both, get the DVD too. Power to you!
Matt Brocklebank - Kakogawa, Japan

Excellent DVD that really shows one how to use Kettlebells. I have two KB's and will be ordering another one next month. I also have the MARTIAL POWER DVD series which I think is a necessary companion for anyone that is serious about working out!
Greg - Eastern Oregon USA

This video is a must watch for anyone interested in kettlebell training. I recommend watching this video before even picking up a kettlebell.

Pavel is blunt and to the point with his instruction. He demonstrates and explains proper form. He also shows techniques to absolutely guaranty your form is correct. I really enjoyed the added bits of kettlebell history and the making of a kettlebell.

A good friend at a local gym referred me to the Dragon Door website after approaching him for some pointers on proper deadlifting techniques. After some research into Pavel's instructional products I decided that kettlebell training would definitely be the way to go for my goals. I had originally purchased the Enter the Kettlebell book which is good in itself, but if anyone else is like me, needed something a little more visual. This video is priceless for that instruction. I especially like that Pavel begins by teaching and illustrating stretching techniques and other exercises to get your body used to the movements you will do with the kettlebell. As a medical professional, I can honestly say that Pavel and associates will save alot of people from unecessary injury and pain if these techniques are followed properly. Hats off to Pavel and crew!!!
Sam - Dallas, TX

I've just started ju jitsu training. The results I've been getting after only 3 months are incredible! I'm stronger, faster and more efficient in my motions. I would highly recommend this set to anyone starting grappling training.
Nicholas Piotrowski - Evanston, IL USA

A good friend of mine let me use his copy of Enter the Kettlebell book. As well written as it is, I still had some questions about the techniques. The video did a very good job of demonstrating the pacing and body angles I had questions about. The effort that went into the production of the video is immediately evident. The set is (appropriately) Spartan, eliminating distractions and drawing the student's focus to Pavel's demonstrations. I am not usually a fan of the live narration with instructional videos, but Pavel shows his experience as a platform instructor as well as his skill and fitness by maintaining his distinctive vocal cadence during the demonstrations. I HIGHLY recommend this video.
