The kettlebell. AK-47 of physical training hardware. Hunk of iron on a handle. Simple, sinister, brutal—and ferociously effective for developing explosive strength, dramatic power and never-say-die conditioning. The man's man's choice for the toughest, most demanding, highest-yield exercise tool on the planet. Guaranteed to forge a rugged, resilient, densely-muscled frame—built to withstand the hardest beating and dish it right back out, 24/7.

Once the prized and jealously-guarded training secret of elite Russian athletes, old-school strongmen and the military, the kettlebell has invaded the West. And taken no prisoners—thanks to former Soviet Special Forces physical training instructor and strength author, Pavel Tsatsouline's 2001 publication of The Russian Kettlebell Challenge and his manufacture of the first traditional Russian kettlebell in modern America.

American hardmen of all stripes were quick to recognize what their Russian counterparts had long known—nothing, nothing beats the kettlebell, when you're looking for a single tool to dramatically impact your strength and conditioning. A storm of success has swept the American Strength and Conditioning landscape, as kettlebell "Comrades" have busted through to new PRs, broken records, thrashed their opponents and elevated their game to new heights of excellence.

With Enter the Kettlebell! Pavel delivers a significant upgrade to his original landmark work, The Russian Kettlebell Challenge. Drawing on five years of developing and leading the world's first and premiere kettlebell instructor certification program, and after spending five years of additional research into what really works for dramatic results with the kettlebell—we have Enter the Kettlebell!

Pavel lays out a foolproof master system that guarantees you success—if you simply follow the commands!

Develop all-purpose strength—to easily handle the toughest and most unexpected demand
Maximize staying power—because the last round decides all
Forge a fighter's physique—because the form must follow the function

Enter the kettlebell!—and follow the three-stage plan to kettlebell mastery:

1. The New RKC Program Minimum
With just two kettlebell exercises, takes you from raw newbie to solid contender—well-conditioned, flexible, resilient and muscular in all the right places.

2. The RKC Rite of Passage
Jumps you to the next level of physical excellence with Pavel's proven RKC formula for exceptional strength and conditioning.

3. Become a Man Among Men
Propels you to a Special Forces level of conditioning and earns you the right to call yourself a man.

When you rise to the challenge—and Enter the Kettlebell!—there will be no more confusion, no more uncertainty and no more excuses—only raw power, never-quit conditioning and earned respect.

Yes! I am ready to take my strength and conditioning to undreamt-of new heights with Pavel's 100% guaranteed, foolproof, proven Masterplan for fast-track kettlebell training success. I want to order Pavel's Enter the Kettlebell! DVD NOW—and not waste one more day, being weaker than I need to be.

"Pavel's Enter the Kettlebell! helps you weed out weakness… develop explosive power, strength and never-quit endurance—with his PROVEN system for rapid, spectacular and across-the-board gains in physical performance"

The kettlebell has proved its worth many times over since Pavel has introduced it to America. Elite athletes, fighters, special operators, and regular hard Comrades swear by the extraordinary strength and conditioning delivered by this ancient Russian tool.

Now, it is YOUR turn to Enter the Kettlebell!

For a kettlebell novice, the hardest part is knowing where to begin. And what you really need to do to get off to a quick—yet rock-solid—start.

Pavel delivers…

For the Comrade who's already put in a year or two of kettlebell time, it's easy to hit a plateau after explosive early gains. Pavel knocks him out of his sophomore slump and helps him take his game to a higher level.

Then there's the grizzled KB vet who's been around the block and got too arrogant to practice his fundamentals (or never learned them in the first place). Pavel hammers the fundamentals because "it is the mastery of the basics that separates the elite from the rest."

With Enter the Kettlebell! Pavel has done all the work for you—honing a masterplan of essential training secrets that guarantee to make you powerful, resilient, and enduring—if you simply follow the proven guidelines.

Acquire these key kettlebell training shortcuts—and use them to blast through to undreamt-of levels of strength and physical excellence…

Now, Pavel honed his amazingly effective Enter the Kettlebell! masterplan for elite strength and high-performance conditioning in the trenches of his RKC kettlebell instructor certification training programs…

So rather than just take our word for the power of Pavel's RKC program to forever alter your strength and conditioning world, listen to what these elite athletes, coaches and professionals have to say:

"If I could've met Pavel in the early 80's, I might have won two Gold medals."
—Dr. Dennis Koslowski, Chiropractor, ART specialist and the first American to win Olympic Medals in Greco-Roman Wrestling (Bronze in 1988, Silver in 1992)

"As a school teacher the RKC certification was the best thing that I could do for my students. I highly recommend the RKC certification course to personal trainers, teachers and Olympic weightlifting coaches in their development of athletes with whom they work."
—Mike Burgener, Buena Vista, CA

"I have both ACSM and NSCA certifications. Pavel's RKC was light years beyond these. Much more practical and useful information."
—Glenn R. Hoey, ND, CSCS, Naturopathic Physician, Strength Coach, Wenatchee, WA

"Pavel's Russian Kettlebell Certification was an intense learning period for exercise practice that you can't get anywhere else with people you probably couldn't find together in one group if you searched a lifetime. Excellent and thorough knowledge by all instructors, especially Pavel. Scope is probably the broadest I have ever dealt with. Practical use is excellent."
—Bud Jeffries, Author, world record powerlifter, Lakeland, FL

"A really complete and well structured course: Top quality of information."
—Mario Civalleri, Fitness Consultant, 1999 Powerlifting World Champion Cantu, Italy

"Since I am a gym owner, I have been to a lot of different workshops: this one is by far the best. The quality of instruction and level of attention is second to none.

There is tremendous depth and it is extremely practical for anyone in athletics or just looking to get in shape. This workshop accomplished everything and more that I was hoping for."
—Thomas Phillips, 2002 Body-for-Life Grand master Champion, Special Education Teacher/ Owner personal training studio, Tinton Falls, NJ

"It was the most intense hands on high volume information and practical workshop I have ever attended. And believe me, I have been in this field for 27 years. And have been to countless seminars and workshops and nothing compares to what you will learn. If you you're an expert in this field, think again! I've got as much education and background as some of the best and I started learning the moment I walked through the door."
—Kerry Timko, Strength/Conditioning Coach/PT, Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada

"Excellent course, with great instruction and I highly recommend it to anyone who is serious about gaining a strong & powerful body. Best complete course I've ever taken w/ really useful knowledge and materials."

A MUST HAVE FOR ANY KETTLEBELL BEGINNER Rated 10 out of 10

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.
Keith "Pappy" Iseley - Snellville, Georgia

Best DVD to get you started Rated 9 out of 10

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.

A back breaker Rated 1 out of 10

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

Amazing! A Perfect Complement to the Book! Rated 10 out of 10

I bought the Enter The Kettlebell book about three months ago and started the Program Minimum with reckless abandon! In a few weeks I could feel and see results from the simple, yet effective workout. After getting the DVD companion, though, I am amazed at how more effective my workouts have become! Seeing the movements by the Master himself makes all the difference...if you want to see massive gains with your kettlebell workouts, you need to get the ETK DVD.

kettlebells are for real men Rated 10 out of 10

Just by doing 5 sets of each workout such as Turkish get-up,swing,clean, clean and press, and the snatch for as many reps as could really smoked my butt. I would recommend this video to any one.

Conflicts with the book "The Russian Kettlebell Challenge" Rated 8 out of 10

A few years ago I bought the book "The Russian Kettlebell Challenge". In that book it advises you to "dip" your knees when doing a clean or press. In the video it says emphatically not to dip your knees. So which is it?

Also the video could have suggested some exercises routines for beginners.
Tom McCord - North Alabama

price to high Rated 7 out of 10

There's more to KettleBell training than meets the eye... Rated 10 out of 10

If I could I'd recommend it to President Obama. I understand the President likes to workout. He could keep a KettleBell by his desk and do five minutes of Swings in between the massive work of being President.

You need proper instruction before you train. Rated 10 out of 10

I think it is a great training aid. I had watched various training demo's on youtube, and thought I'd just buy a kettlebell and start on my own. The first day I hurt myself. The next day my DVD came in. I watched it and saw exactly what I had done wrong. Lucky for me it only took three trips to the Chiropractor to fix my back. I've been training following what I learned on the DVD ever since. This method certainly works great.
Mike Murphy - Indianapolis, IN USA

A Very Well Produced Excercise Instruction Video Rated 8 out of 10

I got my hands on a set of Kettlebells and figured I'd go as close to the source as possible to learn how to use them properly. I had seen some Pavel books and videos quite a few years ago. I ordered this DVD and they had it to me in a few days which was fantastic. He is still the same Pavel with the dry sense of humor, but the presentation is that much better on this Enter the Kettlebell DVD. He does a great job explaining the movements and keeps it fun and entertaining. My only problem is that he does not lay out enough suggestions on how to put together an actual program or routine with the Kettlebells. Thank God I got my hands on the Enter the Kettlebell book as well, which gives a lot more direction on how to start a routine with the kettlebells. I could have done without the "Making of a Kettlebell" feature. A biography of Pavel and his background training the russion military would have been a lot more entertaining. The bonus video content online would have been nice on the actual DVD as well.

Good intro to Kettlebell basic Rated 8 out of 10

I really like the way all the proper way of handling the kettlebell were perform by the instructor. Everything was easy to follow and everything was explain as you follow along the DVD,ITS A MUST HAVE IF YOU WANT TO BE SAFE AND LEARN THE PROPER WAY.

Functional Strength Rated 9 out of 10

After receiving Pavel's Enter The Kettlebell from Dragon Door I immediately popped it in the DVD player to see how I could improve my kettlebell form and routine. I had been working out with a 35lbs kettlebell for six months and and the info on the DVD really put everything in perspective for me. It teaches you how to execute each move properly, and gives you that eat nails attitude you need when progressing to a kettlebell workout. I am a practical self defense teacher and have always been fit through using free weights and body exercises, but kettlebells put all of that to shame. There is simply nothing out there that even compares to this AK-47 of fitness. My functional strength and cardio went through the roof once I started to do kettlebell workouts mixed with body weight exercises. I have now progressed to a 53lbs kettlebell and at 34 years of age am fitter then most guys in there 20's who workout as well. Thank you Pavel and Dragon Door, next I have my eyes set on a kettlebell workshop to get certified and get my business to the next level!!
Mariano Sore - Vancouver B.C.

Quit Cryin! Rated 10 out of 10

Let's look at what this DVD is supposed to do. Its made to show you in a fluid fashion how to do each of the movements in the usage of the kettlebell, not tell you everything out there possible. The ones that cry because it doesn't suggest how many sets and reps to do, think for that yourself! If you work out, you should know what you can and can't do. The DVD is very much a mimic of the book in both script and movement, but since the kettlebell is a fast acting, all motion tool, I'd suggest this well over the book. This doesn't make the book obsolete, but its almost impossible to truly understand the movements without getting this with it. Highly recommended for beginning kettlebell users and anyone looking to polish up on their technique.
Ryan Foust - Indianapolis, IN

Good instruction, light on material. Rated 5 out of 10

The instruction was good but not enough on technique. For example, preventing the destruction of your forearm during the clean. With only a few lifts covered, each technique should be better clarified.

Forget every other Kettlebell DVD Rated 10 out of 10

I had watched many other instructional kettlebell DVDs which were 'workout' DVDs and which were in their own right very good. However Enter the Kettlebell is the only one with clear consise safe instruction on the use of kettlebells. Perfect for beginners and those who think they know what they are doing! A definate 10/10 and a big thumbs up to Pavel. Dont expect a workout but expect confidence and quicker payoff from your workout. The accompanying book is also great.
Gavin Murphy - Dublin IRELAND

Essential but has problems Rated 6 out of 10

It shows you how to make the basic moves without hurting yourself, however it does not give a good idea of what sets of moves you should start out doing.
I cannot get the disk to work in an XP PC. Autorun does not work, and the instructions on the disk do not match the contents of the disk.

Great Instructional DVD - Wrist Bands No Longer Needed ! Rated 10 out of 10

Your instructional "Enter The Kettle Bell" DVD was Great! I have been swinging Kettle Bells on my own for about a month now, but I always seem to bang my wrists while performing the Snatch. But the DVD's simple demonstration on the correct form has allowed me to improve my mechanics to a very smooth non-banging motion that has enabled me to perform much more Reps. I'm 48 years young and feel myself getting fit & stronger everyday. My only regrets are that I didn't know about Kettle Bells when I was a H.S. Wrestler. I am almost certain that I would of at least made it to my State's Wrestling Finals or maybe even won the title in my weight class if I knew what I know now.

Thank You Comrade !

Becoming a 'man' @ 50! Maybe... Rated 10 out of 10

I learned from Pavel's concise and explicit instruction to use a kettlebell safely. Now that I have used the kettlebell safely, I have been able to increase my strength, flexibility and abiity to perform in ways that relular weight trining, running (marathons) or other diciplines could not get me results I needed. I also needed to produce an environment to 'heal' from 49 years of life.

I had a shoulder injury and persistent lower back pain which led to a severe bout of 'plantar fasciitis' last year. I was off for months and getting fat and dumpy not to mention old, I was 49 at the time. In comes Pavel & Dragondoor.

Long story short, "Enter The Kettlebell" has allowed me to produce and environment where everything is better at 50 years of age than it has been for many years.

By the end of 2008 I will 'practicing' with a 71 lbs. kettlebell, to those who have ears, you know what that means. In Russian standards I could be becoming a man at the age of 50! That must in some ways mean that I still am young!

Thanks Pavel for Enter The Kettlebell DVD! It changed my life!

Rock Solid Intro to Kettlebell Training Rated 10 out of 10

Enter the Kettlebell is a rock solid DVD for anyone getting started with kettlebells and for anyone wanting to review the fundamentals that truly make the kettlebell effective. Pavel's straight up style of teaching with his Russian humor make this DVD a must for anyone serious about quality kettlebell training. He gets to the point and keeps it simple while being focused on quality, safety, and of course, PERFORMANCE! This DVD really helped me to properly train my corporate clients on the kettlebell basics of high-performance fitness. Ron Jones, MS, Corporate Wellcoach

Must-Have DVD Rated 10 out of 10

Great Introduction to the Kettlebell Rated 10 out of 10

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.
Michael Hoffman - Kansas City, MO USA

Hurt my back Rated 7 out of 10

I tried to to the exercises as described, but really caused a lot of pain to my lower back. I'm sure it works well, but a little more specifics on how to avoid injuring your back would be welcome.
Don - Atlanta, GA

Excellent Instruction Rated 10 out of 10

This DVD will surely become a tool for regular review. Pavel's instruction is concise and to the point. It is excellent not only for beginner's, but as a regular checklist for the seasoned pro to keep him or herself in check.
Dee De Moulin - San Diego, CA

Great start to Kettlebell Rated 9 out of 10

This DVD from Pavel is very detailed in instruction. I did what I do with most instructional DVDs. I watched it through completly without even touching the kettlebell and then went back and watched it again with the kettlebell in hand and tried out the exercizes. Like everyone else the 35lb feels alot heavier than a contemporary 35LB dumbbell !!

Pavel gives step by step instruction and moves you along with the basic movements. He stresses saftey and moving at your own pace.

I have been a runner since highschool and have never realy lifted weights. I always have had jobs where I have worked hard and figured that I had enough functional strength. I first lifted weights as rehab for shoulder reconstruction 6 years ago. I am impressed at how much of an all over body workout you get from this. As a runner I am impressed with the cardio workout I get from the kettlebell. I have been working out every day after work for the last 2 weeks and I see improvement already. I realy look forward to working out with this thing. My rest days are on my days off and I look forward to another work week so I can swing the bell for another 5 days!!

The only reason I gave the DVD a 9 instead of a 10 is that the Rite of passage is not on the DVD. I have ordered the book and I am waiting on that to start my ROP. My wife who has been a runner and yoga practiconer for years became interested. I got her a 20lb so she can play as well. I have since ordered the ETK book and the DVD and book "From Russia With Tough Love" for my wife.

Excellent Videol Rated 10 out of 10

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.

Kettlebell +Enter the Kettlebell DVD & book = Results Rated 9 out of 10

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.

Priceless... Rated 10 out of 10

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

Excellent video, a must buy Rated 10 out of 10

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.

Power to the People! for Kettlebells Rated 9 out of 10

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

Top Notch!! Rated 10 out of 10

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.

Goofy, But Informative Rated 8 out of 10

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

Good work, Pavel! Rated 10 out of 10

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!

Kettlebell Training From an Old guy's Point of view ! Rated 10 out of 10

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 .

A DVD of Theory Rated 5 out of 10

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.

Not worth the money Rated 3 out of 10

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.

The DVD is very helpful in understanding the basics. Rated 10 out of 10

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.

Very informative kettlebell DVD Rated 9 out of 10

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.

Enter the Kettlebell Rated 7 out of 10

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".

World Class Fitness Video Rated 10 out of 10

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.

It's even for Pilates and yoga guys [sic]! Rated 9 out of 10

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)

Meat and Potato Strength Training Rated 10 out of 10

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!

Great Service Again! Rated 7 out of 10

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.

Almost Perfect . . . Rated 8 out of 10

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.

Great practical DVD, must-have with your new kettlebells Rated 10 out of 10

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!

As usual, another great gift from Pavel Rated 10 out of 10

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.

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.

Entertaining Entrée to Kettlebell Workout Rated 8 out of 10

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!

Enter the Kettlebell is one of the best excercise instructional videos I've ever purchased. The instructions are clear and straight to the point.

Money well spent! Rated 9 out of 10

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?

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.

Enter the Kettlebell Review Rated 7 out of 10

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.

Fundamentals, Fundamentals, Fundamentals Rated 9 out of 10

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.

Quality instruction Rated 10 out of 10

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.

Useful and Entertaining Rated 10 out of 10

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

I thought I was in GREATshape until I tried Kettlebells............WOW! Rated 10 out of 10

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

Excellent Introductory DVD on Kettlebell Training Rated 10 out of 10

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.

Great for learning the proper technique to using Kettlebells, especially helpful if you don't have access to anyone with knowledge of the subject.

Essential Kettlebells for Dummies Rated 10 out of 10

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.

Coffee or NO coffee - Strength or NO strength Rated 10 out of 10

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.

Enter the Kettlebell-A Great investment! Rated 10 out of 10

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!

Helpful for beginners or experienced KB users Rated 10 out of 10

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.

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.

Can't Have One Without the Other Rated 10 out of 10

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.
