Kettlebell Fundamentals, Deepening Your Get-Up Skills

David is one super strong, super smart and talented teacher. Just watched his "Deepening your Get Up Skills DVD" and was very impressed. His breakdown and troubleshooting of the Get Up was one of the best demonstrations and teaching segments I have ever seen on the subject. What was fascinating to me is how David shows you how the Get Up is essentially a mirror of our natural GAIT pattern and that was a huge "A-HA" moment for me. David teaches the finer details of this ancient movement. Hand, shoulder, T-spine, Head, Neck, Eye, Hip, knee and foot positions are thoroughly covered. So whether you are a total newbie or a seasoned veteran in the Get Up movement, David will teach you how to improve your movements at the most foundational level which will lead to immediate gains in athleticism, function, strength, stability and mobility!!! I highly recommend this products and urge you to take notes and practice along with David as he teaches you this super effective movement! You will learn by "doing" as you watch this DVD!

If you have Kettlebells From the Ground Up, you don't need this DVD. If you don't have KBFTGU, then this might be a good purchase, since the price is much better. But the pricing shows. The sound quality is atrocious, and the lighting leaves much to be desired. The editing makes it apparent this course was shot in a regular seminar, then it was decided to assemble a getup DVD out of it. I know Dave knows his stuff, but there is not much new ground broken here. If you have Gray and Brett's vastly superior getup dvd, that's what I'd recommend. But as I said, if you know nothing about the getup, this is a decent starting point.

I just watched this for the second time. There are some very good nuggets in here. David says, "What is it in an athletes training, that is not being addressed by the swing and TGU?" He talks about the roll up being hip extension, just like a swing and deadlift. His explanation in shortening the X is great stuff. It has helped me with teaching my students. It's all about fundamentals
