Kettlebell Training for BJJ

Here’s a quick little video workout from my “Kettlebell Training for BJJ” course.

Ideally you would run this this sequence seveal times.

To make it more difficult:

• Use a heavier Kettlebell
• Increase the distance for each kettlebell & bodyweight exercise
• Time yourself, then work to decrease your time using the same distance and kettlebell
• Count the numbers of reps for the kettlebell swings and bodyweight exercises taht you can complete within a set distance, work to increase the numbers of reps you can complete with that same distance. The sit-throughs are perfect for this. Swings no so good.
• Likewise, decrease the number of reps it takes you to complete the distance, in essence working through a longer range of motion. The floor rows/pull-ups are perfect for this.

To make it a bit easier:

• Use a lighter kettlebell
• Decrease the total distance used for each kettlebell and bodyweight exercise
• Take some rest between each exercise instead of moving directly into the next exercise. Active recovery would be your best option. Keep moving.
• Listen to some kick-ass tunes. Never underestimate the power of some kick-ass tunes!

More Kettlebell Training Inspiration!

A few weeks ago I posted a video of Pamela MacElree Snatching a 32kg Kettlebell 10 times on her right and 7 times on her left.

In the meantime Pamela had a BJJ competition but that hasn’t stopped her from moving ahaed on her kettlebell Training Goals.

Watch the video below to see her progress. I think she’ll make 20R20L very soon.
