The Swing: Foundation of Kettlebell Training
The ‘Swing’ provides an amazing level of conditioning
and teaches you principles vital to kettlebell
training. It is phenomenal at building connective
strength and a high level of endurance simultaneously.

The Clean
The ‘Clean’ Is more technical then the ‘Swing’ and
is mainly used in conjunction with ‘Jerks’. The end position of the clean is called the ‘Rack’ and is used
as a rest position or shelf for over-head lifting. The ‘Clean’ prepares you for some of the mechanics found in the Kettlebell ‘Snatch’. ‘Cleans’, used in conjunction with ‘Jerks’ provide an amazing athletic conditioning platform..

The Jerk: Staple of Kettlebell Overhead Lifting
The ‘Jerk’ teaches you how to generate power in a vertical direction. Jerks develop the flexibility, strength and health of the shoulders, upper torso and core. Done correctly, it is a great exercise for those with rotator-cuff injury. Combined with ‘Cleans’ it becomes a world-class format for strength and conditioning.

The Snatch: Czar of Kettlebell lifts
It builds on all previous lifts and houses all of their benefits and more. This lift is done for high repetitions, over a duration of time and is an extreme platform for learning how to produce, reduce and redirect force. The ‘Snatch’ forges strong legs, shoulders and arms, a powerful back and core and a solid grip. The ‘Snatch’ teaches the body to work as one unit through extreme ranges of motion building an incredible level of work capacity.
