Holy smokes. An friend loaned this to me last weekend, and just told me to watch it.
It's screamingly funny, and a whip and a collar away from being BDSM.
The drills aren't bad, nor is the instruction, but I cannot see how Pavel kept a straight face throughout the filming. He deliberately affects an accent and a bit of broken english for what can only be, comedic effect.

I thought the book version was actually far more useful than "RKC" or even "ETK" as a first year/second year introduction to kettlebells as a general fitness and conditioning tools. The training schedules, selection of exercises, and instruction were far better than Pavel's first book, and far more appealing than RKC.
I have to agree about the video.

I agree. I recommended the book (and video, for that matter) to both male and female clients when I used to teach back in the day. MUCH clearer than RKC.Abandoned by Wolves wrote:I thought the book version was actually far more useful than "RKC" or even "ETK" as a first year/second year introduction to kettlebells as a general fitness and conditioning tools.
