I have been lifting kettlebells for about 5 years now and still don't know what is the best method to train with. To me all the organizations if you follow one, will do you no wrong. however each one does not have all the answers. many of the major instructors have attended at least two or more certifications, leading me to believe, that no one kettlebell organization has all the answers. Beyond that there is some bad mouthing by the major kettlebell master instructors only confuses new people who want to learn kettlebell fitness. Even in Russia kettlebell lifting is lesser know than here in the US, but if you listen to the kettlebell instructors, you would think that they are as popular a vodka.

The way I look at it kettlebells are a good strength endurance tool as with club bells, battling ropes, chains, sleds, stretch bands, dumbbells, barbells, etc. I use all of those, and many other techniques such as body weight, running, rowing, boxing, biking to be a complete fitness program. Bottom line, Kettlebells may be a favorite fitness tool, but it is far from having exclusive control of my program.

Have a great day suffering and remember the mission is sacred.
