Great Stuff
Perfect for anyone looking to increase their strength specifically for BJJ.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻S&S 3.0
Here you find decades of Pavel's experience and research distilled in a program that will give you high level of strength and conditioning, while leaving you the energy you need to train BJJ. This is a better version of Simple and Sinister
Pavel Strikes Again
Pavel delivers once again. A workout does not need to be complex to deliver tangible benefits. I find kettlebell workouts to be the perfect compliment to jiu jitsu. Swings and get-ups are all you need to keep your body in tip-top shape and prevent imbalance-based injuries.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great on and off the mat
The biggest difference I have noticed is I no longer gasp for air after a roll or feel banged up. Off the mat I ran my PARE in a good time and good vitals afterwards. JC

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Kettlebell StrongFirst by Pavel Tsatsouline
This is my latest purchase and it have proven to be the best one. Following the tenet set by Karl Gotch, "Conditioning is your best hold", this intro to Kettlebell program by Pavel Tsatsouline is a gateway to strength building without the fuss. Striped down to the bare essential, this is going to be my go to program from now on.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great to see this Legend giving us focus workouts
I always heard of Pavel and have his book Enter the Kettlebell and Releax into Strectch. Too me I think this is the build to have. Lean strong muscle with exercises that gets results. This helps on on the mat with your grips and motion and most of all your hips. Dig in Deep and train. It will improve your game imensely.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Simple, effective and fantastic
I've been a fan of Pavel for years, and used Simple and Sinister as my primary conditioning since it was released. This video is exceptional in that seeing the exercises performed really locks in understanding, and the new method is specifically tailored to grappling. I find it remarkable that I've been doing get-ups and swings for years in sets of 5 TGU and 10x10 swings, yet switching to copious get-ups over time and 20x5 swings has made dramatic improvements in my overall strength.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Pavel's work speaks for itself. Best kettlebell training on the market.
The exercises are simple to execute for beginners and the included download recommends weekly routines. great place to start for beginners and advanced students alike!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Au top !
Comme toujours avec Pavel & StrongFirst, le contenu est de qualité. Pas de blabla ni de superflu, mais une méthode complète et progressive pour une préparation physique optimale et non chronophage afin d'optimaliser les performances sur le tapis. A recommander !
Aerobic, alactic and strong
Nice instructional. I have read the Simple and sinister book, this video is a very good complement to show some details and focus on the correct breathing technique, as much as the correct way to train in this methodology.
I purchased the Strong First
I purchased the Strong First audiobook back when Pavel Tsatsouline was on the JRE. Without the visuals I felt something was missing. When BJJ Fanatics released its Kettlebell Strong First title I had to have it. The breathing I hadn’t realized was important and the demonstrations were excellent
This is the peripheral training I've been looking for
This training program is hugely beneficial for grapplers. I don't know how I didn't discover this sooner, but I'm very grateful for this series and for the pdf booklet that comes with it. Highly recommended.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Another excellent product from Pavel
I have been reading Pavel's material for 20 years or so and put off paying for this for a while. After taking the plunge I have to say I am very happy with the material. The combination of video and reading material is good. The explanations are clear as you would expect from Pavel. The program makes sense for those of us who have other physical pursuits outside of lifting kettlebells. The programs are simple and effective. They leave you feeling stronger at the end and not worn down. My shoulders are feeling mobile and strong. The missing star is I would have liked more in the reading material, but I do appreciate that is personal preference. Overall I am very happy with the program.
Kettlebell Strongfirst
Multiple programs defined and explained. Very good videos showing all exercises discussed in fine detail. Defined logical pthways for advancing through the programs. Focus is on using kettlebells to build strength i ways relevant to BJJ.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Grips & Hips'
The overall set up and layout of this lifting instructional was great as each of the segments was filled with great content. It covered varied aspects pertaining to strength & conditioning with kettlebells that can be applied at any level. Worth the purchase.

Wanted to give kettlebells a try and this course was definitely a good purchase. Some exercises were already incorporated after every BJJ session, so I highly recommend it!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Uncompromisingly direct
For those who know Pavel already, this fight-specific program confirms the very high level of his approach and the content he conveys.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Getting old more slowly :grinning_face_with_one_large_and_one_small_eye:
Such a simple and complex way of developing the body. Enables you to train longer and harder, while focusing more on technique.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻very good
it really improved my grappling game
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Good content
Good content from the original kettlebell instructor. Added these to my Mike Mahler collection for a wide variety of training options.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Excellent
Very detailed and thorough - really nails technical aspect of kettlebell training
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Loved it! I have used
Loved it! I have used kettlebells for a while and the video corrected me on a few things and drove home certain aspects to focus on and certain aspects (shoulder exercises) to not push to far due to overuse due to already rigorous BJJ workouts.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Very practical efficient training advice
Very practical efficient training advice for grapplers.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻King of Kettlebell training
Pavel is my go to source for all my kettlebell training. And this program is a great product for the price. Its easy to follow and as always with pavels /strongfirst programming it is simple but not easy. For me that is very important, i dont have to learn 20 different excercises. Just a few and then you are god to go. Try it and feel your body getting stronger and better conditioned all done with just a kettlebell.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Perfect!
This is a great video for anyone looking to learns the fundamentals of kettlebell movements. I highly recommend watching to avoid injury if your new to kettlebells… very informative.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Get strong.
Good stuff.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏼A must have!
As an avid kettlebeller, I really liked this video. It breaks down the basics and mechanics better than anything else I've seen on kettlebells. I'll have to watch it again just to absorb it all. For anyone that's into kettlebells, this is a must buy.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻StrongFirst
The video quality and production value is excellent. The techniques are displayed in a digestible way which allow you to focus on quality of reps over quantity, and the programming is simple enough to follow for beginners to kettlebells.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great instructional!
Great instructional!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Strength training for grapplers. Can't go wrong with Pavel and the StrongFirst team.
I've been following StrongFirst principles and Simple and Sinister since I started training. Once I reached the simple weights, my training partners started taking notice. If you have an interest in kettlebells and how they can improve your grappling look no further. The first program is similar to S&S, but the rep schemes are curtailed towards grapplers. We already take abuse on the mats, why **** yourself in the weight room? This is intelligent programming that doesn't get in the way of your sport.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Excellent instruction!
Excellent instruction!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Very good!
Amazing !! Very well explained and crafted for the grappler who wants to increase both his strenght and conditioning.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great video! Pavel breaks down
Great video! Pavel breaks down everything perfectly. I’m already seeing good results in just a few weeks.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Next level
This stuff really works. "It does exactly what it says on the tin" as the advert goes. I've been training StrongFirst's Simple & Sinister for last couple of years and am definitely stronger and quicker to recover. These videos have added depth to my understanding and given me confidence to push for further development. The variety of programme options gives variety and opportunity to cycle for those who may not click with the honourable simplicity of S&S.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Excellent videos and programming for busy people who cannot afford exhausting training
If you are totally new to kettlebells, those videos are simply top quality, with a very structured approach and a complete package : breathing, mobility drills, progression to learn safely and effectively the needed exercises. If you are not (like me, as an instructor who has participated in many certifications), it is still full of many important details. The breathing part might be the piece you were missing to fully develop powerful swings, over and over again in a single session. Or the way to integrate the right mobility drill at the right moment. Some people have asked if it was only for BJJ practitionners. Well, for sure, it is excellent for BJJ, as it will make you stronger, more powerful and endurant WHILE NOT stealing time and energy from the mat. But the programming is also excellent for anyone who has a busy life and for whom recovery is a concern. At 45, I am still young, but I need to pay more attention to recovery. These programs are simply perfect for me, as it will allow me to continue to train, get stronger, without being overly time-consuming and while leaving me plenty of energy for my life. Yep, I wrote programS, plural, because it is a full package, from beginner to advanced. I know that my training is taken care of for the next 6 months !
