I addressed this yesterday in the last post aimed at Kettlebell Beginners and hope you got the message.

But on top of that, all kettlebell juggling moves are based on a few fundamentals. Nothing is more fundamental than the regular kettlebell flip. You get that and every other move is just built right on top of it.

In the spirit of that here’s a video that will give you the steps necessary to master your first two-handed flip. From there you can move on to a one hand kettlebell flip.

The swing is the basis of the flip which is the basis of all kettlebell juggling. Learn it and learn it well.

How to do your first kettlebell flip video

If you give it a try I guarantee you will be able to pull this move off in one day. In fact, it probably won’t take more than half an hour at most for you to do it with ease.

This is a bit of footage from the actual Definitive Guide to Kettlebell Juggling (of course, its lower quality here online). If you want more you know what to do

You see, ALL kettlebell juggling has its foundation in the basic swing movement. Even the more complex moves, going to the sides, etc. is all moved by the hips and the rest of the body. The arms and hands are just used to guide the bell where you want it to go.

If your swing is not great, you really shouldn’t begin juggling kettlebells. I choose not to cover this basic move in my DVD’s because so many other products do. And they do it well. Make no mistake about it The Definitive Guide to Kettlebell Juggling is not for kettlebell beginners. You should have at least a couple months experience under your belt before starting juggling.

If you don’t have much experience with kettlebells I recommend you start with Pavel’s Enter the Kettlebell. Both the book and DVD are great though I’d get the DVD if nothing else so you can really learn,understand and practice this move.

I can’t be strong enough on this point. You must have a good swing BEFORE you begin juggling kettlebells. Because of the nature of the dynamic moves you don’t want to have to worry about your form. It should be automatic.

You can get started with Enter the Kettlebell, any other number of great kettlebell produtcs, or best of all, seek out a qualified instructor in your area and they’ll have you swinging like a pro in not time.

Secondly, I want to address the kettlebells themselves.

If you’re interested in kettlebell juggling you probably already own a few kettlebells. Whatever you have is great and will work. But if you don’t and what to find out which kettlebells I recommend most for juggling click on the ‘Get Kettlebells‘ page.

Alright, that’s enough for today. In the next post we will really begin, starting with your first flip…
