Dynamo Kettlebells Concepts: Martial Arts Training... with Kettlebells!

“DYNAMO KETTLEBELLS CONCEPTS”? WHAT’S THAT?
It is a form of specialized strength training that you can use to make your martial arts/combat sports-specific movements more powerful.



HOW DOES IT DIFFER FROM ‘CONVENTIONAL’ KETTLEBELLS TRAINING?
The most popular forms of kettlebells training out there offer what is known as General Physical Preparation (GPP), i.e. they increase the body’s capacity for work (especially strength endurance) regardless of the specific activity one wants to become better at. Other methods of training for GPP are running, rope skipping, weight-lifting, calisthenics, etc.

If you think of your body as a car, GPP methods mostly increase the horsepower of the engine and the size of your tank. On the other side, specialized strength training methods, such as the Dynamo Kettlebells Concepts, improve the way your car can apply the power on the road – we could say that they improve the grip of the tires, handling and cornering, the mechanics of the car, but also the skills of the driver!

In a few words: GPP improves your strength, your power and your endurance, but can also address possible muscular imbalances in your body (lack of mobility, stability, etc). The Dynamo Kettlebells Concepts use those improved motor abilities and apply them in specific key-movements of martial arts and combat sports, so that you can become better at them.

CAN THE DYNAMO KETTLEBELLS CONCEPTS REPLACE GENERAL PHYSICAL PREPARATION?
No, they can NOT. The Dynamo exercises and drills should be used in combination with other training methods of physical preparation in the context of a periodized program. In order to put the Dynamo Kettlebells Concepts to good use, you need to have worked on your GPP before.

If you already have a conditioning coach who is helping you with GPP, that is great - the Dynamo Kettlebells Concepts will be an excellent addition to your training. If you don't have one, and you wish to improve your GPP, the Dynamo Strength and Conditioning Concepts will bring you where you need to be physically.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF PRACTICING/TRAINING AT THE DYNAMO KETTLEBELLS CONCEPTS?
A dramatic increase in punching power is the most obvious benefit, but also your footwork, evasion and head movement, rhythm, timing, flow and efficiency of movement (more work done with less effort) will be significantly improved.
