One-arm Swing and Clean Workshop

As the hard style Two-hand Swing is the foundation of effective kettlebell training, the one-arm hard style swing then becomes our first opportunity to build upon that sturdy foundation and progress it further towards more advanced movements.

Not only does the One-arm swing add to the functionality of the swing pattern by allowing us to perform the exercise unilaterally but it also promotes and develops our abdominals to a significant degree as we must then encourage our core musculature to counteract the gravitational forces produced by externally loading only one side of the body.

In addition to the One-arm Swing we will also be breaking down and teaching the kettlebell Clean.

For those now initiated into the ‘Hardstyle’ methodology, you clearly understand the value of our two principal types of lifts, ballistics and grinds. In that regard, the kettlebell Clean is where the magic happens as it showcases the martial mix of relaxation and tension that the hard style system is known for. Not only is the Clean a ballistic movement itself but it is the mechanism in which an athlete may transition from a ballistic into a grind via the front rack position without putting down his or her weapon of strength. The Clean then becomes a means of absorbing and redirecting the explosive force conducted from the hips into an exercise requiring greater amounts of tension such as a squat or a press.

Join us for a 3-hour workshop in which we will breakdown, learn and perform these more advanced movements and fundamental kettlebell lifts safely and efficiently.
