How To Learn Kettlebell Juggling Basics

You can learn kettlebell Juggling anywhere in the world online. Some people are worried about how much it costs and they search on google “How To Learn Kettlebell Juggling Basics” and its benefits.

I could get the same question from many people that “How can I learn kettlebell juggling from you”, “Do you train on ZOOM or how?” I said, “I have a video course, anyone in the world can understand easily by just watching videos”.

Since How Long You’ve Been Juggling The Kettlebell?

A year of experience in Kettlebell Juggling (since October 2019), and also I’m planning to flip with different weights like 24/32kg kettlebell. Right now I flip with 8 to 18 kg (multiple flips).

How To Learn Kettlebell Juggling Basics

Fun Exercises

I call this a fun exercise because it is just like juggling the softball or less weight ball and it is new to many people. They will look like a shocking scene while I flip the kettlebell.

Sometimes the sequence will be very fast with multiple flips & elements and sometimes normal speed with all single flips and it depends on the frame of mind.

We usually think we can flip the kettlebell easily by watching videos on youtube but that may be right to some extent (It means 0.005%, but not that accurate to flip.
There are simple methods to flip a kettlebell

1. Swing
2. Push
3. Grip

Looks very easy and this method is without formula but one needs to understand the trajectory of throws in the right direction just like drawing a diagram on a sheet.

For example, without boxing practice how can one fight with an experienced boxer? The same procedure projects on every sport or game.

What Is Mill In Kettlebell Juggling?

It is a circle, to flip a kettlebell in an archway, first, we have to do 180 degrees bottom half swing (lateral swing) just like a half-circle another word is pendulum lateral swing. Then apply force when the kettlebell is at the end of the bottom half, then leave the kettlebell by pushing the handle so that it can flip in the air for 180 degrees and grab the handle in which direction it goes to complete a circle. This is called mill in kettlebell juggling and you can also add a different element in mills like oblique, simple, simple reverse, mug.
please watch the video here so you can understand it easily.

Which Is The Proper Way To Flip a Kettlebell?

Swing at the shoulder level or above the forehead and then flip a kettlebell, this is the exact way. I have experienced in kettlebell with low flips and that is not good because it won’t be in a pendulum way and it hurts the shoulder. The key focus in kettlebell juggling is using the lower body every time while flipping.

Here, the kettlebell swing is the first exercise to develop flips slowly. The next exercise is squat and combines swing and squat that is squat-swing. This exercise helps the entire body for beginners to the juggling. The next level is a jerk with 16 kg.

What Is Fancy Flow In Kettlebell Flips (Kettlebell Juggling)

How To Do “Between The Leg Flips” And “Under The Leg Flips”?

Swing the kettlebell and throw it towards the back between both legs to flip it and hold it from another hand. This is ‘Between The Leg Flips’.
While doing Lateral swings to flip make sure to lift one of the legs up to flip under the leg and hold on another hand. – ‘Under The Leg Flips’.

All these are theories but you need to do practical to feel the experience.
