When we ask ourselves the question „where does the kettlebell come from“, we usually do a simple search on the internet. In most cases, we usually find the same "origin myths":
1. In the early 1700s the word kettlebell (or Gyria) appeared in Russian dictionaries as a training tool.
2. Russian farmers used their scale weights to swing them around; eventually leading to the development of modern kettlebell training.
3. The original and most significant techniques come from Russia.
4. The kettlebell subsequently became the secret weapon of Russian wrestlers, soldiers and special units - while the West seemed to be completely oblivious of their existence.
5. The greatest number of kettlebell exercises were invented in the last 20 years.
Unfortunately, most of these notions, already established in the collective thought, do not completely align with documents, evidence and history.. and that is what we will discover in this video.

Gregory very interesting and informative video. Have been following your channel for several months and really enjoy your videos. Have you done a critique on Coach Vaughn or Rik Brown? I've been using kettlebells since 2002 and two years ago a friend asked me if I've ever used any mace workouts and I had not, but after looking into mace training, I bought two and they work well with kettlebells. Both men mentioned above are mace coaches and they are both kettlebell coaches. Rik Brown gives a lot of credit to Steve Cotter for his coaching after spending time with him. Coach Vaughn has a book on Amazon entitled The Kettlebell Awaits. After viewing some of their for kettlebells and mace training, I would be interested in your view of both coaches.

Gregory, thank you for the awesome video. Interesting, informative, and the production & editing are on-point. It's clear that you've put lots of efforts into it. However, one question remains in my mind - what about all of those stories about the "girya" appearing in Russian dictionaries in the 1700s? Are they false? If they're true, than they talk about a period that predates all the names you mentioned. I wonder whether there are Russian historians that could further enlighten us on the matter.

If this is not considered, treated and respected as a definitive video guide of the history of the kettlebell (and an incredibly efficient crash course on modern weight lifting) now, I will predict it will be in the near future as humanity starts to look for efficient, cost and time effective ways to optimize their strength and physiques while separating the non-sense on youtube from extremely insightful and entertaining videos like this one. Anybody can tell a lot of thought was put into this video and execution. Great work my friend 🎉🎊🍾🙌🏼🙌🏼

I am cool with a lot, but attributing some secret insight and then saying science came to the same conclusion is a bit iffy. Its in the same ballpark as claiming religious texts talk about quantum science. Dont put people on a pedastol. And dont build them one. The man claimed something, and now we know more because we've had the time to research. Otherwise fun video :) it shows a cool international team efford :p
