What is the difference between “hardstyle kettlebell” and “competitive kettlebell”?
Through the promotion and evolution of the Russians, for different purposes, many styles of kettlebell play have been formed in the sports world. But in fact, the most well-known is the competitive kettlebell sport and hardstyle kettlebell style I mentioned above. Other schools are more or less affected by these two schools, and their influence is not worth mentioning.
Hardstyle kettlebell was founded by Russian Pavel Tsatsouline. In order to distinguish it from the GS style, which is a special competitive kettlebell sport, Hardstyle was invented to clearly distinguish the fitness market. From the action point of view, we can feel the difference between the two. Hardstyle’s action style is indeed more “tough”, while GS’s action style is “soft”.
The hardstyle concept originally originated from the kettlebell training method of the Soviet army. In the process of promoting kettlebells in the United States, Pavel integrated the theory and experience of the former Soviet Union and Eastern European power sports into kettlebells. Continuously improve the kettlebell movement technique to form a unique strength training system. In fact, the hard style also has self-weight and barbell content. Because practical experience proves that kettlebells are the best carrier of Hardstyle. It is good enough for ordinary people to train kettlebells.
In the hard-style kettlebell style, there are no competition demands and goals. The kettlebell is just a tool for strengthening the body. Let you use kettlebells to improve your physical fitness, instead of practicing kettlebells for the sake of competition.
