What is the origin and history of kettlebells?
About 300 years ago, the kettlebell was actually just a weight used in an ancient Russian bazaar. Some people always think that the kettlebell is a stone lock that the Russians copied and imitated China. In fact, it has nothing to do with the stone lock, the kettlebell was only used as a weight at first.
Later, the Russian strong men were keen to use this iron ball weighing with handles for power performances. Kettlebells were gradually accepted by the masses of the fighting nations and evolved into a training tool. It was not until the last tsarist Russia that organized kettlebell clubs appeared. The kettlebell has become a folk sports competition.
In the Soviet era, the embryonic forms of two mainstream kettlebell genres evolved. One is the style of competitive competition prevailing in the Soviet Union. It is the originator of today’s competitive kettlebell sport girevoy sport (GS style). The other is the prototype of a rigid style drilled in the military.
Competitive kettlebell sports are relatively popular in the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries and in Russia today. Competitive kettlebell is a specific special sports event. The winner is the one with the more kettlebell weightlifting within the specified time. Such as 5 minutes and 10 minutes of snatch, clean and jerk, long cycle long cycle (high-flip jerk is one cycle). From a general perspective, the weight used in kettlebell competitions is limited. Therefore, competitive kettlebells will inevitably become a special competition to compete for endurance times.
I have been repeating the same actions continuously, and the viewing is lackluster. This is also the main reason why the project is difficult to promote in other countries. Unless one day enters the Olympics, but this possibility is almost impossible.
