Top 3 Kettlebell Exercises for BJJ?
“A Kettlebell Training for BJJ Video Post by Jason C. Brown…”
There are many kettlebell exercises that are great for BJJ (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.) When training our BJJ players and other combat athletes I seperate their training into 3 phases:
- General Physical Training
- Directed Physical Training
- Specific or Specialized Physical Training
I will go into detail for each one of these phases in a future post but the below kettlebell exercises fall into the catagory of Directed Physical Training because they are directed at improving a certain phsical attribute needed in BJJ.
Directed Physical Training may consist of elements that are both general and more sport- specific. The muscle groups and energy systems involved will be more similar to the actual sport skill while maintaining its own distinct flavor.
Movement mechanics and speed might be closer to the actual sport skill as well.
Below are 3 of my favorite Kettlebell Exercises for BJJ.

awesome as usual coach brown.thanks,but,i counted 2 exercises.they rock though.
my bad coach.i somehoh missed the bent1.dunca shane again!
I have done high rep cleans quite a bit—if you have an old rotator cuff problem that flares up on occasion, or tendinitis, etc., high rep cleans are a good snatch alternative for cardio. I have never done “The Gorilla” before, but played with it right after I saw the vid, pretty awesome drill. I am glad to be reminded how great an exercie that the bent press is.
Thanks Jonmarc! I’ll be expanding on these kettlebell training exercises for BJJ later next week. I received a lot of emails asking to go into greater detail.
Please check back.
Hey Mike,
Thanks for your input! I like the Gorilla Clean because it feels like pummeling and it’s a killer on the heartrate.
