Grassroots Kettlebell League Beginners 5min Kettlebell Competition

Following on from the success of BigKats recent beginners competition we (HKC) will be hosting our own similar event in April.

This will also be a beginners event but seasonned Amateurs and Pros are also welcome. It in all honesty would be great to have some of you down so aspiring kettlebell lifters can see what practice and dedication can acheive. However medals will only be for beginners (ranked below level 1 in OKSE & GSU for example).

This is the first of what will hopefully be many 5 minute Grassroots Kettlebell League Competitions which will be hosted by various gyms across the country to promote Kettlebell Sport at a Grassroots Level.

Scoring will follow a points system allowing you to compete with a kettlebell weight your comfotable with and not have a bunch of medals just for turning up. No default golds here I’m afraid.

There will be 2 weight categories. Overs and unders for both men and women. You can compete in either Jerk, Long Cycle, Snatch or all three. Medals will be awarded for first place and your scores will be added to the league table. We hope other clubs will take up challenge of running Kettlebell Comps under the Grassroots Kettlebell League banner and have a single national league table.

The venue is to be confirmed as HKC HQ is very small, we will update the venue nearer the time once we know the number of lifters attending.
