Instructional Video for 2-Handed Swing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCn3urDMozs

Similarities between the 2-Handed Swing and the 1-Arm Swing
• Neutral back
• Feet planted
• Shoulders packed
• Kettlebell handle passes above knees in backswing
• Body forms a straight line at top of swing
• Kettlebell forms an extension of arm at top of swing
• Abs and glutes visibly contract at top of swing
• Breathing matches movement

Differences
• More work/more gains: glutes, core, and lats have to work harder to ensure anti-rotation at top and shoulders stay square at top
• Thumb position in backswing

Enjoy!

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
