I am a female in late 20, and I have been training with a trainer past few months. He recommended Steve Cotter videos. After enjoying his free sample videos, I purchases this whole set. I bought this from Amazon Marketplace seller MMA-DVDs at $79 NEW. (Ordered on Wednesday, and received on Monday.)
I watched many KettleBell instruction videos online, and I found Steve Cotter the clearest.
He goes over all the important details without a trace of condescending or arrogance.
He is very thorough. He goes over every possible variation, and every possible safety issues. (I am a physicist and I can ensure that his mechanics is correct.)
The most introductory and clearest one of his video is here, [...]
"Kettlebell Basics with Steve Cotter
Learn proper kettlebell technique. Steve Cotter stops by UW to show us four basic kettlebell movements. The Kettlebell Swing The Single-Arm Kettlebell Swing The Kettlebell Clean The Kettlebell Lockout "
And then this website has a sample from every single chapter of this DVD set.

He is more instructional than others. He is down to earth. He is less about showing off his skills, and more about sharing his knowledge with us.
Some KettleBellers are fitness genius and watching their videos don't tell me how/whether I can get there (or get any closer). Steve is a fitness genius and also a TEACHING GENIUS.
Steve breaks a big goal into many smaller steps to follow. Having this DVD is like having a GPS navigator for your cross country journey. (Some other DVDs by other people may feel like a compass, just pointing the goal but not necessarily the instructions.)
Every penny well worth spent on this DVD!
* It's nice and inspirational to have Valery Fedorenko appearing in the DVD, too.
** I like Pavel Tsatsouline, and I plan on buying KettleBells (and some DVDs) from his company Dragon Door. I benefited hugely from Pavel's Enter the KettleBell book. Even if you love Pavel, this DVD set of Steve is a must-have. Steve is systematic, clear, organized, and thorough. I wasn't particularly impressed with how Pavel explains (body) mechanics, but Steve is really competent in explaining relevant physics. I also felt I can relate to Steve better. My theory is that: for Pavel, Kettlebell is an instinct, but for Steve, he earned it hard. Steve knows how to think from our point of view: our lives didn't start with kettlebell lifting. :-) His martial arts background is also very helpful, because he has a broad view on these various exercise schemes. Pavel is more for elites I felt, or someone who is already familiar.
Both Pavel and Steve are great, and buy Steve's DVD set and buy Kettlebells from Dragon Door
See why Dragon Door KettleBells are great
