I looking to buy some of Scott Sonnon's stuff but found his attitude on his forum to be that of a dick head...... Is there anyother stuff out there that is better for example Kettlebells or routines others have tried.......

Sonnon doesn't do kettlebells I don't think. I absolutely HATE his writing style. He practicaly has his own made up language.

Scott's a bit odd but he is quite good.

Pavel Tsatsouline has quite a few DVD's on them as well.

Why are you leaning towards the bells as opposed to the clubs?

To be honest I am still reading up on both and the possibility of the bells is due to the reports I have read from other martial artists and how they have benefited them.......The clubs seem to be all about Scott and how you have to believe is and his words only.......

I just happened to come across this today... Apparently he won something or other.

I wasn't impressed to be honest and in regards to his work he promotes, it just seemed to me like a Mauy Thai bout, to be honest. I would be more impressed if he went in the UFC......

I do a lot of Pavel Tsatsouline stuff and think I will look at his stuff on Kettlebells......

His standup is average in that clip. Nothing wrong with being average...unless you sell videos on "fisticuffs"...

I think if Sonnon went against a good boxer he would be knocked out, to me if your going to produce a DVD Titled, Fisticuffs. Then to me you need to be able to box or punch........

To me it was a bit of propaganda to sell his DVD'S and his idea of training......

Now, if had done that against a highly ranked UFC/Pride Fighter then I would be impressed and possibly consider forgetting about his self-interest attitude and buy the thing.......

From my research that I have done today, I have read that Rodney Kings Street Boxing would be better.......

I've used the clubs for over 20 years, long before I had ever heard of Scott.

Ask anyone who has them.

If you pick up a lighter weight pair, you won't regret it.
