My first time shooting shotgun slugs the recoil felt like I had swung a kettlebell into my face.

Is that allowed?

I do believe that it is every 30 sec for single program and every minute for the double program. But, yes it would be nice to clarify @Mikeperry
Plan A and B are every :30. These are single bells
Plans 2a and 2b are doubles every minute.
when you see 6-12 rm, that is the kettlebell weight, not reps. Follow the prescribed reps

1 Rep for :30, switching arms every set, at:
1:00 - 1 Left and 1 Right
2:00 - 2 Left and 2 Right
........
10:00 - 10 left and 10 Right
---------
20:00 - 20 Left and 20 Right
...........
30:00 - 15 Left and 15 Right (error indicated in Program)
There are similar errors through-out pages 15 and 16
1:00 - 1 Left and 1 Right
2:00 - 2 Left and 2 Right
........
10:00 - 10 left and 10 Right

@Mikeperry : why don‘t you clarify on this one? I guess the pdf must be corrected.

That takes it down to, what, 60-odd bucks?

For anyone who is interested: The videos are very well done and have a lot of useful information. I started the single arm C&J program and am a fan of it. In my opinion it is worth purchasing especially for someone who does not have a lot time to train.

There's a separate Clean & Jerk Program? I thought the C&J, Swing and TGU were all part of the same program, and there were Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced versions of it?

Does anyone know what rep/weight maxes are recommended for the programs? I don't want to buy it and then realise I need to buy new kettlebells as well.

There is advanced swing and getup, or you can branch into C&J. Beginner practice is swings and getups, beginner and intermediate training is swings and getups (with C&J practice). If you are at/in Timeless Simple you could probably just start practicing C&J for a bit, and then try the C&J program (really a template/approach; it’s not a “do these sets of these reps on this day” thing).

I think you can buy the program safely, the weight to use is 6-12 RM. It's a very wide range, so you could easily have the right Kettlebell to use.

Since this program is for bjj/fighters which pretty much means weight specific classes, sticking to s&s with my little add ins (farmers walks and double high rep kettlebell deadlifts twice a week ala ROTK) would put a little more meat on my bones.

Ok guys, huge honor for me... here's my take on it.
I purchased it out of principle, supporting one's colleagues and an organization one believes in as much as I can (I actually have both versions of S&S in all 3 formats), and I'm not at all disappointed in the content. Like what was mentioned, the production quality was top-notch--video, sound, setting, editing they all seem professionally done. (For anyone who has created anything, you'll know that there are many ways to cut corners to keep costs down. This was obviously done in a few BJJFanatics products. The content might be superb, but the packaging makes it difficult to consume. That is not the case with this one.)
The product is comprised of about 2.5 hours of instructional material that reminds me of the old Enter the Kettlebell video, with @Pavel talking about training principles and execution, with his signature dry humor and poking fun at "cute, cushy shoes." However now we have @Mikeperry and @John Spezzano demonstrating. The Get-Up section is covered extensively by Mike, and I picked up quite a few details that I'm actually going to start practicing. Unlike ETKB, they all have their shirts on.
Here is the back cover from the product site:
The attached downloadable Portable Document Format file reiterates the training and safety principles, then goes into programming. It goes from Swings, Squats, and Get-ups, then to Long Cycle (single then double). All in all it feels like a more specific version of the StrongFirst Kettlebell course, where it allows you to train yourself for a while just by following instructions. Much like everything StrongFirst, it's simple and straight to the point--only 24 pages.
All-in-all, I'd recommend it. $97 might sound steep to some for an instructional video and program, but the thing about BJJFanatics is that there's always a discount code somewhere and it's actually closer to $65 (or less in a sale). Could you get all the info here openly-sourced? I'm sure you could ,through this site alone. The blog has countless programs you could follow for the next decade if you take the time to look, and the instructors in the forums are always ready to help out. But what appeals to me here is that it lays it all down for me, packed, arranged, and idiot-proof. (For those who have read Enter the Kettlebell, you know what I mean. ?) I have poor decision-making skills, and would rather use my limited resources on something else. So to me it was either this ("We have coffee") or Simple & Sinister ("We are out of coffee").
Enjoy the pain!

Constant safety and awareness, breath control, feed-forward tension, posture and weight distribution, among other things. Also the teaching principles apply to a lot of things in general.
I mean it is, but I moved up in kettlebell size for my testing requirements. ?
You eventually work up to 2 'bells that are approximately 40% BW.Does anyone know what rep/weight maxes are recommended for the programs? I don't want to buy it and then realise I need to buy new kettlebells as well.
