Welcome to the Kettlebell Juggling Ranking Page. Here you’ll find all the details you need to complete the different kettlebell juggling levels, attain ranking, and become a Master of Kettlebell Juggling. (For best results learn how with The Definitive Guide to Kettlebell Juggling 2.0)

You’ll find the current Masters of Kettlebell Juggling and all other rankings by scrolling down past the 20 example videos.

The Rules for Getting Ranked:

• You must upload a public video on Youtube or another video sharing site.

• In this video you must state the level you are going for, and show the weight of the kettlebell. This can be done before or after performing the juggling.

• You must perform the series of movements in accordance to what is shown in the sample video and as it is explained. At the current time I am the sole judge of what counts. (As time goes up there will likely be more clarifications added.)

• The video MUST link back to this page, state in the description the kettlebell juggling level and weight you’re going for and have your name. You can copy and paste the below example, just changing out the level, weight and name as necessary.

• Send an email with the subject line: Kettlebell Juggling Levels with links to the video. You can send them in one at a time as you achieve them, or several links all at once.

Also a note on the difficulty of the levels. You may find higher levels easier then lesser ones. I had to balance between several factors. The skill it takes to do the movements. Plus the strength, conditioning and flexibility required. And lastly between the different weights that may be used. Certain ones will become much harder as the weights go up. Although I believe they’re well laid out in order of progression, the important thing is to master them all.

As for rankings the only kettlebells men can rank on are 16kg, 24kg, 32kg, 40kg. For women it’s 12kg, 16kg, 24kg, 32kg. Practicing with in between weights is good to do, but you can only achieve rank at these weights. You can use any kettlebell as long as it’s the proper weight. You’ll find some levels may be easier with a competition bell as compared to a thicker handle one, and vice versa.

To aid in practice it’s helpful to have these levels with you as you practice them. That’s why I created this two page PDF that lists all the levels which you can download and print.

A thesis is a video and article explaining a new kettlebell juggling move, series of moves, combinations or even new style of kettlebell juggling. This doesn’t have to be long or show a whole bunch, but must be creative and something new. Once again at this time I will be the sole judge of this and will provide feedback to make it better if it doesn’t meet my criteria. I’ll tell you right now a single new move or combination isn’t enough unless it’s really good. Usually you’ll want to come up with one move and several variations or combinations with it. In the video and article teach how it’s done, with the progressions that lead up to the skills if necessary. Send this to me by email at logan@legendarystrength.com with the subject line: Kettlebell Juggling Thesis

The kettlebell juggling flow is just that. It showcases that you can do a variety of moves for some time without dropping the kettlebell at all. This is uploaded online with a similar description as the levels. Here is my example:

You may complete these in any order but all videos must be submitted. When you have successfully passed all six components you will be awarded a Master of Kettlebell Juggling Certificate and be able to claim such.

As a helpful reminder I’ve created these pages you can print out where you can check off your accomplishments.

How to Rank for Kettlebell Juggling​

Because becoming a Master of Kettlebell takes some time to attain, the ranks are available to designate stepping stones along the way and are much easier to hit. This is modeled in concept off of the rankings for kettlebell sport, but is also different in format.

For Rank 1 – This is considered Master of Kettlebell Juggling level
For Rank 2 – Hit Any 30 Levels
For Rank 3 – Hit Any 20 Levels

This means that you can use any weights. For Rank 3 for instance, you could hit 15 levels with the 16kg, 4 with the 24kg, and 1 with the 32kg, for a total of 20 levels achieved. Only at the Master level is there specific levels you must hit with each weight, plus the additional thesis and flow requirements.
