Il Maestro Pai Mei by AndreaHaine

So the other day I’m explaining to one of my beginner students about maintaining a straight wrist by diagonally gripping the kettlebell when pressing it. After demonstrating this with a lighter kettlebell for the purpose of practice I then watched him press it. What did he do? Immediately he did exactly what I told him NOT to do.

He gripped the bell horizontal at the handle instead of diagonally which in turn caused his wrist to break back and he immediately started feeling pain at the forearm. I quickly made some adjustments with some simple coaching cues and he was able to correct it. I just looked at him and asked “Is that how I showed you?” and he replied “No.” You can imagine my next response. 😉
