16kg kettlebells and 24kg kettlebells Are Perfect For Training MMA..
In a mixed martial arts (MMA) gym the 16kg kettlebells mainly for high repetition work where i am working improving my stamina over a long period of time.  One exercise in particular i like to do several times a week is sets of kettlebell snatches.  One of the reasons why these are so effective for athletes of all stripes is that you merely switch hands after each set.  This makes sure that your heart stays nice and high and you get the full benefit of the workout.  For guys who do MMA it is great at simulating the prolonged aerobic effort that you will need to throw a variety of kicks and punches.  It also builds up your hips, core, and shoulders and prepares them for the abuse they will take while grappling against the cage or on the ground.
The 24kg kettlebells i use mainly for short bursts to improve whole body strength.  For some of the lighter fighters they also use these kettlebells for two handed exercises such as cleans.  They are perfect for simulating explosive wrestling sequences like throws, trips, double and single-leg takedowns and sprawls.

Build Bursts of Explosion with 16kg kettlebells and 24kg kettlebells..
The burst of full-body strength you need to succeed in these grappling situations can be improved drastically working with 16kg kettlebells and 24kg kettlebells.  Think about how when you stuff a takedown, work for that single-leg, try that judo throw, or try to lock in that kimura, how you use your whole body to try to achieve the goal.  I mean that is basically what the whole Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu thing is all about right?  So then why do we consider lifting weights using a bench press or a curl bar good strength training?  Why do the vast majority of people continue to put their body through machine-based workout for hour after hour working on each muscle group individually?  Why would you train your body to work together, but build strength one muscle at a time?  It doesn’t make any sense.
When you work with kettlebells (specifically the 16kg kettlebells and 24kg kettlebells) you are training your whole body to react at once to accomplish a goal.  When you lift a kettlebell the majority of our routines start with your calves and thighs, transfer the energy through the length of your core up into your chest and shoulders, and finally out through triceps and forearms.  I right away noticed the difference in the power I was able to generate on my roundhouse kicks and punches as well as during my grappling.
