I have not seen Cotter's encyclopedias. The ones I have are his FullKOntact videos. I've heard good things about the encyclopedias, but if I created any impression that I have seen them, I apologize.

I haven't seen the DVD's you're talking about. The four I have seen are the original RKC DVD, the follow-up (Red cover, forget the name, but it's not the ETK one), one you can download online from a guy named Andrey who is a very nice Russian guy who does girevoy sport, a kettlebell lifting sport; and Cotters's two FullKOntact videos.

Hope you enjoy the KB's! Most everyone seems to. Start slow and master flipping the bell over so it gets really smooth and doesn't bang the hell out of your arm. Give us a trip report!
