There is no way to ‘get-fit’ for fitness. Keeping that in mind we do structure our classes to make every individual comfortable when starting their training – no matter their fitness level or training background. Similarly, the Kettlebell Kickboxing ™ 7 Day Lean, Scorcher Series & Body Series DVDs and programs have many options; including a beginner level, intermediate and advanced. Following along with Kettlebell Kickboxing ™ in class or in your living room has never been easier or more rewarding. Remember Kettlebell Kickboxing ™ has moves for every level of fitness and every goal.
Just as we give modifications for beginners, Kettlebell Kickboxing™ classes and the Scorcher Series DVD’s give options for more advanced, physically fit individuals.
In class every instructor demonstrates between two to five options, starting from beginner and modified motions to intermediate, advanced and super advanced. After dedicating your time to classes you will be able to pick between different motions, always challenging your body to go further and push harder.
Similarly in the Kettlebell Kickboxing™ 7 Day Lean, Scorcher Series & Body Series DVDs had an advanced option in every DVD, so once you have passed beginner and modified motion, you can follow along with the regular intermediate option and then go to advanced.
You need NOTHING to get started! (Not even a pair of sneakers). Just walk in for your first trial class (Your initial class is FREE, as long as it is not combined with any other deals). You do not need to be ‘fit’ for class. You do not need to know kettlebells or martial arts beforehand. We have all of the tools you need so just have comfortable workout clothing with you. You can go barefoot or wear sneakers – and just start training.

For 7 Day Lean you need NOTHING! but a small space in your living room, hotel room, in the park, on the beach – you pick! For the Kettlebell Kickboxing ™ Scorcher Series & Body Series DVDs you’ll need one dumbbell or one kettlebell.
If you never workout start with a 5 or ten pound weight, if you are gym goer use a 10, 12 or 15 pound weight. If you feel physically fit and want a good challenge, use one twenty pound kettlebell or dumbbell.
If you want to offer Kettlebell Kickboxing ™ in your facility, gym, martial arts school or Yoga studio – find out how you can double your student base and create a whole new market, with a system that works and transforms the female body. If you are a personal trainer or fitness class teacher, you can also click on the link below to find an overview of the instructor certification programs that will bring the power of the Kettlebell Kickboxing™ method to you.
As mentioned the 7 Day Lean does not require any weights or equipment. Yes! You can do the entire Kettlebell Kickboxing ™ Scorcher Series & Body Series DVDs with a dumbbell. This way you can get started right away. You also only need one weight, not a set of two. If using a dumbbell, you will simply follow along with one of the girls doing the modifications on Dasha’s left hand side.
This also works well if you are traveling and want to do the DVD in a gym or apartment that has no kettlebells. Remember, Kettlebell Kickboxing™ uses the principles of kettlebell training, but those same motions can be done with a regular weight.
In your live classes and in the DVD’s you can train both barefoot or in sneakers. Traditionally both Muay Thai kickboxing and Kettlebells are trained barefoot, while most fitness classes are done in sneakers – with KB, you can try both.
Keep in mind if you have any foot, ankle or knee issues the correct footwear can help you maintain the structural integrity of your body , minimize impact and potential injury. If you have any physical issues, specifically with your knees or feet, please wear good sneakers.
Many of the classes you see on the website schedule and on the DVD series have various areas of specialty, and although some classes target a little bit more of a specific area (glutes, legs, arms, abs) every class is predominantly a total body workout. First and foremost every class we offer trains each and every muscle in your body, recruits your cardiovascular system and allows you to maximize your calorie burn before and after your training. While the topic classes should be a reference of specific areas, you will always have a total body workout and leave the class or stop the DVD drenched in sweat.
Kettlebell Kickboxing ™ is not a just a cardio or strength program: It is BOTH. You can count the classes and the DVD’s as your cardio session, but keep in mind that you are getting far more than just a calorie burn. As you use the kettlebell and martial motion to get your heart rate up, you are training your cardiovascular system while simultaneously you are also strength training, sculpting and raising your metabolic rate.
No! Due to the structure of the time intervals, the motions and the way they are combined it is highly unlikely. You will ever get bulky. It’s actually simple science: ‘hypertrophy’ of the ‘increase in muscle volume’ is only possible when a person adheres to a basic lifting formula, maxing out their weight at 8-10 repetitions. Because Kettlebell Kickboxing is structured around time intervals, your rounds or motion are ‘total body’ endurance rounds, always allowing you to go past your ten max repetition, therefore allowing the body to lean, tone and sculpt – not bulk.
Kettlebell Kickboxing ™ is NOT a kettlebell class and the Kettlebell Kickboxing™ Scorcher Series, Body Series, 7 Day Lean DVD’s are not strictly kettlebell workouts. Dasha Libin was the first person to use the power lifting and weight distribution ‘total body’ principles of kettlebells to combine those motions with martial arts, creating a unique system that has never existed in any gyms or training principles. Approximately 80% of Dasha’s techniques and moves are Kettlebell Kickboxing™ trademarks which do not exist anywhere else. You will encounter the kettlebell swings and other kettlebell lifts, which Dasha felt were important to keep, but the system is unique and different, providing great results for the female body.
Kettlebell Kickboxing™ is not a kickboxing or Muay thai class. You do not need gloves or hand wraps. You will not be sparring or hitting objects. The use of Kickboxing stand for ‘Martial Art Motion’, using the elements of kicking, punching, knee skips, sprawls, Stand-ups, various stances and other such martial art principles to sculpt out the body. Dasha was the first person to take her martial art experience and combine that with Kettlebells, creating total body trademark motions that allow you to do strength training and cardio, equally and efficiently.
YES! In every class and in our DVD’s we give NON-impact modifications. As long as your doctor has cleared you to take up fitness activities the class will be fine for your knees. Kettlebell Kickboxing™ (classes & DVD’s) are safer then running for prolonged periods of time or doing a plyometric filled routine (common features of calorie scorching routines). There is always a modification for each motion. Additionally Kettlebell motions and martial arts motions used are safe on the knees and are NON-impact.
Kettlebell Kickboxing™ is commonly paired as a cross training method, helping athletes and recreational athletes like marathon runners, triathletes, cross-country skiers and bikers beat their time, enhance their muscular endurance and keep the body agile and fit between their regular training regiments.
We have had countless students help beat their time in marathons, enhance their agility for sport activities and help prevent injury through training. So long as you do not over train, making sure to follow basic training guidelines for your body and your sport, and have good nutrition, then sure – GO FOR IT! Use KB as a method to enhance your body and your sport.
No, at Kettlebell Kickboxing™ we do not believe in diets. We advise all of our students to eat clean and make sure every meal has nutritional value. We do not ask anyone to count calories, restrict food or omit food groups. It is not necessary. You can check out the Lifestyle/ Subscribe to our newsletters for clean eating guidelines, provided by Dasha monthly. If you feel like you need a nutrition education and customized program to go with your workouts we strongly recommend the 7 Day Lean program- which includes a complete nutrition program for vega, vegetarian, gluten free individuals and well as regular diets.
With all of our Kettlebell Kickboxing™ programs a nutritional guidebook will be a part of your package. Again, we simply teach you to make correct choices, basic trade-ins and provide great options. We stand by our words- if you train Kettlebell Kickboxing™ 3x week, you will not need to live on a diet.
As you can see on the pictures and stories in our Success Stories above our case studies are all authentic and have had incredible results, and we are very proud of that, all of the women displayed above are real women that did our program. However, as with anything you should try the program for yourself, as everyone is different and results are not typical and may vary from person to person. It is important to understand that lasting weight- loss, strength and health are typically accomplished through a natural and solid program of both fitness and nutrition- this is exactly why the 7 Day Lean combines both nutrition and fitness in a solid program with beginner, intermediate and advanced options! And why both the Body and Scorcher Series DVDs are a set and a program, not just random workouts.
Dasha’s mom consistently comes to classes and when she cannot, she uses the DVD at home. Similarly so does her aunt and countless other women, of all ages, sizes and backgrounds. You can be fifty or sixty and still use Kettlebell kickboxing™ to get healthy and fit. Studies have proven that strength training is one of the greatest ways to keep the body healthy, strong, injury free and prevent medical issues like osteoporosis, heart issues, diabetes and cancer. Do not let anything hold you back- especially not your age. This workout is for EVERYONE!
There is no such thing as getting in shape to train. GET IN HERE and just do it! GET THE DVD and just do it! We offer modifications and always remind you to train at your own pace, building strength with each sessions. Through time you will see yourself transform- getting healthier, stronger, leaner, faster, more agile, coordinated, less stressed and empowered.
It’s not! We have coed classes and our DVDs are also done by males (who have seen great results). However, we do like to have classes that are female only- mainly for the community and trust it builds. Additionally Dasha’s programs are unique in the way they sculpt and pay attention to many areas that female typically think about- inner thighs, abs, obliques, legs and glutes. The guys in classes or doing the DVDs can simply pick up heavier weights and get the workout in! We promise boys- you will NOT be disappointed! So, i all of our classes and home fitness programs we train as hard as anyone else- male and female. Dasha has maintained a female only class simply because she finds that women sometimes need a sacred space, an environment where they can let their hair down, pull their tank tops up and JUST BE.
Additionally, while the motions are total body, Dasha has created countless ‘female specific’ trademark moves that focus on areas like the inner thighs, upper and lower part of the glutes, the back of the legs, lean abdomens and smaller toned arms.
Let’s face it- men and women both want flat perfect abs, but our idea of perfection differs (men want six packs while women want flat lean abs with slight definition). It is because of this Dasha chosen to focus her system on helping women transform themselves- inside and out.
But do not get it twisted – if your boyfriend or husband does this workout with you – he will be sweating and working just as hard (if not harder)!
