UKKA Sponsors.

 

The UKKA was established in 2003 to promote Safe and Effective Kettlebell Training© due to the increasing interest in an old fashioned way of keeping fit, and is the longest running Kettlebell Organisation in the UK. Kettlebells were lifted by the European Royals of yesteryear because they understood the ‘complete’ benefits they gave – a ‘total body workout’ that incorporates CV fitness, Strength, Speed, Stability and Flexibility all in one.
