The
North American Kettlebell Federation (NAKF) is a nonprofit organization
that exists to promote Girevoy Sport (GS) in North America.
As you might expect, GS started in Russia. It consists of the two Olympic lifts -- the jerk and the snatch -- performed for reps within 10 min.
Do not allow the simplicity of this sport fool you. This is the most challenging test of strength-endurance in sports, period.
We have a team of US athletes who compete internationally as well. There is also a Masters team, so you can't say, "I'm too old."
If you are interested in competing, hosting an event or earning a spot on the international team, stick around and explore this website. All the info is here.
