Kettlebells: Can They Help Daniel Bryan's Submission Holds?

By Rob Sutter


If you want to have a discussion about submission holds and how specific wrestlers lock them in, Daniel Bryan may be the toughest one to note. It almost looks like the scrappy contender can cinch in a move from just about any spot, which is astounding. The game can change at the drop of a hat thanks to his propensity to lock in different holds and I don't think many people can say differently on the matter. Can kettlebells work to help Bryan further though?

Even though the LeBell Lock stands as Bryan's finishing technique, there are others which he's able to use in order to take down foes. For instance, the guillotine choke is able to bring down an adversary of any size and once the clasp is tight, very few people manage to break out of it. In addition, his technical expertise is second to none, able to hold his own with just about anyone, regardless of how long they've been in wrestling. His skills lie largely in wrestling, which he is great at.

However, what happens if he needs to add a bit more strength to his moves? I don't know how known Bryan may be in terms of strength, which is why I recommend kettlebells are put into effect. They can help the body as a whole, of course, but the idea of strength-building is something which I believe can be attributed to any and all weights. Authorities on the matter like Lorna will be able to tell you just how invaluable they are compared to standard free weights.

For someone who is on the road constantly like Bryan, these weights are especially useful. I say this because they are compact and allow just about anyone to take them on the road. For instance, if you want to keep a set at home while retaining a set at your place of work just as easily, you can do that with the utmost ease. It's another feature that will endear anyone to these weights, regardless of the limited time they spend at home.

In order to make his game even more deathly, I don't know if Bryan can make a better call than kettlebells. Submission maneuvers are all part of his offense and if he's not able to apply them with the utmost efficacy, his matches are about as good as lost. I think that the inserted amount of strength and elasticity can only help him to lock in moves better. Who's to say that he can't win matches at a swifter pace in the process, either?
