As Seen In
From Gregory Dzemaili – Master Of Sport (IKO)
Switzerland, on a sunny day
Dear aspiring kettlebell coach,
I’m Gregory, and I want to share how kettlebells truly changed my path.
Like you, I didn’t start as an expert.
I was a certified gym instructor, worked the gym floor for over three years, and honestly thought I had kettlebells figured out.
I treated them like odd shaped dumbbells and assumed I already knew enough.
Then I discovered Steve Cotter.
That was a rude awakening.
Suddenly, even a 16 kg kettlebell exposed how little I actually understood.
So I did what mattered.
I saved the money, invited Steve to Switzerland in June 2019, and trained under the IKFF president himself.
That moment changed everything!
Certification day is burned into my memory.
40 Jerk with 2×20 kg.
100 Snatch with a 20 kg bell.
At rep 36, I lost balance.
“No count!” Steve shouted.
I wanted to quit!
But my now wife Angie, who was my girlfriend at the time, screamed encouragement…
Steve reminded me to use fast legs…
And somehow I finished!
Bloody hands, bruises, and a scar I still wear with pride.
Yet after all that, I ran into a hard truth.
I was skilled.
I was confident.
But I still didn’t know how to teach kettlebells to real clients.
Especially beginners over 40.
People who had never touched a kettlebell or lifted weights at all.
That gap frustrated me and countless other coaches worldwide.
Most certifications focus on performance, not teaching.
Heavy weights, rigid systems, tribal camps: Hardstyle vs. Sport.
Real people don’t care about or fit into any of that.
I owe everything to my Sensei, Steve Cotter.
We all stand on the shoulders of giants.
What I’ve built is not a rejection of that legacy, but its continuation.
This is the torch being passed forward.
And this rings especially true, after Sensei Steve passed away from a sudden heart attack in 2025…
From that journey, I developed what I call the Hybrid Style.
And that system serves as the framework for creating HYKE, the Hybrid Kettlebell Education.
Whether you’re a seasoned coach or just starting out, if becoming a world class kettlebell coach resonates with you, you’re in the right place.
The system I teach helped me take my business to the next level, become a Master of Sport in Snatch (IKO approved), and a leading voice in the kettlebell sphere.
