Is a swing always a good swing ?

I have to write this.
I have been doing Kettlebell training for 4 years know, when i started i thought that i know every thing about training with 22 years of training and competing but a fund out real fast that NO i didnt. So i got humble and started to learn more from people that know stuff.
Now i am learning every day to keep evolving and to get the best knowledge for me and for my clients.

I am seeing a trend in training, Kettlebells are becoming a fitness trend.
People are out there to make money out of the trend, but are they learning how to use the Kettlebell in a way that its suppose to?

A Kettlebell is just a TOOL (a very good tool but still a tool) its not a magic gadget that change you when you touch it =).

A lot of trainers a today showing how to but they dont have the basic knowledge to start with =(
And they are even saying that the Kettlebell is burning 1200 calories an hour? No its not the Kettlebell its the movement of the right Swing/Snatch, the Kettlebell is just the tool to do it with.

A Swing is a Swing, its all in the hips not a squat.



Or like this



And this are not even the worst a have seen on youtube =(
