 Kettlebells - the modern Ishi sashi alternative

Kettlebells are a good alternative to Ishi sashi's, and work well with all Ishisashi techniques. They can be found at a large retail store (chain) in Australia for a very reasonable price and also at several online stores at a much higher cost. Kettlebells are available in many different weight categories, 3.4kg, 4.5kg, 6.5 kg to 40+kg. To find suppliers just enter "kettlebell" into your favourite search engine.
