A form tutorial is exactly what you need when you are first starting with kettlebell training.
I think the reason that follow-along DVDs haven't caught on so much with kettlebell training (at least serious kettlebell training, and not the jillian michaels crowd), is that done properly, the intensity level and focus required is such that you either cannot or will not want to follow along with a dvd. kettlebell training is something where a momentary lapse of attention can be catastrophic.
Additionally the kettlebell is such a simple tool that you only need a small handful of moves for full-body strength and conditioning. In the beginning, you only need two actually. It is not like p90x or whatever where you need to do 20 or 30 different exercises. So I think a DVD routine with a person doing this one single move for 5 minutes, resting a short while, and then doing another single move for 12 minutes, may not be the top seller, although that's the best kettlebell workout there is for beginners.
Skogg system is probably the way to go if you want a follow-on DVD, but really, you're going to get a lot more longevity and training value out of ETK.
Why does Pavel scare you?
