Indian clubs are a fantastic tool for wrist, elbow and shoulder mobility.

They are also a great tool to use as a warm up to lubricate the joints before moving onto traditional strength exercises or as a primer to better groove the path to mimic heaver club movements.

They are designed to be an extension of your arm and help increase range of motion and blood flow.

Made from wood or polyurethane, Indian clubs usually weigh between 0.5kg-1.5kg.

Unlike steel clubs Indian Clubs are not meant to be heavy, they’re meant to be fast. Indian club training is about mobility, speed and fluidity.

The faster you swing a club, the heavier it will feel. The centrifugal force makes the clubs feel much heavier than they are particularly when swung through different planes of movement.

Start slow and break the movements down into segments, then build up speed as you feel more comfortable. If at any stage your form begins to suffer, slow down and start again.

If you’re a beginner to clubs we recommend starting with the 0.5kg or 1kg Indian clubs.
