Heavy Club Swinging for Beginners

Heavy clubs have had their renewal. Historically almost every Asian culture has had some variation of heavy club swinging. Using levers and unevenly loaded tools for weight training has always been the case until dumbbells and barbells were invented. Heavy clubs work the entire body in almost every movement. This makes every session of training a full body workout.

In this course you will learn the basic movements of heavy club swinging using two hands to move the equipment. As you progress with heavy club swinging you will get better with your two handed movements and gradually learn one handed movements with heavy clubs.

Beginners start with an 8kg club. If you have some weight training experience in the past then consider a 10kg or even a 12kg club. There is no ego lifting in heavy club swinging. These are fundamentally still weapons and using them incorrectly can cause injury.

In this course you will learn some advance movements as well such as flag staffs and kneeling flows. However, approach these movements only once you have mastered the previous fundamentals.

Do not proceed to next lesson unless you have learned and practiced the previous fundamental routines. They are critical to building strength in heavy club swinging.
