As the name implies, Indian clubs originated in India where they have been used for thousands of years.
They were originally used as a weapon, but in the 13th century it’s thought they were being used as a form of exercise.

The practice of club swinging was adopted by the British military and it quickly spread throughout the rest of Europe, then later the US.

Weight Recommendation	Indian clubs are not heavy, they’re fast. A skipping rope isn’t heavy but they make your feet quick, same with Indian Clubs… they’re not heavy but make your hands fast. Force = mass x acceleration. If you’ve never used Indian clubs before we recommend starting light with a pair of 1lb. They feel heavier when swinging them especially when swung through different planes of motion. Work on the technique first and groove the path before moving onto heavier clubs once you’re proficient.

Indian Clubs Vs Steel Clubs	Although Indian clubs look very similar to steel clubs, they are very different training tools. The much lighter Indian clubs are made from wood or plastic and typically weigh between 0.5lb-3lb. The focus of Indian club training is on mobility, fluidity and speed making them excellent for rehab, prehab, warm ups and improving shoulder mobility. Steel clubs are much heavier and as the name implies, made of steel. They weigh anywhere from 5lb-65lb and are a strength conditioning tool excellent for developing shoulder strength, grip strength, core strength and can be used for conditioning much like any other free weight. If your goal is rehab/prehab and to improve mobility, choose Indian clubs. If your goal is to develop strength, choose steel clubs.
