What weight Indian club should I use?
Indian clubs are not heavy, they’re fast. If your Indian club is too heavy you’ll sacrifice speed. Start light with a pair 1lb or 2lb clubs and master the movements properly. Then, once you have you proficient technique, move up to the 3lb clubs.
What muscles do Indian clubs work?
Indian clubs strengthen your shoulders, back, pecs, triceps, biceps and forearm flexors.
What are Indian clubs used for?
Indian clubs are used for performing fast swinging circular movements that help improve shoulder mobility and stability, increase elbow and wrist flexibility, and help repair connective tissue, ligaments and tendons.
Where did Indian clubs originate?
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.
During the 17th century the British colonised India and observed the local Indian wrestlers training with clubs.
The practice of club swinging was adopted by the British military and it quickly spread throughout the rest of Europe, then later the US.
Do Indian clubs build strength?
Indian clubs improve strength, mobility and stability of the wrists, elbows and shoulders which increases your body’s ability to resist injury.
Should I oil my Indian Clubs?
All of our bamboo clubs come sealed with a silk varnish finish, so there’s no need to oil them. This protective coating already does the job of preserving the wood.

I love these clubs. Very clean look, balanced, and just fun to use. I have several other more expensive wooden and steel clubs, I make sure to use these in all my workouts. Highly recommend them and eagerly awaiting the 9’lbs version if they decide to make them.

Very useful for shoulder work. I deal with previous rotator cuff surgery and currently have arthritis on both sides. (70+ years old, lots of mileage). Simple exercises help both mobility and strengthening. Well made product, well worth it.

These are great. I’m just beginning so the 1 lb. weight is perfect. Also, I’m pleased that these are made of wood.

Absolutely love the clubs! Yes, these bamboo clubs are very well made, and so much larger, almost comically, as compared to my well used pairs of oak / maple Indian clubs that I have in one, two, three and five pounders. These six pounders do however swing very nicely once you get used to them, and will most definitely have a place in my collection. I consider them sort of in between where my smaller Indian clubs end and my heavier steel clubs and wood mugdhars begin…
