Indian clubs for HEMA and historical fencing
This Indian clubs for HEMA video course teaches you the most relevant club exercises to assist your practice, and improve your physical conditioning at the same time. Many of the club exercises are also great to balance strength and mobility on both sides of the body, not solely on your leading arm.
We keep things simple enough so that you can easily follow the tutorials, and apply the instruction from day 1.
The wide variety of exercises has you moving and swinging in different planes of motion, and not just the typical swing to the side of the body.
We do not use the traditional British military stance in our video tutorials, but a more natural training stance. A rigid stance is counter productive to the fighting applications of club swinging. You need to move fast in and out, and use your hips to generate full body power from the ground up.

Jason Hulott –
I have used Indian Clubs for HEMA to help with improving my flexibility and shoulder health. Its great for historical nerds like me as we have documentary evidence of Indian club exercises being used by the British Army during the early 1900s as well as Indian use for thousands of years.
I can highly recommend this course as well as the Pahlavandles to get you started training quickly and at a low cost at home.
