INDIAN CLUB WORKOUTS | HANUMAN SERIES
Each volume of the Hanuman series delivers great Indian club workouts that will keep you busy for weeks.
Single club training is perfect for people with limited experience with Indian clubs, as it is easier to learn, and offers the seasoned practitioner plenty of challenges.
The Hanuman workout series leaves all the guesswork out of your training. After you have gone over the safety aspects and studied the exercises tutorials, are ready to train!
We have included 2 different training templates: one for home training with focus on longevity and health, and one for group training instructors who run HIIT classes.
Each of the 4 training levels for the home training template has been filmed in full length. Watch the exercise tutorials to get a feeling for the exercises. Then follow the instructions about how to design your training cycle, press play, and you’re ready for great Indian club workouts!
Many of the exercises will be familiar to people training with clubbells, and traditional Indian/ Tamil mugdars and karlakattai. We incorporate lots of lower body exercises in these Indian club workouts which will test your coordination, balance and timing skills. It’s great fun, and very different from the exercises you may know with 2 light Indian clubs.
Who is it for? What can you expect?
We designed the programming behind the Hanuman Indian club workouts with the new beginner in mind.
These programs have been tested in fitness centers in Denmark since 2017. People who never had seen Indian clubs before, with different fitness levels, and body types convinced us that it was possible to create a simple but fantastic training experience!
You can expect to improve your strength, endurance, cardiovascular fitness, agility, mobility and well being. The exercises progressively become more challenging in each volume.
Experienced club swingers and fit people will be able to push themselves harder, but this is a great way to start implementing a fitness program for anyone, even if you’re out of shape. The shortest program is 5 minutes long, and will leave you invigorated!
If you’re into HEMA, you’ll love the variety of club exercises done with 1 hand or 2 hands on the club.
The combination of exercises in each volume target the whole body. The flowing movements integrate all planes of motion, for a true body and mind stimulating workout.

I got this because despite a total mismatch in personalities, I’m fascinated with tricksters like the Monkey King, Maui, etc. So, I bought it and after a month of doing the program and the level 4 workout, I feel I can review it.
First, you’ll never get the same workout 2 days in a row. It can range from “Oh God! What did I do to deserve this?” to a nice warm up for your regular exercises. You’ll need two dice, three work better though. The dice determine the level (1-3), number of rounds (1-3) and order.
Second, the workouts are about right for me when I started and as they became easier, I added more weight.
Initially, I was awful with the grip transitions or from one side to the other, and had to add a few seconds of transition. But after about 2 weeks I no longer needed them.
I do still add a 5 second transition from standing to ground work for exercises.
I recommend this routine and plan to try Chapter 2 Mada next.
I hope Thierry can come up with something like this for 2 clubs in the future.
