Indian Clubs

  • Large circle warm ups

  • Arms in iron cross position

  • Wrist circles, outward on back of arm and then inward

  • Mills and transition sequence

  • Outward Mills (aka outward heart shaped swings)

  • Cross in front to transition to Inward mills (aka inward heart shaped swings)

  • Inward Mills (aka inward heart shaped swings)

  • Transition to outward mills by topping in iron cross position, doing wrist circles with clubs behind forearms

  • Outward mills, transition to parallel swings by stopping one club in cross position, continuing swing with other arm until the clubs, ‘catch up’ with other and swing both clubs in parallel in one direction. Clubs rotate small circles in same direction of the larger circle.

  • Transition to opposite parallel swings by stopping clubs at top of circle, switch directions by doing a small parallel circle in opposite direction

  • Parallel swings opposite side

Outward mills with squat

  • Start with outward mill

  • As clubs start downward swing perform hindu squat with heels raised

  • As swing start up rise from the squat
