Heavy Clubs is a practice that has its main foundation in the Persian Meel tradition from modern day Iran. In this tradition one the seven pillars of strength is the Meel and this involves swinging two relatively heavy clubs. Compared to light clubs the technique involves more back activation and less shoulder activation since the elbows are kept in a 90 degree angle. Compared to Heavy Club, Heavy Clubs has added complexity because of limb independence. This practice is more difficult to start with since it has both two clubs and weight. The courses work up slowly, but we’d still recommend starting with Heavy Club first. Don’t be mistaken with the weight, it requires tremendous strength and focus to hold two clubs at the same time, let alone swinging them. Recommended starting weight: 3-4kg per club. Usually sold as Persian Meels, Clubbells, Steel Clubs, Karlakattai, or Mudgars.
