Welcome to Heavy Clubs SIX. The Six Week Workout Program for Heavy Clubs aka Clubbells, Persian Meels, or Mugdars. This course is the key stepping stone for anyone who has gone through Heavy Clubs 101 and wants to learn more. 

About Heavy Clubs SIX. 

In six weeks you’re going expand your knowledge, skill, and physical capability using two heavy clubs. Swinging two heavy clubs is tough, it’s an ancient practice that refers back to wielding a shield and a sword at the same time.. In Heavy Clubs SIX you’ll be challenged with complex combinations and flows. Luckily we’ll break it down into the smallest steps possible so that everyone in their own tempo is able to complete this program. The course will make you able to perform the movements in a safe way and will create a solid foundation for you to improve in complexity. Taking the time with each lesson will ensure the most benefit.

Heavy Clubs SIX will take you through six weeks/stages each with three workouts, which all work toward a final flow. Every week we will increase the complexity and this will involve new exercises, combinations, and flows. Through the course, you’ll build your skill with two heavy clubs and work up to swinging the figure eight pattern in four different ways.

Benefits.

Heavy Clubs SIX will greatly improve your ability to swing two clubs. It will build up coordination and skill in combination with the endurance to pull and swing two clubs technically correct and for a long time. Furthermore, it will teach you how to combine pull and swing into movement patterns (flows). What makes the six-week course unique is that you’ll get the added benefit of spending a lot of time with two clubs in your practice. The workouts are elaborate and intense and will challenge you. As you go through the course you’ll gain a deeper understanding of mobility and posture while performing static and dynamic exercises. What separates heavy clubs from the mace is the ability to statically pull and press in combination with active internal and external rotation of the shoulder. It requires tremendous stability and mobility to perform these movements correctly, and the course will teach you how to get better at that.

Swinging heavy clubs is very different compared to a machine lift in the gym and will challenge your entire body to function properly.  This course will get you there step by step, without the risk of rushing through things too quickly and getting injured. You will also learn a unique tempo system that will add a new edge to your training routine.

Difficulty.

This six-week workout program is labeled intermediate as it quickly dives deep into complex variations and flows. We highly recommend going through Heavy Clubs 101 first as you’ll gain the right amount of knowledge and experience with two heavy clubs to progress through this course fluidly. The course does not require any pre-knowledge, however, it is a stand-alone course. If you’re more experienced with swinging two heavy clubs, this course will give you the right amount of complexity to progress in your journey of skill progression.

You will also learn how to combine movements through transitions on an intermediate level. The course will challenge you, no matter how experienced you are. You will learn movements that you’ve never learned before, in a context in which you’ve never seen them before. This a unique chance and opportunity to enjoy the wonderful experience of skill mastery.

Length. 

SIX says it all, six weeks or stages is what it should take minimally to go through this course. However, from other six-week courses, we know that some participants spend half a year on the course to master the material. It’s not easy material, so it will take a lot of repetition to master. Think of the program as six stages to which you can come back with different weighted/shaped clubs every time and learn something new. 

Requirements.

All you need is a pair of heavy clubs usually sold as a mugdar, clubbell, steel club, or Persian Meel and the internet to access and learn from this course. We would recommend wooden or steel clubs with a weight of 2-3kg each for women and 3-4kg each for men. A little warning: 4kg per club is a lot of weight for this course. Take that into consideration. Learning a new skill always works better with a lighter weight.
