Light Clubs is a practice based on the practice that flourished in the 19th century in Europe and the USA. The British took clubs home that they found in India and from there it spread all across Europe and the USA. It even made it to the olympics in 1904 and 1932. This practice emphasises the extension of the arm far above the head. It will have a strengthening effect especially on the hands, forearms and shoulders. Because you’re swinging two clubs it allows for limb independence, which creates an infinite amount of possible variations and flows. Don’t be mistaken by the light weight, holding your arms up for a while is heavy already without anything in your arms.. Recommended starting weight: 1kg per club. Usually sold as Indian Clubs.
Benefits
Swinging light clubs is quite different than the other categories. First of all you’re swinging with two clubs, which allows for limb independent swinging and the endless variations that brings. Second, because of the light weight you’re required to extend the arms instead of bending the arms. Open style instead of closed style. The light weight also allows for a lot of hand/finger use compared to the other categories. This will give your shoulders an immense burn. The light weight makes it safe for rehabilitation because the impact on the joints is low.
