Difficulty. It’s a 101 course, which means it’s basically an introduction/beginner course. It starts all the way at the beginning of the light clubs journey. However, you will not just learn a few movement patterns. You will also learn how to combine movements through transitions on a basic level.

Some will complete it within 1-2 weeks if they’re eager and learn quickly. Others might take 2-3 weeks depending on the willingness to push through and their basic level of coordination.

Requirements. All you need is access to the internet and two light clubs. We would advise two clubs of a weight between 0.5kg and 1kg. It can be made of wood, plastic/water or steel. They are usually sold as Indian Clubs, Pahlavandles, or steel clubs. It sounds like a small amount of weight, but don’t underestimate this practice. It can be brutal on the shoulders!
