Best heavy club instruction on KZbin

I see mill talk. I hit the like button

[@blackthanos914]

I'm milling constantly with both single arm (30lbs) and doubles (45lbs). My shoulder and t-spine mobility have greatly improved along with my core and overall strength. I do a lot of clubbell flows where I'm moving with the heavy club as well. Rotating into various lunges and squats. Those have taken my core strength and dynamic stability to a whole other level. I'm 59 years young and strong like bull 😂😂😂 thanks to heavy clubs, heavy maces, kettlebells and landmine training. Both Landmine University and Purmotion methodology. I flow heavy with EVERYTHING and it has been a game changer for me.

He has a great personality, I enjoy his videos

[@cultofhercules]

awesome! cant wait for the mill vid.

[@rickeccles7893]

For the algorithm!! 🫡

[@kostasm3750]

Excellent video!

[@CarbageMan]

Awesome! I was just ready to do this!

[@jacobcarrick1182]

Mmmmmm mill prep after meal prep

[@guyblew1733]

Some of that I can do with my mace.

[@jordantheokay3168]

I removed my last comment bc it was stupid. After 4 days of messing with the club, i realized that I'm definitely sticking to the 15lb club for a hot minute. Thanks for all the instruction.

[@MarkWildman]

The 15 pound club will last you at least one year. It lasted me a year. I have refined my training programs so I can probably Six months

[@MarkWildman]

What the tendon ligament adaptation has a fixed speed

[@jordantheokay3168]

@MarkWildman I actually have a few videos of me up trying with the thing. I'm making good progress. I just watch your videos and try to do my best. I'm in it for a year with this club. No worries. I wrote myself a little strength and conditioning program inspired by Dan Jon and one Mark Wildman Hevay club skill work is built into it, and I'm starting next week.

[@MarkWildman]

Let us know how you progress

[@jordantheokay3168]

@MarkWildman will do if you want. I'll post the program I wrote. It's my first program after my 76lb weight loss over the last year. I didn't write that one, though. It wrote itself.

[@kirkmonigold3099]

I want that shirt

[@cdktaekwon-doclubculebra1627]

My thumb can barely get close to the shoulder, such a stretch!

Maybe not fully edited? 5 mins of black and b roll after the 7 minute mark

[@CarbageMan]

Fortunately, doesn't affect the view-ability. Should be able to just chop it and re-upload.

[@esteban8183]

I know that in the video you include the shield cast as a base for the mill prep but it seems like for the actual mill, the movement appears to be more of a pullover with a rotation, is that correct? Or is it definitely more of a shield cast with a rotation? Am I splitting hairs here or missing something?

[@MarkWildman]

A shield cast goes past the opposite ear, a 180 pull over goes past the same side ear A meal prep is an inside circle with a shield cast A male is an inside circle with a 180 pull over

[@robertedwards7749]

Have been trying since a few videos back to buy a club via the site you recommend. They are out and have been for a while. I was wondering if you or anyone else may sell the same type. I would like to get one since i feel even just working with a club to start is a good start if anything. Any recommendations?

[@froinlaven71]

Just looked, the fat handle and the Wildman handle are both available. Unless you have a small hand, the fat handle (1.2" dia) should work very well. The standard Adex handle (1" dia) can feel pretty thin. Been swinging the fat handle for almost a year and it's perfect. Not too chunky, not too thin.

[@robertedwards7749]

@@froinlaven71 When I first looked at the site i only found the three clubs. I went back and looked again and I found the ones you are talking about. Thank you for the heads up. Only one question, how do you determine the proper handle length to get? Does it even matter? Thanks again.

[@froinlaven71]

@@robertedwards7749 In this video, Mark's swinging the club. I feel it's the most versatile. He has endless videos on clubs as well as a couple programs and there are a whole lot of other programs out there from others as well. Heck, Adex has their own club programs now. Mace can definitely be good and there are certainly things you can do, but you sort of need space to swing a mace. And the weight is going to be lighter because the lever is longer. The Arc is halfway between them. Sort of like a short mace. It's good for use inside if you want to do mace, but don't have the space.

[@robertedwards7749]

@@froinlaven71 Ok thank you. this is ALL new to me and I guess I will be spending a lot of time going over the different videos. Thank you again for the info.

[@oldgrizz8720]

Why is there no Thumbs Up Icon under the video only Thumbs Down? This is confusing.

[@honestlifter]

What is a good starting weight for a male?

[@darkclownKellen]

15lbs

[@cioran1754]

If the near-side cast portion of the mill mimics natural throwing patterns well, what is it that the shield-cast is doing to prepare for what is already a natural throwing pattern? Why not get straight into mill low weight / mobility prep work? Sincere question.

[@MarkWildman]

The shield cast is directly mimicked off of the shielding motion of blocking your head from an overhead downward, 45° strike. And then recasting into a strike.. it is the most basic move taught most forms of sword-based kung fu

[@cioran1754]

@@MarkWildman a move in its own right, but also useful as preparation for others, thanks

[@kevinherlihy9471]

Question: What happened with the Adex Adjustable club website? It doesn’t even open. I was interested in the adjustable club you were using…but….

[@MarkWildman]

I will call them and ask them

[@bandiceet]

I am guilty of not bringing my 'off' shoulder toward the club as I do a shield cast.

[@MarkWildman]

Everyone is guilty of that until they come to a seminar

[@MarkWildman]

Some high-level kung fu people figure it out on their own, but most people do not figure out how to rotate on their own without some better instruction overtime
