Thanks for watching! You can get a good set of Indian swinging clubs - amzn.to/39ZvL4r

[@arthurlevine4401]

Really enjoying. I’m 71 and box , no sparring, but lots of bag and mitt work. During this crazy SIP I thought I’d try something else and bought a pair of 1lb and 2lb. to use before I put on the gloves. Best part of the videos is the slow motion to be able to mimic the routines. Thanks for the instruction.

[@pasquinilli]

That’s great! How are you doing? Still training?

[@howdydave45421]

I am starting with a pair of 1 lb. Agutsu Clubs, a pair of 2 lb. Agutsu Clubs and a set of Heroic Sport Handles which I can probably take up to 10 lbs. by adding sand to a 2 L. carbonated beverage bottle. Currently working exclusively with 1 Lb. Clubs.

Swinging Indian Clubs has made him so fast that his face and hands reaches you before his voice does.

[@pasquinilli]

Hahaha. That’s funny!

[@IWillKillSomeDay]

Its one of the best videos on Indian clubs I have seen. Keep making more.

Thank you Louis!

[@dans2788]

I just bought a set of 2lb clubs to help with shoulder mobility - at first i was thinking they would be too light but after doing this routine I think they are perfect for my needs.

[@pasquinilli]

Awesome. I love them for shoulders!

Wonderful video. Never done it before. Have ordered 5 lb. club.

[@pasquinilli]

Can you cancel and get the one pound or two pound? Five is way heavy at the start with swings. I made that mistake and quickly realized that I need to start way lighter.

[@JustinNowellPlaysBG]

Good stuff!

[@pasquinilli]

Justin Nowell thanks Justin!

[@thenusa]

Beautiful, clean tutorial. Positive clear useful message. Thank you. Another improvisation I used a while ago was a pair of long narrow limoncello bottles filled with sand ... approximated clubs, (had to be careful for glass. Could have taped them, but they were pretty, so more mindful). Yes to find anything but do.

[@pasquinilli]

Those do sound pretty! And perfect size and weight! Thank you!

[@jennywiltshire7354]

Hi Excellent video, thank you very much. I am just starting out with the clubs and will get myself a pair of sticks to see how it goes.

[@mamabearthrives7815]

Thank you! Great video breakdown, love the slow down, my husband and I just started swinging the mace bell and we are thinking of also starting the clubs, we both train, husband does Krav Maga and is an installer, and I in bjj/ grappling and a massage therapist lol so this will help much with our ROM and pain, I’ve only been swinging on the 5 pound gently and carefully for the last couple of weeks and I’ve already noticed in the last few days and I haven’t had any numbness or tingling in my arms or hands when I wake up! The clubs will be a helpful tool!!

[@pasquinilli]

So fantastic! Yes! I have been pain free since adding these to my weekly training over ten years ago now. I also beat myself up a lot! Keep training!!

[@robertelwilson]

Great tutorial- just getting into swinging Indian Clubs- found this video very helpful. Thanks!

[@pasquinilli]

Awesome. I’m making another one next week! What weight did you start with?

[@sumandas9487]

Matt Pasquinilli will you please tell me is it give me core workout also or just shoulder and arm?

[@pasquinilli]

suman das Yes! It is a great exercise for your core. The key is to keep the stomach up and in and shoulders back with chin slightly down and feet directly under your shoulders. When you focus also on those things for good posture, you will feel your core muscles engage and you will get a great benefit. Thanks for that question!

[@theinfjgoyim5508]

I agree, I would say that you do not need to grip tightly to strength grip. You just need to hold them, do not squeeze like with a dumbbell

[@ozimandias7866]

Maratha warriors from India, used to practice this, also it's practice in kalaripayatt

I never knew such great tools until i seen a email from Origin USA. I bought 2 leather Burden kettle bell from them and love it. They sent me a new product they have New Indian Club they have now. Watching this video i will order me a set. I need this training specially recent right shoulder pain. Peace and love from East Harlem NYC...

[@pasquinilli]

How are your shoulders doing? Did you start training?

[@fortgreeneprojects1]

@@pasquinilliI have no order a set of Indian Clubs yet. I'm still having shoulder pain my left shoulder. I think a few months ago working in my local park and just starting to work out. I have not work out in years. But I meet a young brother and we was doing push ups and all. He was showing me pull ups on the bar. We did a few of them and than some diamond push ups. I think I hurt my shoulder doing some of those diamond pushups. I hear cracking noise when I lift up my arm in my shoulder. But I love watching your videos and training. Living here in East Harlem Wilson projects is dangerous just NYC period. So your channel gives me that inspiration and motivation. Peace and Love...

Thank you Jim! They are such amazing tools for health and strength! I am glad to be of help. Where are you watching the Surf? I’m now in beautiful South Florida and the ocean is feeding my soul!

This is great. Clear instruction. I'm just starting out with Indian Clubs and was also told if in doubt, get the lighter clubs. So mine are only 0.5Kg each. I've just finished my workout but I'm looking forward to following this tomorrow. Thanks!

[@pasquinilli]

My pleasure! Thanks for your comment. This things are fun and so good for your shoulders and grip!

Matt Pasquinilli Hi Matt, I had my first go at this today. I’m fine with the singles but coordinating two hands at once, that was a different story! Anyway I like a challenge so I’m just going to work on these every day just as you’ve shown here. Thanks again.

[@pasquinilli]

@@endo9913 Awesome! I am about to go live with a swinging workout in about ten minutes. Hope to see you there!

[@swamification]

My very first pair of clubs (five pounders) arrived today! Can't wait to try these exercises. Very clear instructions...thank you :))

[@pasquinilli]

Go slowly with five pounds! Take your time and work up to faster speeds. Five pounds is heavy with these moves.

[@swamification]

Matt Pasquinilli Thank you Matt...you’re right they are are very heavy, too heavy to learn with. I think I’ll set these aside for the moment and order the lighter sets you provided the link to. Thanks again so much!

[@pasquinilli]

You are welcome. It’s great to have those for the future and there are ways to incorporate them now into your workout without risk of injury. I’ll make you a video!

[@swamification]

[@bartisticproductions]

Hi thanks for the tutorial. I learnt about Indian Clubs from a BBC Movie called The Haunted Airman, with Robert Patterson, and then I bought The Haunting of Toby Jugg, by Dennis Wheatley. In the movie he did two main exercises. Is it possible to just do these two exercises? And when I buy the clubs what is the best weight? Thanks for your video. I can't wait to learn some of the exercises you did on it!!! I "liked" your video, so I can go back.

[@TheTRAINOR11]

Like your instruction the best. I got 1 lbers for now from Amazon. Should I got up in weight and when ?

[@pasquinilli]

You should go up if you practice daily or at least three times a week after three months to protect your shoulders. I just went to five pounds from two pounds after a long time. Thanks!

[@vanessagengler5428]

This is great! For now I'm using some old 3/4 lb candlepin bowling pins! They are shaped just like Indian Clubs. The slow mo really helps you understand the movement. Thank you!

Canadansker yes or whatever you can get. I started with two sticks and taped small weights to the end. I got them out of old ankle weights that I found at a garage sale. Start where you are with what you have. Thank you so much for watching and commenting. Keep training!

Awesome! Where i can buy these clubs? And what wheight (kg) for beginning?

[@pasquinilli]

Start with 2lb amzn.to/33aIhdP

[@paulmaloney2383]

I just bought mine and got a 5 lbs, but they say to start with 2lbs, you will be surprised how much more the weight feels than it actually is because the weight is at the end of the clubs, it's not about the weight it's about getting your shoulders to create more mobility, so if your mobility is limited get the 2lb you can always increase it

[@vishwaskarmarkar9932]

What I came to know is that the effective weight of the club increases due to the gravity effect as you swing it down and up.

I am research what clubs to purchase . What would you recommend?

[@pasquinilli]

Cathy Boyce I get the beginner clubs from amazon. Start light as possible if you haven’t before.

[@pasquinilli]

After a while you can move up to Onnit clubs. 5 and 10 pounds. But not for a long time. Like 6-9 months of weekly practice.

[@cathyboyce9589]

Matt Pasquinilli Are wooden clubs better , or does it matter ?

[@pasquinilli]

Cathy Boyce they feel more authentic, but have to be bigger as they get heavier. They are smooth and feel good, but I really don’t have a preference in general. I have tough skin and like the feel of metal. The beginner sets from amazon are hard plastic and the least “cool” looking, but get the job done!
