  • Classic Indian Clubs
  • Classic Indian ClubsClassic Indian Clubs

    Indian clubs originated centuries ago in India where they were used by soldiers, wrestlers police, and other combat athletes who needed to develop strength, agility, balance, endurance, physical prowess and martial arts skill.

    Soldiers brought Indian club training to Europe and European immigrants brought Indian clubs to the United States in the mid-1800's, where the clubs were soon introduced into both American school physical education programs and military physical readiness training.

    These clubs came in all shapes and sizes, and ranged from 1 pound to 30 pounds or more. Those shown above are just a few examples of the different kinds and styles that were used for training.

    "Indian Clubs cultivate patience and endurance, and operate most happily upon the longitudinal muscles of the back and shoulders, thus tending to correct the habit of stooping" - Dio Lewis, 1882
