  • James J. Corbett's Indian Clubs
  • James J. Corbett's Indian ClubsJames J. Corbett's Indian Clubs

    Indian Clubs used to be very popular with turn-of-the-century boxers because they will build strong and well-conditioned shoulders.

    This pair of indian clubs once belonged to the great Heavyweight Boxing Champion James J. Corbett who used them in his training circa 1895 (he held the championship belt from 1892 to 1897.) You can make out his name written in black ink on the left-most club.

    Corbett certainly looks like he trained.

    These clubs are 17 inches long which means they weigh around a pound each. They also once were on display in "The Ring" Boxing Museum.
