  • Unusual Training Equipment: Sang (The Shield)

    • This unique piece of equipment, know as Sang, is from Traditional Iranian Martial Arts and is quite literally a "Shield" - just like the ancient warriors used to take into battle, albeit adapted into a training exercise in the "modern" age.

    Each of these shields are made of hardwood and weigh between 20-40 kilograms. The method for training with these impliments is for an athlete to lie on his back and alternate twisting and turning them in the air for maximum repetitions without letting them hit the ground.

    A respectable score in youth and adult tournaments is 72 times in 7 minutes.    		Unusual Training Equipment: Sang (The Shield)Unusual Training
