  • Dr. Ed Thomas


    • Dr. Ed Thomas is the last of the Indian Club Swinging masters who is thankfully keeping this near-lost art alive. Years ago, Indian Clubs were a common site in gymnasiums, and schools but today are rarely found.

    This is a shame, although the clubs do seem to be making a strong comeback, more because of necessity than anything else: a few minutes of club swinging per day is an efficient and effect way to build and maintain shoulder strength.

  • Dr. Ed Thomas


    • Dr. Ed Thomas has been instrumental in the modern interest in Indian Club Swinging and they would not be nearly as popular without his efforts. He has been using the clubs for decades. Today, at 64 years old, he still swings the clubs often ~ naturally. Dr. Thomas is featured in the instructional DVD which comes free with our Indian Clubs in case you are interested in learning the proper technique for swinging them.

  • Dr. Ed Thomas


    • Dr. Ed Thomas was introduced to the Turners and Indian Club swinging as a boy in the mid-1950s. This experience began a life-long interest in traditional physical training techniques. In 1988, Dr. Thomas studied traditional Indian club swinging in Burma for nine months.

    Today, Dr. Thomas is a Fulbright Scholar, martial artist and university professor with over 25 years of teaching experience. He is actively involved in teaching and promoting physical training programs in schools and the U.S. Military.
