  • Spalding's Indian Clubs and Dumbbells


    • A look at a very old training guide: 'Indian Clubs and Dumbbells' by Spalding from the American Sports Publishing Company of New York. The date on this one is November, 1902, although the training info is certainly just as relevant today.

  • The Textbook of Club Swinging by Tom Burrows


    • Whereas Arthur Saxon wrote The Textbook of Weight-Lifting, Tom Burrows wrote the Textbook of Club Swinging. Both men were certainly qualified to do so.

  • Indian Clubs by Alice J. Hoffman

    • In 1996 Alice J. Hoffman wrote the first book about Indian Clubs to be published in over 50 years. Unlike all previous books on Indian clubs, Hoffman focused on them as art objects and antiques rather than their use as a physical training tool. Many weights and styles of clubs are pictured and the shear number of variations and some of the history behind them makes for some interesting reading. Overall, this book was quite an unusual and expected undertaking... well worth tracking down if you are a serious Indian club fan. Indian Clubs by Alice J. HoffmanIndian Clubs by Alice J. Hoffman
