  • Heavy Clubs

  • Heavy ClubsHeavy ClubsAlthough there actually were a few outlets for finding commercially-made wooden indian clubs, many, like this one, were custom made by local craftsmen.

    This was especially true of heavier clubs -- those weighing five pounds or more. This particular style of club was popular during the late 1800s and can be seen in the background here. The heavier clubs were very popular among wrestlers and boxers for building shoulder strength. -- something they are still very effective for accomplishing.

    (You'll want to master the light clubs first though, before moving on to heavier clubs.)
