Hello, John Wood, A while ago I received the combined set of Indian Clubs from you and I say, the Indian Clubs are the best pieces of training equipment I have ever owned. Actually, I have abandoned kettlebells completely in favour of Indian Clubs. The feeling of strength and flow of energy is beyond any kind of training I have ever done before. The instruction dvd by Dr. Ed Thomas is informative and quite easy to learn from. I will highly recommend to purchase the dvd with the Indian Clubs. Finally I would like to mention the good service from your company, I felt that everything was in good hands. Please keep up the good work, and please let me know whenever you have new information concerning Indian Clubs. Be strong. Yours sincerely, Christian Schyberg Denmark |

"With over 40 professional fights I’ve had to deal with a number of injuries including a partial
rotator cuff tear, a jammed shoulder and cartilage damage. I went through extensive rehabilitation
with limited success. I was introduced to Indian Clubs a little over a year ago and I can tell you
since using the clubs on a regular basis, my shoulder now feels solid and 100%. Indian Club Exercises
are now a necessary part of Miletich Fighting Systems. Not only for me, but all our fighters." Pat Miletich 5-time Ultimate Fighting World Champion Bettendorf, Iowa |

"We utilize the Indian Clubs with our swimming programs during pre and post season training.
The pre-season program goal is to establish efficient movement patterns with the shoulder,
elbow and wrist during dynamic warm-ups for lifting. The post season involves shoulder reconditioning
and preparation for overhead lifting. It is a valuable training tool for our program." Bill Maxwell Strength and Conditioning Coach University of Iowa Hawkeyes |

"Blue Man Group is a fun and intense show to perform in. The drumming style we use is big and physical.
Besides the normal strain involved with repetitive motion, we play on multiple surfaces, including PVC tubing
and paint covered drum heads. We're expected, of course, to be in shape and ready to give one hundred percent in every show.
Each performer has his own way of warming up and staying in shape. I find the Indian Clubs to be an amazing tool to strengthen and lengthen my muscles,
joints, and tendons. Whether I'm just warming up before a performance, warming down after a performance, or doing some more intense strength building exercises with
heavier clubs, I never feel any excess strain from the clubs." Kalen Allmandinger Blue Man Group |

"In Crossfit, we do a lot of high-intensity weightlifting and gymnastics. I purchased about a dozen pairs of Indian Clubs to use as a warm-up
in our group classes. They were an instant hit. In fact, my athletes are completely spoiled by them now, and request them in every session. Club swinging is fun,
helps to both prevent and rehab shoulder injuries, and is an excellent workout in its own right." Michael Latch Valley Crossfit |

"Indian clubs have been on my "favorite exercise" list for a long time. For my first few years I simply tried to make it up, but once I finally
buckled down and learned to swing them correctly, Indian Clubs opened up a whole new world of training for me. They are not only challenging,
but also a great way to build and maintain shoulder health. I truly can't imagine my training without them.

"I became interested in Indian Clubs several years ago after speaking with Vern Gambetta. What intrigued us about using the clubs was the training potential of
extending the kinetic chain and being able to add resistance in all planes of motion. The clubs are definitely one of those training tools that have to be tried to be
understood, but the main reason I use them is that they require you to be mindful rather than mindless in your movements. You learn to create fluid, graceful, precise
movement patterns, and these patterns are great for your shoulders, elbows, and wrists especially. Baseball and volleyball players, Nordic skiers, and swimmers are some
of the athletes who can benefit greatly by adding these functional, inexpensive and portable tools to their
training program." Steve Myrland Myrland Sports Training, LLC |

"The Indian Clubs are great! I have clients ranging from college bound students to men and women in their 80s using the clubs for different reasons.
Some are using for warming up or cooling down before and after a workout while others are using as their main activity to help promote or maintain coordination
and flexibility of the shoulder girdle. We have several physical therapists using the clubs as a rehab tool." Chris Hall Symmetry Fitness, LLC, New York, New York |

"There is just nothing like a workout with the clubs for general health, mobility and flexibility. It's good for anyone but especially good for the martial
artist because along with the loosening of the shoulder girdle it promotes coordination and strength in motion. Since I started using clubs about a year ago, I also
found a heavier set and have been exploring lots of different exercises based on my practice of
Filipino-Kali-Escrima." Stephen Browne Martial Arts Instructor Warsaw, Poland |
|
"Besides adding interest and a new challenge to any routine, the Indian Clubs contribute neuromuscular and cognitive stimulation that cant be duplicated
with any other equipment. I'm just beginning to learn about cross-pattern movement and right/left brain function, and I feel that clients can benefit from the clubs
in ways they might not even realize. At Fitness Performance we strive for integrated whole body movements instead of part-by-part workouts, and club swinging fits right
into this method of training." Marc Andresen Fitness Performance Glen Gardner, New Jersey |

"I would like to thank Dr. Ed and Dick Thomas for opening a new world and expanding my horizons in the fitness industry. Incorporating Indian Clubs to my personal
training has done wonders for my shoulder injuries. Adding Indian Clubs to my adult fitness classes and my Kung Fu Kids classes has brought new functional training to our
center, or should I say old functional training since Indian Clubs have been around for a long time. Sim D. Kehoe was the pioneer of Indian Club training in America at the
end of the 19th century. Ed and Dick Thomas are the modern day pioneers of Indian clubs reintroducing this
almost-dead art." Julio Anta Anta's Fitness and Self Defense Miami, Florida |

"I have been teaching alternative healing and health-building for over 3 decades. I find
these clubs to be a wonderful addition to any health or fitness program. I have ten sets
of these 1 and 2 pound clubs from this seller. The service is quick and has been totally
reliable thus far. The clubs themselves are excellent. I would suggest 1 pound clubs for beginners.
You'll be pleasantly surprised at the fun and the workout you can get with even the light clubs. The
instructional DVD is simple and good enough to get started. Indian Clubs do take a while to learn.
But the benefit is worth it. Not only do I use my every day, my clients all love them too. Most of
them have purchased their own sets."

"Purchasing these Indian clubs and instructional dvd was one of the best moves I've made. The instructional dvd
is very well made by Dr. Ed Thomas which makes it easy to learn the Indian club exercises. There are plenty of
exercises to learn and you also can create your own when your good enough. I purchased these 2 lbs. Indian clubs
for our son (plays varsity football & wrestling) who is already pretty strong. I would say to someone with not a
lot of strength to purchase the 1 pounder's for starting out. The Indian clubs are great and well made. This
exercise system can really benefit your shoulder range, motion, flexibility, & strength. They also can help
to avoid injury due to these benifits from being dedicated to using this system. Your grip, wrists, forearms,
etc. will also benefit from these indian club exercises."

"I like how your Indian Clubs are made of REAL WOOD. Very classy! I use Hopps #9 to polish them and they
look like sculpture.... They are the best fun way I've found to shape and tone my arms." Sarah W. Seattle, Washington |

"I purchased a pair of Indian Clubs and video about a year ago for therapy of chronic shoulder pain. I have now been using the clubs for one year and have achieved a
much greater range of motion and decreased pain. I have now prescribed the clubs to my patients who tell me of the same results. I would highly recommend the use of Indian Club
Exercises for chronic shoulder pain and loss of range of motion." -- Dr. Mark Schmall D.C. Chiropractor Rock Island, Illinois |

"I love the Indian clubs and the exercises. They are deceptively strenuous! I suffer a lot of neck and back pain from sitting all day at a desk and the exercises
really feel like theyre helping, restoring a kind of balance in a way. I spin the tape forwards and look
at the more complicated moves and hope one day I get there." Adele Carroll Lymington, Hampshire UK |

"I'm 52 years of age, vocationally a government budget officer who spends way too many hours at a computer.
Avocationally, I am a martial artist with over 35 years
of practice --the last 15 or so in Southeast Asian martial arts (kali, silat, kuntoa, bando, gungfu, etc.).
I have now been swinging Indian Clubs for a little over a year.
The Ed Thomas video gave me the best instruction to date. The use of lightweight clubs helped loosen and strengthen
the shoulder girdle which tends to get tight when I spend too many hours at a computer. The light clubs also helped
my elbows and wrists that have been injured through martial arts practice. With the club swinging technique, I get
full extension of the joints which I do not with more compact movements and exercises." Robert Eggebrecht Chicago, Illinois |

Indian Club training was introduced at the University about two years ago. Since then, our students have really gravitated to Indian Club exercises. The rhythm of Club Swinging
has an appeal that feels almost primordial. I would rate Club Swinging as one of the best body/mind exercises that exist. The psychomotor control it develops is complex
and exotic, stirring joy at every swing. Ken Daley Associate Professor, Department of Exercise and Sport Sciences Maharishi |
