If you\u2019re considering training with Indian clubs, you probably have been wondering if you should go for heavy clubs or light clubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With so many types and so many styles of club swinging, it can be hard to figure out what to start with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We hope to break it down for you in this post and help you make an informed decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At Heroic Sport, we differentiate between 2 styles: open style and closed style.
Open style is what most Westerners would associate Indian clubs to: light clubs swung in the British tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Open style club swinging is typically done with 2 light clubs, although you can swing with a single club as well.
Light clubs, in this context, means clubs you can swing at full arm\u2019s length with good elevation on each cast. This style can also be referred to as \u201cfancy club swinging\u201d and makes use of all 3 pivot points (shoulder, elbow and wrist) for some intricate movements.
When working with 2 clubs, you can do a pattern in sync or out of sync which results in nearly endless combinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
