Historical Significance: Indian clubs originated in ancient India as Mugdar, used by warriors and wrestlers in Kushti training to build strength and agility. Popularized in the 19th century by British colonialists, they became a cornerstone of Victorian fitness, enhancing coordination and mobility worldwide.
Swinging these clubs improves shoulder mobility, joint health, and core stability while building functional strength, grip, and endurance. The rhythmic motions enhance coordination, balance, and cardiovascular fitness, with low-impact exercises suitable for all levels. Heavier clubs challenge power and grip, while lighter ones support rehabilitation and mindfulness, promoting mental focus and stress relief.
Indian rosewood (Dalbergia sissoo) is prized for its durability, smooth texture, and rich grain, ensuring long-lasting clubs with a comfortable grip and stunning aesthetic. Rosewood resists moisture pests like termites and wear, while sustainable sourcing aligns with eco-conscious values.
