Clubfest 2 is a WRAP 🔥

I feel so much gratitude for this spectacular weekend. So many club enthusiasts under one roof, and everyone was so kind and receptive 🙏🏻

The opportunity to teach together with Paul @wolkowinski was something special for me. We’ve never been to each other’s workshops, yet have spend much time together.

Being present at one of his workshops feels like a 10 year old dream come true ✨

The hospitality and friendship given by Mark @clubsinmotion is something really special to me. His gym @mefirstfitness is becoming the Mecca of club training.

The Pehalavani Zurkhaneh training with Farnpush @anoush.fitance is something I won’t forget. The first time ever for me to train with a live Morshed who was drumming and singing the spiritual songs alongside it.

And lastly, all the wonderful individuals bringing their passion, energy, and joy to this event. It was infectious 😃

I hope to see you all next year at Clubfest 3 🔥

🌎Club Fest 2 is a wrap! Last year at our very first gathering, Mark, Kelly, and I fell in love with the experience of bringing so many club swingers from our communty…seasoned as well as new ones…to share in one location, education and flowing with those that share in this practice. Club Fest was born! We enjoyed it so much we had to keep continuing this new tradition…Club Fest 2 was even more of a success! 

Thank you @anoush.fitance for leading us in Zurkhaneh practice and educating us in the history and techniques. So much to learn and understand. 

Thank you, @wolkowinski for instructing us in a very special Indian clubs workshop…the priceless gems you keep bestowing us are endless. We are truly thankful. 

Thank you @the.flowing.dutchman for the rich pleasure of learning from you and experiencing how you crafted a very thoughtful and memorable heavy clubs workshop. 

Thank you @clubsinmotion for making this happen by opening up your gym and so graciously hosting this event. We couldn’t do it without you. 

And lastly, thank you to the club community who attended…I’m always inspired and grateful to be among you, learning and swinging these very special tools. 

Until next time! ♥️

Playing around with these wood swords @circular_strength_sep had made by @arborarmory a little bit more and had a full circle moment.

About 25 years ago I was first introduced to this pattern with wood swords. Since then I've gone on to teach it to a couple hundred people and have practiced it with just about as many different tools. To me, this is one of the fundamental patterns of "swinging stuff around". 

Back when I was first taught it, I then got to try it out with steel swords... maybe that's next here too 🤔

Thank you Farnoush @anoush.fitance for a wonderful Zurkhaneh experience. So grateful that I got a chance to participate. You truly shine my friend!

Thank you to my mentor Paul @wolkowinski for continuing to share your knowledge with all of us! Always inspiring others to pick up Indian Club Swinging and embrace the journey; truly an excellent course per usual! I’m blessed to have you in my life.

Thank you Harbert @the.flowing.dutchman for your heavy clubs course! Truly enjoyed my first experience attending one of your events. Loved learning new techniques from you and of course all the laughter too

It was a blessing to learn from one of my original sources of inspiration and technique @the.flowing.dutchman at @mefirstfitness . This full day of heavy clubs training was a wonderful opportunity to learn important fundamentals and to connect with some awesome folks in this community of 'clubbers' and 'swingers'🤣! I know what's next on my list of equipment...💪🏽🙏🏽

What a cool gift @circular_strength_sep sent me!

These are wood dao made by @arborarmory 

To my understanding, they worked together on the design of these. The idea was to give them the look of swords but to swing like an Indian Club.

After spending last night doing an hour of heart shapes with them (and then some additional play time with more complex patterns) I can definitely say I enjoy the way these swing.

Weighing in around 1kg each and being quite long compared to what Im used to, these definitely offer unique tension opportunities on top of their unique look! I will be spending a LOT of time with these in hand in the near future to really figure them out.

Another cool note, one I dont know Sep was aware of, dual dao is the weapon choice of Zuko in Avatar The Last Airbender. He uses them several times, including under the Blue Spirit mask. Coincidentally, I have a Blue Spirit mask

Gorz/Gada and Persian/Iranian Meel (Mil) Swings this afternoon as part of some Zurkhaneh inspired practice. I’ll be returning to Canada this Thursday for CLUB FEST 2, hosted by my friend Mark @clubsinmotion for 3 Days of club swinging events.
Friday evening, Farnoush @anoush.fitance will be teaching a Zurkhaneh class. She and I became dear friends a few years ago through our shared passion for ancient sports. I can’t wait to see her again!
My mentor @wolkowinski will be coming from Australia to teach an extension of his Indian Clubs Course on Saturday. Paul has inspired me for well over a decade and has taught me so much about various clubs and mace over the years! I’ve been very fortunate to collaborate with Paul on a number of projects over the years. To me, he’s the goat of club swinging. His knowledge is unmatched. 
On Sunday , my friend Harbet @the.flowing.dutchman is bringing his infectious energy to teach his heavy clubs course. It’s going to be great to see him again too. There’s sure to be a ton of laughter! 
There will be many familiar faces and an opportunity to make new friends. I’m so excited!
