Le Akhara sono delle "Palestre/Tempio" luoghi sacri, dove si allenano i lottatori Indiani di Kushti. Ragazzi che fanno una vita devota agli allenamenti per migliorare la tecnica di lotta e la loro preparazione atletica. In tutte le Akhara è possibile trovare degli altarini con le statue del Dio Hanuman, un Dio adorato da tutti i lottatori del subcontinente Indiano, Hanuman è sempre raffigurato insieme ala sua Gada.
Tra gli attrezzi che si possono trovare nelle Akhara c'è la Gada, un asta di Bamboo con una sfera di cemento o pietra attaccata alle estremità. Questo rappresenta più di un attrezzo ginnico, è quasi un attrezzo sacro, che accompagna il lottatore nella sua crescita!

Un ringraziamento speciale al mio Maestro Paul Taras Wolkowinski che mi ha insegnato gli Indian cubs e gli allenamenti tradizionali Indiani e Persiani.

The Akhara are "Gym /Temple" sacred places, where the Indian wrestlers of Kushti train.
Boys who live a life devoted to training to improve their fighting technique and their athletic training. In all the Akharas you can find altars with statues of the god Hanuman, a god worshipped by all wrestlers in the Indian subcontinent, Hanuman is always depicted with his Gada.
Among the tools that can be found in the Akharas is the Gada, a Bamboo rod with a concrete or stone sphere attached to the ends. This represents more than a gymnastic tool, it is almost a sacred tool, which accompanies the wrestler in his growth!

Special thanks to my Master Paul Taras Wolkowinski who taught me Indian cubs and traditional Indian and Persian training.

Indian Clubs OVER UNDER PARALLEL
I am sure that you will remember the OVER UNDER IN(ward) and OUT(ward) video with sagittal swings.
Today I decided to swing the PARALLEL version. Give it a try, and have fun with it.
Split the front circle into two. Upper and lower pendulums. This routine is based on the Propeller sequence.
There are four parts with body turns.
1. Frontal plane parallel swings use a pendulum and circles 1 and 3.
2. Sagittal swings left require accurate transitions with OVER UNDER transverse body turns.
3. Frontal plane inward swings use a pendulum and circles 1 and 3.
4. Sagittal swings right require accurate transitions with OVER UNDER transverse body turns.

靈感來自@roxie_jumprope 的印地安棒練習
看他將 #3、#4 圓結合向外的 Heart shape
並在同步與時間差之間流暢轉換
畫面真的非常美。
-
這啟發了我嘗試用 #3、#4 圓
去挑戰 @wolkowinski 的經典組合「ORILO」：
-
Heart shape（Inward & Outward）：
成功同時融入了 3 與 4 圓。
平行技（Parallels）：
目前順利加入了 3 圓；至於 4 圓
感覺更適合與 5 圓搭配，目前還在摸索中。
-
把現階段的練習成果整理成這支影片跟大家分享
繼續探索印地安棒無限好玩的世界！

Inspired by Roxie’s club swinging flow
seeing how he blended circles 3 and 4 into an outward heart shape, seamlessly shifting between sync and split-time, was pure poetry in motion.
That sparked an idea: why not challenge Paul’s classic "ORILO" combo using 3 and 4?
-
Here is where I'm at:
Heart shapes (Inward & Outward): Successfully integrated both 3 and 4.
Parallels: Smoothly locked in 3, but 4 feels like it pairs best with 5 for now—still tinkering with that connection.
-
Putting together this clip to share the journey so far. Onward to exploring the endless possibilities of Indian clubs!

Kettlebells & Steel Clubs Session (complementary tools to yesterday’s barbell session)
Combining these two modalities creates a well-rounded approach to strength, mobility, and conditioning.
Kettlebells (my main base) build powerful full-body strength with ballistic and explosive movements.
Steel clubs challenge grip strength differently, shoulder mobility, coordination, and rotational control. Together, they develop functional strength while introducing midline crossing patterns which tie in the X of the body

Oil change.

The mace is a great tool. But it's not why most of us are still swinging one years later. The people are.

Most of you we' ve never met in person.
.
You're in different countries and time zones, training in garages, parks and spare bedrooms. But we're all working the same tool through the same arcs and missing the same transitions. Then we sort it out together in the comments and DMs. When everyone is chasing the same skill with the same tool, a community like this comes together fast.

There's research behind why that matters. It's called the Köhler effect: people push longer and harder when they train alongside someone a little better than them. It works even when that partner is only on a screen. The gap just has to be close enough that catching up feels possible. That's this community. There's always someone a step ahead of you, and someone a step behind who's watching you.

So if you're on the fence, don't pick up a mace for the tool. Pick it up for the people you'll be training with.
.
Shout-out to @warriorwoman for the post that came at the right so we could reflect on that post's great message.

Zombie apocalypse ready! ⚔️

Always fun to find new tools to explore swing techniques with. Using both a shield and Tomahawk is a fun little puzzle and definitely one I will be playing with again 🙌

Indian Clubs - SyZyGy Alignment of Circles 1,3, & 4.
In astronomy, a SyZyGy is a straight-line configuration of three celestial bodies. The word is often used to refer to the Sun, Earth, and Moon.
-
To swing Indian Clubs in the SyZyGy format, create the straight line at shoulder height. The straight arm circle 1 is the centre, the outer straight-arm wrist circle is circle 3, and the inner cross-body wrist circle is circle 4.
Circles 3 & 4 are swung at shoulder height and follow the patterns set by circle 1.
-
The pattern requires double circles and follows the ORILO structure, starting outward, parallel, inward, parallel and finishing outward.

印地安棒最難的不是動作
是手肘的硬度

The real challenge of Indian Clubs isn't the technique, it's how hard your elbow is.

🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
Ogni tanto pratico gli Swings con questi Indian Clubs con il manico più grande del normale.

Le oscillazioni che vedi sono le classiche posteriori mischiate con quelle frontali, ed unite a blocchi alti con due mani e blocchi laterali ad una mano.

Questa coppia di Indian Clubs anomali pesano 5 kg l'uno e non sono adatte ai principianti.

Gli allenamenti con le clave non sono eseguiti con i schemi classici del Body Building ad esempio 5x6 / 5x8/ 5x15
ma vengono eseguite per round da 5 /10 /15 minuti per un totale di 45/60/90 minuti di lavoro.

I occasionally practice swings with these Indian Clubs with the largest handle than normal.

The oscillations you see are the classic rear oscillations mixed with the front ones, and joined to high blocks with two hands and side blocks with one hand.

This pair of abnormal Indian Clubs weigh 5 kg each and are not suitable for beginners.

Classroom workouts are not performed with classic Body Building patterns such as 5x6 / 5x8/ 5x15
But they are done in rounds of 5/10/15 minutes for a total of 45/60/90 minutes of work.

魔鬼真的藏在細節裡！
前幾天跟Paul聊到轉向的拍子差異
才發現自己漏掉了這麼棒的節奏細節。
-
這支影片特別試了把 Heart Shape 融進 360° Pivot
專注在向內、向外切換時順順地走過 i-position
抓那種剛剛好的節奏感。
-
每次被 Paul 點撥都有挖到寶的感覺
謝謝大師的眼睛！繼續練起來 🔥
-
The devil really is in the details!
-
After a quick chat with Paul about timing differences on the turns, a whole new layer of rhythm opened up for me.
-
Here’s my take combining the Heart Shape with a 360° Pivot—focusing on passing cleanly through the i-position during the inward and outward switches, and finding that sweet spot in the beat.
-
Always so grateful for Paul’s sharp eye and generous guidance. Back to the practice! 🙏🔥

Over Under ispirato dal Maestro Paul Wolkowinski
È un esercizio apparentemente facile, ma non lo è affatto! Serve molta concentrazione per eseguire i Body Turns abbinati ai cerchi numero uno e numero tre. La difficoltà è data anche dal peso della clava che quadruplica il suo peso.
