The Elbow and Club Video is about the correct technique for the Inward Back Circle to avoidElbow Injury and Pain. For Indian Clubs, Persian Mil, Jori Clubs and Gada Mace

Four Disciplines used in the Elbow and Club Video

  1. Indian Clubs
  2. Persian Clubs (Mil)
  3. Indian Jori Clubs
  4. Gada Mace

Elbow Pain

Special focus on important information for the prevention of elbow pain during club swinging.
The main reason for elbow pain is the fear of dropping the club during the back swing. Grip plays a huge roll in good technique. Incorrect grip will result with the club being held too high behind the back putting stress on the elbow. The club is subsequently muscled through the movement, rather than swung through.

Disengage the Biceps

Simple exercise to disengage the biceps and understand the correct position of the hand holding the club behind your back.

Important guidelines

Disengage the biceps
Fully extend the triceps
Moving lockout during the back swing
Grip change – Hammer – Sabre
Using the anchor – Third Finger
Ball on handle
Shoulder movement and creating space for the swinging club
Push and pull,
  • The PUSH up increases the height of the club and the distance it has to fall, which in turn accelerates the descent of the falling club at the back of the body
  • The PULL up harnesses the energy from the gravitational pull to bring the club up out of it’s descent
  • Use just the right amount of power sufficient enough to grip the clubs and then push up and swing them
