After decades in fitness and even winning a state lifting title, I realised what really matters is how you move in daily life. Modern routines? Too rigid. With Indian clubs (Mugdar) and mace (Gada), it’s about flowing, ancient moves that actually help with the stiff, stuck feeling from sitting or screen work. ### What Makes Mugdar & Gada Training Different - All about natural, powerful movement, not just muscle size - Focus on joint health, especially shoulders, wrists, and back - Great for anyone - I’ve taught 8-year-olds, my own 60+ chitta (aunt), and busy IT folks - If regular gym stuff feels boring or makes you sore, this is something else ### What You’ll Notice - Shoulders, elbows, wrists start feeling looser - less nagging pain - Core, grip, and back strength build up without even thinking about it - Movements need focus, so your brain gets a workout too - Heart rate goes up, so it’s good cardio as well ### How We Train - Offline group workshops in Bangalore (all equipment provided) - Online morning sessions for regular practice (need your own clubs/mace) - Personal sessions, both online and in-person, if you want more one-on-one I use high-quality wooden Mugdar, Gada, and Karlakattai, and can help you pick the right gear for your level. This is more than just another workout - it’s ancient Indian functional fitness, fit for modern life. ## Highlights Browse through Praveen KA's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/fitnesscoachpraveen007/indian-club-mace-training-mugdar-gada/featured) - [Video: This is the power of Gada training.

My own fitness story? Started 23 years ago, best lifter award, Bruce Lee fan since childhood (yes, I still have those action figures). Life’s not a straight line, had my share of falls, but always getting back up. Family, Onam, Vishu, even those wild festival dances - that’s us. Fitness isn’t just a job, it’s what keeps us moving, laughing, living. ### My work - **What We Do**: Personal training, fitness choreography, yoga, Crossfit, calisthenics, injury rehab, water healing therapy, and our favourite - Mugdar and Indian club workouts. - **Ancient Warrior Workouts**: We teach Mugdar workout classes and Indian club training. Great for desk job folks - brings back shoulder movement, strength, and brain coordination. - **Workshops & Classes**: Join our functional mobility workshops in Bangalore or Thrissur, or online. We come to your group too. Just start, doesn’t matter how. - **All Ages Welcome**: Fitness is for everyone - from 8 to 80. We help you build up, step by step, no matter your starting point. ## More services from Praveen KA - [Personal Training](https://mytribe.in/fitnesscoachpraveen007/personal-training) · ₹700-1,800 per session (estimate) - [Corrective Exercise & Performance Coaching](https://mytribe.in/fitnesscoachpraveen007/corrective-exercise-performance-coaching) · ₹800-2,500 per session (estimate) ## Book To book Praveen KA, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Indian%20Club%20%26%20Mace%20Training%20(Mugdar%20%26%20Gada)%20by%20Praveen%20KA.)
