Mugdar & Indian Club Training in Bangalore
Bring back natural shoulder movement and grip strength with traditional Indian club training. Perfect for reversing the stiffness caused by desk jobs.
A simple, flowing sequence with two Mugdars. This kind of practice is perfect for early mornings to wake up the body and get the shoulder joints moving.
Partner workouts make practice more fun and synchronized. Here we are doing a flow with heavier clubs, which adds a cardio element and challenges our endurance.
A client demonstrates a beginner-friendly swing. We focus on getting the arm and foot movements right from the start to build a strong foundation for more complex flows.
We took on the Vaaliban movie challenge with our clubs. It's a fun way to practice and show the power and grace of these ancient tools.
This video shows a single club swing combined with a lunge. This movement improves coordination and builds strength through a wider range of motion.
Here I am practicing with a Mugdar in my hometown in Kerala, wearing a traditional mundu. This shows the deep cultural roots of this fitness style.
You can see the improvement that comes with consistent practice. My movements with the Indian clubs have become smoother and more controlled over time.
About this collection
If you spend hours at a desk, your shoulders likely feel locked or stiff by the end of the day. Mugdar training isn't about lifting heavy to get big muscles, it is about restoring the rotational movement your joints have lost. We use wooden clubs to gently open the shoulders and wrists, bringing back that fluid, loose feeling you have not had since you were younger.
Rediscover Ancient Movement
Modern gym routines often focus on linear, repetitive movements that can eventually lead to joint issues. Mugdar and Indian club training take a different path. These tools use circular, flowing patterns that are inherently better for your shoulders, wrists, and back. Think of it as a massage for your joints while you build functional strength.
Why Desk Workers Choose This
Most of my clients come to me with the same problem: a desk job that has left their posture hunched and shoulders tight. Indian club workouts address this directly. The swinging motion forces you to engage your core and improve your brain coordination, all while loosening those tight spots. It is not just a workout; it is a way to undo the damage of sitting all day.
Our Training Approach
Whether you are an athlete or someone who hasn't touched a weight in years, I start where you are. My sessions focus on:
- Mechanics: Learning the correct grip and swing path to ensure safety.
- Mobility: Specifically targeting stiff wrists and shoulders to counteract screen time.
- Flow: Moving from simple drills to complex patterns that keep your mind and body active.
How We Train
- Workshops: Join our offline group sessions at Callipers Fitness in Bellandur. All high-quality Rosewood equipment is provided, so you just need to show up.
- Personal Training: If you want one-on-one attention for injury rehab or specific flow goals, we can do this in-person or via video call.
- Online Mentorship: For those who want to build a consistent habit, join our live virtual morning batches. You will need your own clubs for these, and I will guide you through the flow in real-time.
