[View full gallery](https://mytribe.in/fitnesscoachpraveen007/indian-club-mace-training-mugdar-gada/gallery) Fitness is not a straight line, and after 23 years in the industry, I have learned that true strength comes from how we move every day. From traditional Mugdar and Gada to modern mobility drills, here is why I do what I do. ## Photos and videos - [Video: Many people say they don't like online classes, but sometimes the best teacher for you isn't in your city. I believe it's better to learn online than not at all.

If you cannot find a specialized coach in your immediate area, learning through a screen with active feedback is far better than skipping your training entirely. My online mentorship sessions focus on small groups where I provide real-time cues, ensuring you receive the same quality of instruction as my offline workshops in Bangalore. ### From Competitive Lifting to Traditional Movement My fitness journey began 23 years ago, starting with competitive weightlifting and winning a state-level championship. While that phase built my foundation, I eventually realized that modern gym routines were leaving me, and many of my clients, feeling stiff and disconnected. ### The Role of Traditional Indian Arts I turned to ancient tools like the Mugdar (Indian clubs) and Gada (mace) because they offer what modern machines cannot: natural, circular movement. These tools are incredible for desk-bound professionals in cities like Bangalore who struggle with shoulder mobility, wrist stiffness, and a weak core. You are not just building muscle; you are restoring the range of motion you lost while sitting in a chair. ### My Commitment to Quality I do not believe in mass-producing fitness plans. Whether you are attending a group workshop in Bellandur or joining an online session, my approach is hands-on. I have earned my Level 1 Instructor Certificate in Indian Club and Mace training from Tagda Raho, and I constantly push my own limits—like training with 25kg Vajra Mugdars—so I can better guide you through yours. ### Why Start Now? It does not matter if you are an 8-year-old or a 60-year-old; there is a starting point for everyone. I have seen clients who could barely lift their arms recover their range of motion through consistent, low-impact practice. Fitness is about feeling good in your own skin, not just looking a certain way. If you have been hesitant about joining a class, think of this as your invitation to start simple and move with purpose. ## About Praveen KA I am Praveen, a fitness coach who traded the modern gym scene to master traditional Indian movement.
