In this 3-day immersion, we focus on the physics of the Gada and Mudgar, teaching you how to correct form and manage rotational load for yourself and your future clients. We start from zero, ensuring you master every grip, stance, and breath before moving to complex flows. ### Why This Isn't Just Another Course Most people think Desi is just 'jugaad'. We are here to prove it's a science. This L1 program is the foundation you need to move from being a practitioner to a coach. Whether you are a fitness professional looking to add a new modality to your toolkit, or a physiotherapist interested in rotational mechanics and injury prevention, this certification gives you the 'why' behind the 'how'. ### What You Will Master We break down 30+ fundamental movements. We don't rush you. The focus is on precision, safety, and understanding the biomechanics of Indian clubs. - **Biomechanical Fundamentals:** Understand joint activation, grip, and how these tools impact different muscle groups. - **Programming:** Learn how to build a session, starting from warm-ups to full-body rotational workouts. - **Error Correction:** We train your eye to spot flaws in form so you can coach others safely. ### Who Is This For? - **Fitness Coaches:** Add a powerful, timeless tool to your training roster. - **Physiotherapists:** Use Mudgar training for rehab and range-of-motion work. - **Serious Enthusiasts:** Take your own practice to the next level and learn to lead the tribe. ### The Process This is a 3-day, high-intensity offline intensive. You get the manual, the practice, and the theory. By Day 3, you are assessed. If you pass, you become a 'Tagda Raho Level 1 Certified Coach'. It's that simple, but you have to put in the work. No shortcuts. Just pure, science-backed movement. ## About Tagda Raho We aren't just teaching movements; we are building a lineage.
