Man, I missed my calling.

I wish I smart enough to copy 19th century Indian Club regimes, http://ejmas.com/pt/ptart_dick_0101.htm, and then package them with really cool looking 'blades' and then market them as both a fitness program and a meditative practice.

Those look nifty (I study Kali-Escrima). Probably better for my arms than the dumb weights I've been using.

I guess if you want to pay 170usd for very light blade like weights.

Or you could get wooden or polyurethane clubs for way less. http://www.revolutionclubs.net/ http://indianclubs.com/products.html https://rmaxinternational.3dcartstores.com/Clubbells_c_8.html

And look some 19th century manuals for indian clubs or meels, for free. http://ejmas.com/pt/ptart_dick_0101.htm http://www.semlyen.net/cosmosjugglers/lib/contents.htm http://ejmas.com/pt/ptart_lewis_1101.htm http://www.sandowplus.co.uk/Competition/Kehoe/kehoe-intro.htm


Now, that I won't be doing PT with my Platoon fo the next 3 months I will going back to using indian clubs for my upper body training.

A friend of mine made some brass "Jogging weights" that could also be used as brass knuckles.

He does most of the stuff you can find in the manuals, so you can have a good idea what they look like.

I used to exercise like that with my heavy sca-gear.  Only difference is, I was working out with sword/board.

This is really cool.
