Pat Miletich -
5 time Ultimate Fighting World Champion
With over 40 professional fights I’ve had to deal with a number of injuries including a partial rotator cuff tear, a jammed shoulder and cartilage damage. I went through extensive rehabilitation with limited success. I was introduced to Indian Clubs a little over a year ago and I can tell you since using the clubs on a regular basis, "my shoulder now feels solid and 100%." Indian Club Exercises are now a necessary part of Miletich Fighting Systems. Not only for me, but all our fighters.

Michael Latch - Valley Crossfit
In Crossfit, we do a lot of high-intensity weightlifting and gymnastics. I purchased about a dozen pairs of Indian Clubs to use as a warm-up in our group classes. They were an instant hit. In fact, my athletes are completely spoiled by them now, and request them in every session. Club swinging is fun, helps to both prevent and rehab shoulder injuries, and is an excellent workout in its own right.

Steve Myrland - Myrland Sports Training, LLC
I became interested in Indian Clubs several years ago after speaking with Vern Gambetta. What intrigued us about using the clubs was the training potential of extending the kinetic chain and being able to add resistance in all planes of motion. The clubs are definitely one of those training tools that have to be tried to be understood, but the main reason I use them is that they require you to be mindful rather than mindless in your movements. You learn to create fluid, graceful, precise movement patterns, and these patterns are great for your shoulders, elbows, and wrists especially. Baseball and volleyball players, Nordic skiers, and swimmers are some of the athletes who can benefit greatly by adding these functional, inexpensive and portable tools to their training program.

Kalen Allmadinger - Blue Man Group
Blue Man Group is a fun and intense show to perform in. The drumming style we use is big and physical. Besides the normal strain involved with repetitive motion, we play on multiple surfaces, including pvc tubing and paint covered drum heads. We're expected, of course, to be in shape and ready to give one hundred percent in every show. Each performer has his own way of warming up and staying in shape. I find the Indian Clubs to be an amazing tool to strengthen and lengthen my muscles, joints, and tendons. Whether I'm just warming up before a performance, warming down after a performance, or doing some more intense strength building exercises with heavier clubs, I never feel any excess strain from the clubs. www.blueman.com |
