Here is a quick outline of how I got
my first pair of Indian Clubs
© 2016 Paul Taras Wolkowinski - INDIAN CLUBS and how to use them - www.indianclubs.com.au 7
I found a book called
‘Indian Clubs’ written by
GTB Cobbett and AF Jenkin
in 1905

The book contained a template for
making Indian Clubs I decided to find a local woodturner to make me a pair.

My first clubs were 26” long
and weighed 2.5lbs each

Little did I know that I was embarking on
a huge learning curve
© 2016 Paul Taras Wolkowinski - INDIAN CLUBS and how to use them - www.indianclubs.com.au 11
I started to swing the clubs and made
reasonable progress but there was a
problem, a big problem
© 2016 Paul Taras Wolkowinski - INDIAN CLUBS and how to use them - www.indianclubs.com.au 12
I quickly discovered that my clubs were
too long and
too heavy
© 2016 Paul Taras Wolkowinski - INDIAN CLUBS and how to use them - www.indianclubs.com.au 13
This meant that I had problems executing
very basic movements

Which is why it is soooo important
for you to know…
