Clubbell Whole Body Conditioning with ZenKahuna & Dr. M 

One of the things I love about clubs, kettlebells and all the Tools of the Trade is that they are fun to play with and provide so many different options for whole body/whole person growth and evolution. ZK

Glad you like it. Give it a go and let me know how it works for you. ZK

People often ask us how we have developed the discipline to do our Primal Nature Play every single day for over 13 years. The answer is that we don't use discipline. We create so much joy, so much delight in how we move that it is the bliss that draws us to move each day. So we say that we have developed the "Blissipline" not the discipline. ZK

@@zenkahuna "Blissipline"- Genius!!

@@zenkahuna what is the weight of your club bell?

Thanks amigo. Most summers we get up to this spot in Idaho. One of our favored playgrounds. Stay strong brother.

If you are going to use steel Clubbells I generally start my students off with 5, 7 or 10 pound. If you are using wooden Clubs I start my students with 1 to 3 pound Clubs. BUT you should always listen to your body and use whatever weight allows you to do the various movements with good form. It is essential to learn good form first and only then increase weight or reps. ZK

I hear you my friend. I am glad that you used Clubs that were right for your personal level. I have lots of Indian Club videos on my channel. I hope you enjoy them. ZK

I hear you. We feel the same way. That is the Selway River at a place called Johnson Bar, in North Central Idaho. ZK

It is difficult to say without seeing you in person. Probably a 10 pound Clubbell would be a good weight to start with. When I teach clients I have them start with 1 to 3 pound wooden Clubs, then 5 pound Clubbell, 10 pound and upward. In PNP we focus on training the neurology, training the skills first and foremost. The weight increases in concert with the skills. ZK

@@zenkahuna Thanks very much for your detailed response! I've subscribed and will let you know in the future how I go. Kind regards.

Thanks for the comment David. I hope you will enjoy many of the videos on my channel. ZK

Always use what works best for you. ZK

If your forearms are "killing" you then it is likely that you are trying to control the Clubs with your grip rather than connecting to the core. ZK

@@zenkahuna thanks...ill get there eventually 👍

I was using a pair of 15 pounders and a 20. ZK

In north central Idaho where I play it is wonderful in the summer. But the cold weather there is too much for me. I like the heat of SoCal where year round I can train outside. ZK

I am using 15 and 20 pound clubbells.

You can watch over 500 videos on my channel for free. ZK

Hello Miguel. Welcome to my RU-vid channel. I too love using a sledgehammer (demolition hammer). I am not sure what is available in Argentina in the way of Clubbells. I would guess that a 10 or 15 pound Clubbell would be a good place to start. Learning how to swing a Clubbell correctly takes time. Going too heavy too soon is counter-productive. I began training with a 10 lb Clubbell 15 years ago. I had already learned Indian Club Swinging with 1 to 5 pound wooden Clubs. Ideal might be to get both a 10 and a 15 pound. Remember that you can use a Clubbell with one or two hands. Have fun learning the moves. ZK

@@zenkahuna Thanks my friend. After your video, y found some places where sold clubbells. All this training, macebell and clubbell are a bit underground here, but the people is learning about. I tray with a twelve pounds kettel and I can handle without problem. I will buy a twelve pounds clubbell and will tell you later. Regards and thanks again.

@@OldMike1958 That is great Miguel. A 12 pound clubbell sounds ideal. I hope you will enjoy my videos showing many moves that can be done with clubs. ZK

Cómo estás Miguel, yo también soy de Argentina, Buenos Aires. Sigo este canal hace mucho. Si bien tengo un par de Clubbells de hierro fundido de 10 kilos, me salieron bastante caras. Por eso también me hice varias propias de diferentes pesos utilizando otros materiales (cemento, caño galvanizado, pvc). Ánimos con tu entrenamiento, si querés info para hacer tus propias clubbells te dejo mi contacto agustin.n.florio@gmail.com. Saludos!

You can purchase Clubbells from RMAX International. Circular Strength Training. ZK

@@zenkahuna thanks!

The rancho burned to the ground in the big fires we had in southern California. So we have moved on and shoot vids wherever we happen to be. The whole world is our playground. We don't get attached to any one spot. ZK

That must have really taken some doing Dr M. So easy to say but I bet it took a lot of thinking to detach yourselves from what you had as the norm in your training lives. I admire your ability to remain detached for the future. You never fail to amaze me. Hope that others have been able to get a copy of your excellent book ' living healthy in an unhealthy world' if not get hold of a copy it is packed with useful information.

@@chrisslade5644 Thanks for commenting on my book. Even though it was published years ago, I still hear from folks who come across it in a used bookstore. To tell you the truth I still like to read through it. Often times I just flip to a page and read whatever is there. I love going back to basic over and over again to learn them at deeper levels. ZK
