The ancient Indian knowledge and practices in many aspects of life are undeniably scientific and must be bought back in today's lifestyle, the colonization has taken away so much from us and I hope that we can restore that knowledge system.
@Vedangi_ “The ancient Indian knowledge [...] restore that knowledge system.” =================== If ancient Indian knowledge-by which you probably mean so-called TAN-TANAATANI knowledge-was so much greater than others’ knowledge, how did TAN-TANAATANIs end up getting ruled over by outsiders 100s of years?
From Burning of Nalanda by islamic looters to appointing Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, as India's first Education Minister, it's all been intentionally done to destroy ancient vedic knowledge and culture, I think what we have are left with today is merely 10-15% of the original vedic knowledge.
@@ex.hindu.now.atheistbecause our kings were fooled there where many kingdoms in indian that time they keep fighting with each other so British took benefits of that they ally with other kingdom to defeat big kingdoms. And which religion you belong to Cuslim or rich big ?
Very true my grandpa also use to do that .l have see them they were much bigger then these and called mugadar in local language. Really proud of our ancestors
My father used to workout in akhada and used to climb stadiums stairs and that man is build like machine his shoulders are massive even after years of not picking any weight and he is still fit to this day .
I used to use the gada, then later I switched to boxing. Then I started wondering how to build rotational strength for more power in punching, and I realized that gada is actually perfect. Old time boxers would chop wood with an axe or hit tires with a sledgehammer, but the gada can work the same muscles very well.
@@adtgaming8101 Yes, and so are the clubs. OP clearly meant western style weights. The genius of Indian weights is just to use leverage as a force multiplier. As the ancient Greek mathematician Archimedes said, "Give me a me a lever long enough and a place to stand, and I can move the Earth."
Man, Indian warriors must have been absolute units to be able not only carry those around but actually fight with them. Imagine the arm strength needed to move that on a kill speed.
@@JayKay-jr7vbyeah that why after muslim invasion and British Christian conversion we are still Hindu lol we fight with pride not by playing cheap tricks.
not only its great weight training. but also real movements for acurate muscle development, its very important to build the stabilizator muscles. this prevents injuries and gives so much strength
@RedBlackDish @RedBlackDish I'm very confused as to what you mean by that. You can get repetitive motion injury from light weight by over use without proper rest, but tearing connective tissues usually occurs when you grow muscle and strength faster than your connective tissues can adapt. Or whenever you perform a movement without proper form and things bend or strain outside of the proper range of motion. How do you tear tendons by a lighter weight within your strength range? I do not mean any insult, I am curious as a student of strength, I've suffered many injuries from pushing myself too hard and have had to learn how to heal injuries, which usually involves using a lighter weight than what the muscle can handle as to take it easy on your tendons and build them back up.
@@Theleaderoftheninja How tearing would occur: a relatively light weight will apply unreasonable high torque to wrists. Not only that, but the torque will be applied to an axis that has few and relatively weaker tendons (the same axis in which you wave "hello"). At the same time, the lever effect doesn'treally affects your biceps and triceps, because it is applied perpendicular to their axis of motion (for them, it is as good as moving a 5 kilo dumbbell). It will affect shoulders, but it will the same as doing push-ups on your pinkies: pinkies will break long before your arms get even close to getting tired. Just here it will be your wrists instead of pinkies.
@@venberd Not "Mughals", I spell "Mudgal" which is an Indian name for these wooden exercise instrument verry commonly used by traditional Indian wrestler for exercise, and in English you call it as Mace.
@@adamhenry6116grip strength can be trained by gripping the bar as hard as you can, you will see that every excercise is easier if you really squeeze your hand. Especially bench press. For forearm gains towel pullups are king, better than any isolation (which you should still include). Also fatgrips to train your forearms on every pull movement
100% agree with this.. Normal Gym weights are very easy as compared to these maced.. they're super difficult and build ALL your major and small muscles
Malla-yuddha (Sanskrit: मल्लयुद्ध, IAST: mallayuddha) is the traditional form of combat-wrestling originating in India.[1] It is closely related to Southeast Asian wrestling styles such as naban and is one of the two ancestors of kushti. Indian wrestling is described in the 13th century Malla Purana.
@@karlali7155you talking about the form of kalariputtu , it was when Alexandre came and it evolved in North and in Himachal Pradesh, the hilly mountain regions the battle were glorious
@@cringekiller348 no , kalri is older , but the evolved version is around 2200 not more than that. It's just that roots are much older , around 7000 years give or take
The beauty of swinging clubs is in simplicity, and with experience and some innovation, club exercises deliver amazing results you never thought possible
This was used in training & strengthening the muscles involved in Talwar sword use. The excercises made Indian swordsmen the most feared & respected warriors by the colonial British military officers. The amount of cutting force Indians could put through their Talwars was incredible.
Maybe not much to look at by our modern body builder aesthetician standards, but knowing that their form was built with weight function like this.... those guys weren't cut from a different cloth, they were forged in a different fire!
@@jimvenanzio6561They didn’t do the low carb, high protein powder routine…those MF’ers ate like horses and worked out like this…would be terrifying to have someone who trained like this chopping at you with a sword.
Those were standard exercise equipment in America and Europe a hundred years ago. Not as big as that guy has, but Indian clubs were still in use in 1950 in military fitness. As others have said, they are still used in India. American juggling clubs evolved from them, and club-swinging is a juggling thing. If you look in antique stores, you might be able to find some. Bowling pins sort of work. Depending on your hardware store, you might be able to buy replacement cant-hook handles.
How much can you curl with your biceps? In terms of weight. For 8-10 reps. 3 sets. I'm not an arm wrestler but I wanted to know how I compare. I've heard that technique is unbelievably important in that sport.
@@greatarabia8091the reason people that arm wrestle use this is it strengthens tendons and movement of joints. youre not just working out biceps. id say its actually more of a forearm workout and grip strength. also why the handles are kept so wide to nake it harder to grip. theyre nice equipment becuz you can do a lot of different exercises in a single small item.
Right, Most armwrestlers dont train normal curls but other variation. If you Train Bodybuilding, you can maby Beat an armwrestler curl wise.@@greatarabia8091
You got the pain because you built the muscle in work, where you can't control the pace so much. Try it at home, slower, more controlled. I used to use cast iron skillets for forearm exercise
I think a huge part of that strength increase comes because this directly focuses on stability, primarily and range of motion so you’re staying loose and limber while you’re also strengthening your stabilizers, and we all know when you lift heavy you’re only a strong as your weakest link, and if you have bad stabilizers, you’re not gonna lift heavy unless stabilized for you
I ditched my dumbells for a set of Indian clubs. My Indian neighbours moved to England and I helped them move in and as a thank you I was given 20 clubs of various weights. I've used dumbells for almost a year to build up my forearms and arms shoulders but progress was slow. When using the Indian clubs just the feeling of the muscles was better I could feel them working harder and I'm really happy 6 months on and I've a massive improvement in forearm size strength. If possible gyms should invest in them or anyone should.
I still use dumbbells as well to build forearm strength, but I use them differently than anyone I have ever seen. I start with the weight on the floor, my arms at an angle, palms out, and I place just my fingertips under them. I then curl my fingers rolling the weight up into my hand then transition to curling my wrist, then elbow. I also typically use lighter weights than alot of guys, but alot of slow reps. Sometimes hundreds with 20lbs. while watching a movie. In fact one time when hosting a UFC party one of the guys got there early and saw me doing it. He gave me crap about wasting my time and told me all about how much weight he uses with the typical method. Later in the night he wanted to arm wrestle so I did. It was over in seconds and he was in shock. That turned into me having to arm wrestle every guy there over and over both right and left handed. I never fatigued and I didn't lose once, not even close. Several of the guys there were coworkers. We were millwrights, so we did everything. Steel work, concrete, rebuilt gearboxes, worked on machinery, welding, etc. Anyways after that night, every maintenance day after the work was done and we were waiting for the mill to start back up, the guys would come up with strength contests for everyone to try just so they could see what I was capable of. I am not a small guy 6' 2" typically 195 or so, but we had some really big guys there that couldn't do the feats of strength those guys would come up with. Before that period I had no idea that I had a different kind of strength. I just knew that I trained very differently than the big guys that went to the gym every day.
Unrelated to strength, years ago I moved out of my apartment and everyone who was supposed to help bailed. My downstairs neighbors were two Indian families, and the two guys helped me move everything. I offered them money, but they flat refused and said it's about friendship, nothing more I still think of them 25 years later. Good on you for being that guy for them. Fk the news, there's still good in the world
@@Sujay95 in the west were so used to being told to use dumbbells and we see bodybuilders doing so but their ok for somethings but they've nothing on the Indian clubs my forearms are growing bigger ever since I got them and my awesome Indian neighbours had their grandad round a few days ago and he did Kalaripayattu for decades and even as a 78 year old his arm wrist shoulder strength is that of a 30 year old I kid you not I can handle myself but he'd give most men half his age a good ass whooping. He kindly took time out of his day to teach me techniques and exercises I can already feel a difference. Indian martial arts are overshadowed by Eastern Asian martial arts sadly Indian martial arts are brutal extremely effective and im now going to research the various ones Kalaripayattu and Malla-yuddha which is amazing. These clubs are the way forward they've been around since the 5th & 7th century AD dumbells compared to clubs have been around for 5 to 7 minutes lol 😆
And that one person was Bob Backlund. Shiek was in the ring challenging anyone in the arena to do it. Backlund came out to accept the challenge and much to everyone's surprise, he did it. The segment was not scripted, and even Backlund himself said he wasn't sure if he would be able to do it, but he gave it a try anyway. Shiek was so impressed that he gifted him two pairs of the clubs and told him, "If you did that in my country you would be a god."
I used to think these were BS but my boxing coach said if you want to do a good full body strength workout all you need is some clubs and some kettlebells, after 20 minutes he showed us why and i never doubted him again lol
Warriors and wrestlers from the old world , such as India , Iran , and Turkiye , have used this kind of strength training for centuries . They have been known for their strength and skill for centuries .
Just swing these things in different ways in a hard enough intensity until exhaustion. Do it consistently year in year out. There's no need for a program. It's an excuse. But maybe you can try doing 30:30 interval. 30s work, 30s rest.
I am sure there's quite a few. I would add these with calisthenic type workouts or even basic bodyweight (push up, pull up) for fully organic training, or perhaps do a full weight training with other normal Gym equipment.
I seen the iron sheik throw some really big clubs around. They were similar to these but i feel like they were much bigger. He called people out from the crowd to swing them around in a certain fashion he demonstrated. Nobody could seem to do this. Very cool to see this video. Reminded me of that time.
I have practiced these Mudgals for about 8 years at my home, practicing with a pair of 25 kg Mudgals used to feel like 70-80 kgs to me, long term practice can give you a very good physique.
My dad has one of these, bigger than this, i used it a few times when i was a teenager, had a massive shoulder growth, i ended up with stretch marks on my shoulders.
I do this with dumbbells. Hold dumbbells in strange positions and you feel a whole different weight. And moving then can be very heavy and a great training
That’s amazing I use 2 steal pistons from a bulldozer 18 pounds each I am tai chi Qigong master trained in the Beijing mountains . Chin style Bagua eagle claw etc I prefer the healing side not combat but I do both and I teach both ☯️
You just named a bunch of useless martial arts that can't be applied in the real world, that you wasted years of your life learning them in China, makes it even worse because you've been duped.
@@drewnelson8692 I wish I did too I’m getting the new iPhone and hopefully learn on my own and get rolling with it to share my knowledge with everyone I am all about getting younger and helping people get younger I work with Vietnam vets and holistic children young people and old people all ages
Cow bells filled with oil and shot with the bottom sealed off. Used in kung fu is really good for your grip strength. For different strength training as well. These are good for martial arts training.
Interesting! I can see that would be great for baseball because of batting and also for glove work because of strength needed. Just great all around, I want a set!
This are a cheat code for people who want to do pull ups. And yes it helps a lot in pull ups. I tired for one month while not doing pull ups at all. a month later I was able to do full 5 pull ups easily. Not perfect pull ups but I was able to do perfect 5 in few weeks. It trains you forearms, core stability and back at the same time..
Unironically I use a 10lb, 5ft sized sword and its done so much in terms of returning my core and shoulders. It makes so much sense. Can't wait to buy two of these.
I heard OG bodybuilders say injurys are more frequent now because people train on machines which are much inferior to free weights, you only use selected muscles which makes you weaker overall
He basically just gave an example of how an objects rotational inertia is related to the distance from the objects center of mass to the axis of rotation
@@sleepyallnight6452 basically saying that if you hold a sledgehammer at the edge it'll be harder to hold upright than if you hold it in the middle, because the distance is higher so the torque increases (force×radius)
I used to do this with sledgehammers, and you wouldnt believe the strength 8 had in my arms,hands,forearms , shoulders, my gripping and punching power became insane after a yr of doung this, after 5 yrs i was breaking bones in people's faces and ribs like it was nothing when i would strike . Very very scary power and needed to be used properly
@@brianfitch5469 i worked as a pipe fitter/plumber, and havac mechanic, we was always using smaller hand held 4 lbs and 20 pound sledges, amd jackammers,, and hilti hammer drills, side drills, amd threading black galvanized pipe for gas lines , I used a 20 lb sledge to work out with, you hold it at the bottom a handgrip up from bottom edge and you hold it chest level straight out and lower the top slowly to your head nose area, BE. CAUTIOUS ..... If you haven't got good muscle control it will get half way and smash right into your nose /face area ,I've seen a lotta guys young n old lose bets and have stitches or broken nose or teeth , but I will say this man using this to do straight outs and lowers and side twists of the arm and forearms after 3 months you will see a HUGE change in punching/gripping, and strength over all in your arms your shoulders biceps triceps, forearms ,all of em. It's truly amazing ,I trained in boxing and Shoalin Kenpo jujitsu when I was doing this and working yrs in those trades in my 20s and dude my job and using those hammers my life was a work daily ,it was like i was getting paid to get ripped. And ya axes aren't no joke either I'm from Maine and half my family are loggers/woodsmen and those boys (MEN) are some RUGGED FU@$ERS..
Add some progressive and weighted calisthenics in and you’ll find a nice blend of the aesthetics and mass. Your movement quality will only help your gains 💪
dude, great point. you can very intensity without adding or removing weights, plus I can this having more exercise applications than barbells. I used to use the leverage principle when I didn't have weights back in college. I would grab the back of a chair with both hands we had in our apartment to to do curls. As my strength improved, I gradually moved my hands further up the back to increase the intensity. Did the same thing with a bat, rotating in circular motion, one arm at a time to strengthen grip, forearm and wrist. gradually over time holding bat closer to end of handle to increase intensity as my strength improved. Love these clubs, going to give them a try, thanks for the training info! 👍😎👍
all of the added leverage is experienced on the first joint it encounters... training the heck out of your grip and forarms but its the same 5kg for every other muscle
Maharana Pratap, regarded as one of India's mightiest warriors, earned immense respect. He stood tall at 7 feet 5 inches and wielded an 80-kilogram spear alongside two swords that weighed a combined total of approximately 208 kilograms. This is Indians real warrior Information source - biography and same thing copied in internet
did ypu even read the comment he was 7.5 inches and 280 kg of mucles do you bigger than any strong man you dont have any idea how much strength a bif dued can have @@ribeyesteak9641
naah man i dont think so ....like the guy weight around 140 kgs also he was 7 feet 5 it might be true also he was on a horse so you dont feel that much weight since you can take the balance too@@ribeyesteak9641
@@el7284don't use dumbbells. All these excercise machines and items only train one or a couple big muscles. You'll get bigger muscles and become stronger but only in the direction you're training. Climbing or bodyweight calisthenics give you more usable muscles. And training the entire body evenly gives you more core strength and stability, and less injury.
