James Podcast -
Indian Club Instructor
This podcast was all over the place. It was a great time. Got off topic a lot.
What is an Indian club? What is it used for?
They came from a bottle. Wine or perrier bottle.
Indian clubs, persian meal, jori are all variations of clubs
Ryan Pitts mace maces look amazing. I must chat with him about getting a GLG mace and club option.
Chatting about different coatings on clubs. Shellac is merely a resin that is secreted by the lac bug. It can be processed and then sold as dry flakes. It can then be used as a brush-on colorant and most commonly as wood finish. Varnish, on the other hand, is a protective finish or film that is very hard and is also used in wood finishing.
Indian clubs ( https://us.greatlakesgirya.com/collections/rotational-strength-training-tools) are bat shaped or bowling pin style clubs that are typically used in a group setting that are a cross between calisthenics and juggling. Club Swinging was born. Keeps you mobile well not decreasing performance by not over fatiguing.
Great for people who need to keep mobile and use their bodies in potentially life saving interventions.
How James got into clubs.
Get good communication skills then learn how to fight. If one doesn't pan out.. You have a backup.
Fundamentals - not needed to start. Just get going.
You're not broken. If you can still move. Figure it out.
If you're a coach. Have the fundamentals sorted. Whatever you teach to someone you better know you're doing it properly.
Working through injuries in my mind set. If it hurts too much don't do it. Simple.
Chatting about being a new trainer. Taking any client you can take. Gotta do what you gotta do. ( Take whatever clients you can )
The magic tricks are to show up, do the work and get it done.
Nerve flossing. Good stuff with Indian clubs.
If you take courses don't drop the program your client is on and start applying all the new tools you just learned from the course. Stay focused on your clients goals.
Beer, Bacon and Brownies ( 97% open rate) not clickbait.
Clubs can help people calm down peoples systems. Great for getting people started with movement.
“Move towards better everyday, get strong , stay strong and don’t fucking quit. '' James Neidlinger Quote.
