An incredibly useful resource and this is real-world teaching. Many people are visual learners so actually watching you move, feeling the pace and then following along with you will speed up the learning process for many and cut down on avoidable mistakes. Excellent teaching.

I have had the pleasure to be coached in person by both Paul Wolkowinski and Kelly Manzone. Together we hosted an Indian Club and Gada workshop in San Diego, CA during the spring of 2019. The event was a brilliant introduction to proper Indian Club and Gada swinging technique. As a student and coach, I know that long term mastery of high-skill activities is equal parts practice and reinforcement of the basics.

Paul and Kelly’s production of Indian Clubs and How to Use Them has provided students with the framework for expert-level review and teaching points appropriate for both beginner and intermediate Indian Club enthusiasts. I can’t recommend this course enough. The level of detail in both the videos and manual display expertise for often difficult to learn techniques.

I can’t speak enough of the quality of content and visual aids that Level 1 Indian Clubs brings to the table. Paul and Kelly do a wonderful job at taking a high skill-based modality and breaking it down for the new user in a way that is not intimidating but approachable. The level of detail both written, demonstrated and visually shown in the videos is a great component to ensure great technique and confidence in learning the tool. Whether you’re a regular club swinger already or a trainer wanting to help teach your clients, this is a great resource to have on hand to solidify the basics and reinforce proper club usage. Personally, the attention brought to grip positioning via pictures and close up video shots is very useful and does a great service in reducing common pitfalls that swingers can fall into.

With Level 1 Indian Clubs, there is no reason to not know how to swing properly. Paul and Kelly set you up for success and for many years of happy swinging!

When I first began Mace (Gada) training, I often felt pain in both my elbows and shoulders. After carefully studying the Traditional Mace (Gada) and How to Use it, my pain points were clarified. Paul Wolkowinski and Kelly Manzone have expertly laid out the foundation for proper technique in movements like 180s, 360s, and 10 & 2s. I am especially impressed with the layout of learning the prerequisites of warm-up techniques and proper grip positions.

Today, many students jump into training without honouring the basics. Through this manual, any student can learn the structure around fundamentals that build the swinger, not break them. I highly recommend Traditional Mace (Gada) and How to Use It for both beginning and advanced level Gada swingers.

Indian club swinging is experiencing a resurgence in popularity, which is fantastic, but qualified instructors are scarce. The other option; spending many hours deciphering the old manuals by Kehoe, Lemaire, Cobbett & Jenkin and others, is not practical either. What Paul & Kelly have created is an invaluable and very affordable resource to start you on your Indian Club swinging journey. The course starts with a primer on “what are Indian Clubs” and their history, followed by a series of warm-up drills, and teaches you the basic swing mechanics, patterns and transitions that will allow you to start creating your own. What is brilliant about this course, is that it combines a thorough printable PDF manual with very easy to follow videos delivered in an approachable style, that are accessible on-demand 24/7. I can’t say enough good things about this course.
