quick Iindian club swings

Here is a fast demo of what the Eastern Indians have been doing for years and a few people Identify this movementas the Sheik style of swinging. It seems the Iron Sheik a professional wrestler used to do this for television spots back in the 60's and 70's . This short swing is just one of many versions of club swinging and I have seen it done by both the Persians and India's physical cultural pratitioners . Kushti practitioners or wrestlers also incorporated this into their exercise routines. .
I breath through my nose while swinging these 20 lb clubs which were made of pecan wood by Revolution clubs. . Army

Great demo, I couldn't help noticing the massive club standing in the background, can you give some information about it, and I can't wait to see a demo. Keep the vids coming.

@taraswolkowinski s. The clubs in the back ground is a pair I just got today not even out of the the plastic yet. They weigh over 40 lbs each. I never ever practice this sheik style swing I just did it quickly to show how really easy it is . I personally like all the movements that incorporate the use of the club on many planes. I also like slower more controlled movements where you can do lots of repetitions not just 20-45 movements each hand.

@lphantman I agree the Iron Shiek swing is more a show piece, but it is fun to do once in a while. The light club version is great for practicing back circles insuring that one gets full wrist rotation, which is important for other drills. Regarding the shoulder casts aka Zurkhane style, the slower movements are great as you say, about four weeks ago I started doing a 30 minute set twice a week, didn't count reps, used 4.5 kilo clubs. Shoulders feel amazing.
