You can swing clubs up to 50, 60, 70 pounds.
But you're interacting with a different type of tool, which is the leverage is all the way away from you.
So when you're holding it, it feels difficult on your hands and wrists.
Jujimufu.
It's the coordination of the body and the lack of excessive amounts of tension in the muscles when doing those movements, which is one of the strengths of these practices.
These clubs and maces, what they allow you to do is they allow you to work on the natural throwing patterns of your scapula and shoulder in
in pattern with your spine and your feet, right?
So you notice like club work isn't just hands, it's feet.
The feet are rooted and you're rotating through your hips and your spine is rotating.
And if you hold too much tension, you're not even gonna be able to get this over your head.
So you also need to have a level of mobility and lack of tension within these tissues so you can throw.
Like a good thrower doesn't, have a bodybuilder throw a ball and see what it looks like.
Then you look at an athlete, a muscular athlete, throw a ball, and they know how to get something to another side and throw.
That guy- Oh, is that Larry Wheels?
That's Larry Wheels right there.
Larry Wheels, yeah.
And Larry, again, Larry's a cool dude because this guy, man-
God, he's huge.
He's huge.
But he tries different things, man.
