Indian Club And Gada Workshop

The Gada (mace) and how to use it A one day workshop presented by Paul Taras Wolkowinski and hosted by John Parker and Mesa Rim Climbing and Fitness. This is the most fundamental and in-depth Traditional Gada (mace) workshop available in a single day. This workshop is ideal for newcomers to the Gada (mace) and also those who have been training but want to refine and perfect their technique. Swinging a Gada (mace) is a full body workout that will strengthen your back, chest, core, shoulders, forearms, and grip. Swinging the Gada (Mace) is a Mental and Physical Challenge, it is clumsy, unbalanced and intended to be difficult to handle. The Indian Club content in this workshop is highly focused on transverse turns, thoracic mobility and grip changing which are prerequisites to understanding the mechanics of Indian Clubs and the Gada (mace), as there are many crossover points and common threads in the two disciplines.
