Getting Clubbells soon, need some quick answers

[sephiroth]

After about a year of contemplating buying them
i have decided to invest in some clubbells next month or so.
I have a few questions:

1) I am getting a pair of 15s and i also want a larger bell
for two handed work. Should i go for a 25 or is it better
to work with the bruiser with two hands?

2) On the buying page on this site when i click on
the two handed clubbell dvd the ABC Manual page loads up.
Are these the same product or do they use the same ideas?

3) Just wondering if the big book of clubbell training covers
all of the training idea's and routines in the original book like
density training and the phi sequence etc.

4) Does Prasara have a place in a boxers routine? I mean
i have been doing body flow like screw ups, rock ups, quad Hops
and neck rolls, can Prasara be used as a step up or an advanced
version to replace those drills?


P.S Sorry for all the questions

Hi Michael,

I'll take stab at your questions.

1) Clubbell® weights are very dependant on the person. The only person I've seen pick up 15 lb Clubbells® for the first time and feel really comfortable with them was a master swordsman. Impossible to recommend without knowing how 'burly' you are.

I'd order the lighter ones first, then depending on your experience in the first few weeks/months with those - it can give you a better sense of whether to go with a 25 or say 35 for the heavier/two handed work.

2) These are the same product - renamed.

3) I don't know for sure all the contents of the Big book. I'd say it's a matured/ evolved/ expanded version of the first book.

4) I'd say Prasara has a place in any Martial Artist life - regardless of specific discipline. Getting in 'flow without thought' transcends arena.

Hope this helps,
C-

Morning Tristan,

Get on the phone and give Matt over in Adelaide a bell - he can answer lots of your questions and get you well and truly sorted.

He is a good bloke.

Cheers
