Excerpt from Club Exercises Some of the lessons will seem long, perhaps difficult, but to those I lead the teacher gradually, step by step, every lesson being a preparatory lesson for the following one, the same elements being repeated in a different form, and if the teacher will faithfully follow this method, he or she will not experience any difficulty even with those, which at first sight might seem difficult for ordinary class work.

Throughout world history the club has been utilized not only for combat but also for health restoration and strength development. Records of club use date as far back as ancient Egypt, with the practice reaching its peak at the end of the 19th century. Scott Sonnon, creator of the patented Clubbell®, has resurrected this ancient discipline through his own extensive research, experimentation, and personal practice. He has successfully integrated, evolved, and refined the club into one of the most "simply sophisticated" exercise approaches ever created -- the Circular Strength Training® (CST) System. Going far beyond the limited practice of old-style "Indian Clubs," the CST system contains a collection of nearly 100 proprietary Clubbell® Training Exercises. As part of this fitness movement, Coach Sonnon also created International Clubbell® Sport, which has attracted athletes from around the globe. Clubbell® Training provides a unique blend of functional, full-range, three-dimensional muscular development that stands in stark contrast to the problematic limitations of conventional two-dimensional linear training. Practicing this system revitalizes, reenergizes and reorganizes every unused and overabused cell in your body from head to toe, core to periphery, and bones to skin. Benefits of Clubbell® Training include increased metabolism for a day-long fat burn, the breakup of restrictive adhesions and calcium deposits around the joints, the release of bound tension, the generation of tremendous energy and vitality, increased bone density, and injury prevention. CST training promotes significant gains in strength, power, stamina, endurance, and general health and longevity. It is the most fun that one can possibly have exercising!
