Mark!!! Thanks a million for starting this series. As I mentioned to you in the last YT live, I‘ve been eagerly waiting for this! Can‘t wait for the SA program to come out! Again thank you for all the hard work! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
I ordered the fat handle ARC. Excited. That will be at home/travel. I have all my heavy clubs/maces/bells at work. Between these tools and those mini-mil Belleville’s…man…some good humaning hahah. After a year my feet do NOT like being in more standard shoes anymore. And yes. My back pain from 27 years of combat athletics feels pretty darn good.
Do you have any playlists for senior citizens (I'm 65) women in particular, who are 'deconditioned'-not overweight, just need to tone and increase flexibility. I love your style!
Question please: how do you go about redressing the imbalance, particularly a significant one? Obviously, the weaker side dictates the weight and number of reps. However, where there is a large strength differential between sides, that means, when your doing equal reps on both sides, your weaker side is working hard, but your dominant side isn’t doing much at all. Rather than wait for the sides to equalise, dominant getting weaker, while non-dominant gets stronger, can you work the weaker side more to catch up, or is there a reason not to do it that way? Sorry, I’m sure there’s a more succinct way of asking this question
Go light and embrace the process. Your strong side won’t depreciate that much if at all. Comfortably increase your volume (as you noted, dictated by weak side) and expand. You will increase what your body is comfortable with, making positive changes as you go. Nervous system efficiency and connective tissue adaption being the keys to success. Enjoy the process and change will come. Best to you.
This is nice and simple for a beginner as I am. I just realized that the tendency of my feet to slip around might be because I don't balance the club enough with the body movement. I will work on this until I can do it on ice! My favorite side swing is low to high. Because it's so nice having that kind of core work.
So that means 1H and 2H programs will work together? Like you finish the program with 2H on 15 pounds then you do the 1H on 15 pounds and only then you increase the weight again with 2H?
No, they‘re completely seperate programs each with their own set of exercises and math. Some of the exercises are similar though, like inside and outside circles, shield cast, pendulums and pull-overs.👍🏼
For anyone wanting to get into club swinging but unable to foot the bill for a club, here's a tutorial to make one using zero tools or technical knowledge. Go to your local hardware store and ask them where the angle iron is kept. It's probably near where all the bolts are. In that same area there will be lengths of thread bar. Usually in 2 or 3 foot lengths. A piece of 3/4th inch thick thread bard ran me about $30. Get 3 coupling nuts (extra long nuts, about 3 inches) for it, as well as 2 regular ones, and a whole bunch of the widest 3/4 inch washers you can find. The coupling nuts ran me about $5 each, regular nuts a little over $1 and the washers are something like $0.40. It takes approximately 15 washers to make a pound. I would also recoomend hitting up a sports supply shop and getting some hockey tape. The thread bar should have a pricing sticker on it. Leave that on, and thread the three coupling nuts onto it from the other end, spin them all the way across untill the first one spins across the price sticker. The extra material and adhesive will cause the nut to bind as its spun across the sticker, eventually locking it in place, spin the other 2 coupling nuts down tight against that and wrap them with the tape, including several extra passes at the outside end of the three nuts. This is now your handle and the extra bulge of tape will help avoid it slipping out of your hand. That whole assembly should weight around 3-4 pounds. At this point you can thread one of the regular nuts onto the far end of the bar. Spin it down far enough to add a stack of the washers to it. I would start with about 15, to add one extra pound. Then add the final regular nut, tighten the nuts towards each other to make sure they are secure, and you have a beginning adjustable club. Based on the one I've made and some rough calculations it should be possible to add up to 15 pounds before running out of room on the thread bar. By that point enough time should have elapsed to either find out that you love this and then save up for a proper club, or you'll have realized you don't want to keep this up and only be out something like $50. Probably less since this was all figured out in CAD instead of USD or Euro.
Do you want the same body turn with one hand as with two? At 3:20, you're touching the working arm with the free hand; I've used this as a cue to turn the body instead of just swinging the arm.
Mark - could you add a caption somewhere about the locations you shoot in? I know you mention them sometimes, but love your choice of locations and it'd be good to know each time you shoot.
Because we're trying to learn movement patterns. 2 hands means more control and less variables that can go wrong. So it's the quickest way to getting the proper feel.
Mark: I’m only going to buy one adjustable club. Do you recommend Wildman Arc or Wildman Club for versatility? Most work will be single arm and all about balance side to side.
@@MarkWildman beauty, thanks Mark. I have a sledge and Rogue SISU club that I can do a bit of 2-hand work with. Well done on these adjustable exercises implements. PS - let’s see you using that Assasin bow in action!
@@MarkWildman Thx for your fast reply! I have one of 12kgs thats a bit havier. I like the siple basic exercises that you show very informative. What is the difference between a heavy clubbel and a macebell of lets say 15kgs? Because then you are also training in the frontal plane, ain't that wright? thx in advance.
I cannot believe you've never said "squeeze your glutes!"
hope this means a 1 H club program is coming the near future!!
I found the footage for it.
Watching Mark's previous videos you can also program SH club for literally forever lol 💪💪💪
Just do the SaF 2 handed program with one hand. Works for me.
@@Travishibachi87 yea i have been doing them. just always like to see the programs/variations
Great video. Your delivery has been good from the beginning. It's better now. That is saying a lot.

Either the light is very bright, or Mark had some scotch whiskey last night. Which you should do if you’re gonna visit Scotland…
Many thanks!! Your instructions are always useful!!!
Now I know to avoid some weird mistakes!!!)))

could this be done with steel mace and get similar results? love the content.
yes

@@EnduranceRoom That’s very helpful, thank you so much! 😊😊
Is it just me or do you and Scotland have a thing going?
Can this be done with a kettlebell?
That room is making me want a cigar and bourbon.

I like this transition Mark from two hands to OH.

@@peterbruck4363 Thank you!
Simply epic! Display the results and explain how those results were achieved. Humanity on display.
you get about side to side and round the head
Curious, can you use a Bulgarian Bag as a substitute for club swinging ?
it mimics the rotation but not the stabilization. they also run on different tempos

Great great stuff thanks! Looks like everything I need to get into better and more balanced shape. Thanks again Jack for finding him for us!
That’s fun you get to hang out at an estate in beautiful Scotland 🏴

this was an estate on the west coast of Scotland across from Ireland
ill see about adding location in future video
@@MarkWildman Thanks!
Mr. Wildman, in the lounge, with the club.
So we are basically thumbs with bodies.
What kind of shoes are those?
Cool, I hope the parry and reverse parry cast will appear in this series
Thank you! So excited for this series!
Hi Mark, question I’ve been thinking about.. should you pack your shoulders or leave them in line with body. Please make a video on this
Your lat should definitely be engaged
@@MarkWildman thank you a million times.
So why is it "mandatory " to do double hand first?
Because we're trying to learn movement patterns. 2 hands means more control and less variables that can go wrong. So it's the quickest way to getting the proper feel.
Mark:
I’m only going to buy one adjustable club.
Do you recommend Wildman Arc or Wildman Club for versatility?
Most work will be single arm and all about balance side to side.
Mostly single arm I’d say club + 3d spacers
@@MarkWildman beauty, thanks Mark. I have a sledge and Rogue SISU club that I can do a bit of 2-hand work with.
Well done on these adjustable exercises implements.

@@wolfganggwd I ordered another one for the new warehouse
Great, how heavy is your club?
I think this adjustable adex is around 20 in this video
