Just wanted to pop in and say "Hi" and let Rheinhardt know that I think his idea was great! I came across his webpage recently while researching Indian Clubs thru google. It hadn't occurred to me to use a good old fashion sledgehammer as a conditioning tool. But, thinking along these lines I thought "why not use hammers instead of Indian Clubs?" So when I made my trip to Home Depot to buy my sledgehammer, I bought a pair of 4 lb hammers to give this a try as well. I like the sledgehammer workout and the various exercises suggested on the website, but haven't really tried the smaller hammers yet. Is anyone else doing "Indian Club-like" exercises with hammers?
I'm a long-time martial artist in both eastern and western systems. I do western pugilism (old bare knuckle boxing), and the shovelglove system really appealed to that nostalgic side of me.
