New System of Indian Olub Exercise,

Indian Clubd within the laat 'cir yean
have become the most popular method of
developiof; the mnsclea of the body, and
keeping it in a healthy and vieorous state.
For in-door exercise there is nothing that
can compete with them, the czeroiae far ex-
celling the tedious motions required in using
Dumb-Bells, PuUey-Weinhts, fto., they be-
ing the same thing over and over again ;
while, with clubs, new motions, changes,
and combinations are continually entering
the mind, making it a source of pleasure, as
well as benetiting the system. All persona
whose avocations are of a sedentary nature
should devote a portion of their time each
day to 'his exercise, in the morning after
rising, and at theiir place of business, after
business hoars ; and they will soon find
themselves instilled with new life, i.nd thnt
labour, instead of being a burden, will be-
come a pleasure. These are facts, and some-
thing which all sensible persons will admit.

The Author is aware there has been i^nt-
ingone very important thing, and thai is, a
cheap and simple work on instruction in the
art of club swinging, thus enabling all classes
to possess themselves of it ; and, believing
himself capable in every way of giving a
•imple and accurate description of all the
most important motions, taking particular
care to word it in such a mano'er that it may
be easily understood by all, he respectfully
submits this work to all those tiiat wish to
perfect themselves in this art.

We will give our first attention to the mo-
tions with the single, it being very neceHsary
to learn these thoroughly tinit, as the motions
with double clubs are merely a combination
of them.

You will perceive, by the plates, that the
figure in each is represented standing with
the back toward the reader, for the purpose
of more clearly explaining the motions ; en-
abling the learner, while holding the engrav-
ing before him in one hand, to follow the
course of the club in the engraving with the
other, without reversing the motion, which
would be necessary if the figure faced the
reader. This method makes tnis the simplest
work in existence, and all persons who have

undertaken to learn from other works will
appreciate its value.

POSITION.

If convenient, toe a line on the floor ; if
not, imagine yourself toeing one ; and I
would wish particularly to impress u|ion your
mind that, in most all of the motions with
clubs, both siagle and double, the clubs ere
kept, while in motion, parallel with this
line. This is very neoeasary,as it adds greatly
to the gracefulness of the motions. The
heels a few inches apart, the feet will spread;
stand in an easy position, with the chest ex-
tended and chin slightly raised, the left arm
hanging by the side ; the club within the
right hand, with the knuckles outwards,
and the hand opposite the right breaat and
and a few inches from it, with the club per-
pendicular ; the elbow close to the side, the
body should be kept square to the front
In all of the following motions, it will be
understood, you are to start from this
position.

Learn all these motions thoronghly with
each hand. You merely reverse the motion
to perform them with the left. The first

THE WREATH.

This is one of themost important motions,
it being necessary to execute this in a great
many of others. You commence by raising
the right hand till it arrives about three
inches above the centre of the head, the
club leaning slightly towards the left ; then
dropping the club behind the back, pointing
to the left, being careful to keep it parallel
or pointing in the same dii^jtiun with the
line, and allowing it to describe a circle be-
hind your back, the centre being your hand,
which moves from the top of your head to the
back of your neck. Do not hang on the
club as if you were afraid of dropp-Dx it,
but when you start the circle give the clab
a jerk, and let the force and its weight carry
it around the circle. Aa the circle ia nearly

INDIAN CLUB EXERCISE.

swinging the club in a circle towMdn the left
in front of the body, and, when it reacbea
the left shoulder, bring the hand to the posi-
tion three inches above the head, keeping the
club horizontal, and then execute the Wreath
and the rest of the above motion over again.

Learn this thoroughly with both bands ;
with the left start the club towards the
right.

Plate V. shows the position of the hand
and club at arm's length to the right.'
Plate IX. shows the motion with the left
hand.

These five motions that I have just ex-
plained are the rive principal motions with
clubs, all the double motions being a com-
bination of them. They are, of course, a
number of twists with the wrists and
changes of the body, whieh some call mo-
tions ; but after you have thoroughly learn
ed these that I have given, the others will
soon come to you, and which I do not con.
sider distinct motions, and will only tend to
confuse instead of benefitting the learner.

We will now proceed with the double
motions. In almost all of these motions
there is one thing yon will find very diflS-
oult to overcome at first : that is, a tendency
for one hand to follow the other. You have,
of course, noticed by this time that, in ex-
ecuting the single motions with the right and
left hands, the club moves in opposite di-
rections, which they also do in their double
motions, moving independent of one another ;
hence,^ the difficulty of keeping them from
following one another.

The position of the body is the same.
Remember the line ; the left-hand club is
held in the same position as the right, the
left hand opposite the left breast ; and this
position, it will be understood, is the start-
ing-point of all these motions.

THE DOUBLE WREATH.

Start the right-hand club as explained in
the single Wreath, and follow with the left
when the right hand i«aches the back of the
neck, keeping up a continuous circle, not
bringing the hands back to the
breasts, but executing the motion alternately,
first right, then left, quickly. You may,
if yon wish, bring the bands back to the
position opposite the breosts at the end of
each circle ; but this will have to be done
much slower than the other. (See Plate
yi. ) _ The Hiotion is performed both ways.
This is considered oneof the best motions
for developing the muscles.

PUte VI. represents the position of the
hands and clubs while in motion, stopping
at the end of each circle.

THE SHOULDER TWIST.

This is not considered a double motions
and is only used in combination of other
motions.

THE DOUBLE HEAD CIRCLE.

In this motion you will find the difficulty
I spoke of, in keeping the clubs spart.
Start the right band as explained in the
sinccle motion (Plate III.), at the same
time executing the latter part of the motion
first (that is, the Wreath) with the left,
and then connecting it with the large circle.
Thus you see that one hand has the start
of the other, and moves independent of it.
If you practise this well you will soon get
the ' knack ' of keeping the clubs apart,
and will help you considerably in perform-
ing the other motions.

Plate YII, shows the position of the hands
and clubs as they start.

In this and all of the following engravings
you will notice I have not shown the course
of the left hand club, merely showing the
positions of the hands when the motion is
started, for the reason that, as both are the
same with the left and right, except moving
in different directions, it would tend to con*
fuse the learner. If you have been careful
to learn the single motion with the left as
well as the right Itand, you will find it very
easy tc comprehend the description given.

THE DOUBLE SHOULDER CIRCLE.

Start the right hand club as explained in
the single Shoulder Circle, Plate IV., and at
the same time execute the latter part of the
motion first (that is, the bhoulder Twist)
with the loft hand, and then connecting it
with the large circle. In this motion the
learner is very apt to face a little to the left
and right ; but there is no necessity of doing
so, and great care should be taken to avoid
it, as so doing throws the clubs off the line.

Plate VIII. shows the position of the
hands and clubs as they start.

THE DOUBLE EXTENSION.

Stark both clubs together. The right hand
commences as in the single Extension motion,
keening the club in motion as therein de-
scribed, and the left hand at the same time
being extended at arm's )ength horizontally
to the left, thus placing the two clubs for a
moment in a parallel position, then dropping
the left-hand club towards the floor, lulow-
ing it to describe a circle in front of the
body ; and then, when it reaches the left

ilesor.ption o! the motions. Having per-
formed this a few times, suddenly extend the
left club out at arm's length and describe a
circle in front of the body (keepintr the riuht
hand exeoutin« the Wreath), as explained in
tno 6uoulder Circle ; and when the club
reaches that portion of the Shoulder Circle
that reqnirej the execution o« the Shoulder
Iwist, let the two clubs come in nicely
together. This can be reversed the same as
rest.

KLBOW TWIST.

In this motion you twist the wrists, bring-
ing the backs of the hands square to the
front, throwing them each a, little outwards
to the right and left, keeping the elbows
close into the sides, at the same time drop
ping both clubs straight in front of you, not
allowing the hands to move from their posi-
tions, giving the clubs a jerk and causing
them to describe a circle. You mav start
both clubs together, or you may start one
ahead of the other. In this and the follow-
ing motions you do not keep the clubs
parallel with the line, but at right angles.

BACKWARD AND FORWARD SWING.

Let your right foot go to the rear of the
left about a foot, as you require a
brace in this motion. Commence by letting
the clubs both together fall over the should-
ers as far back as you can, bending the body

a little to lot them go well back, being care-
ful not to touch your back or shoulders with
the dubs or tlio irands ; then give them a
sudden jerk forwafd again at aim's length
letting tiieui go over the shoulders as betore,
Xim can aU„ ixecute this by allowing one
club » start of the other. This is a splendid
exercise for the chest.

ELBOW TWIST AND THE BACK-
WARD AND FORWARD SWING.

Let the clubs fall over the shoulders as de-
scribed above, and, after jerking them for-
ward ami when they reach a perpendicular
poaitum, you execute the Elbow Twist
These three last motions are gen- -ally exe-
cutad by lirst facing to the left ana perform.
iiig thtm, ami then facing to the right.

The learner will by this time
reaflly see that the first five motions
XV ^u^^o. I*7"«'Pa' ones-viz., The
\ye.-vth. Shoulder Twist, Head Circle.
Shoulder Circle, and Extension— find that
all the other motions are merely a combina-
tion of these ; and after having become mas-
ter of these with single and double clubs
you will find no difficulty in performiug any
other motions that any person may do ; and
also, with a little practice, you will be able
to connect a number of these motions to-
gether, not being obliged to stop at the ter-
mination of any one motion, but to execute
them one after anotliar, making a very pretty
aud graceful combination.

THE END.
