WHEELWRIGHT'S Iiq STRUCTIONS IN THE INLMAISI CLTJB EXERCISE. -•««' Indian Clubs within ...2 last few years have become the most popular method of developing the muscles of the body, and keeping it in a healthy and vigorous state. For in-door exercise there is nothing that can compete with them, the exercise far excellin- the tedious motions required in usmg Dumb-Bells, Pulley- Weights, &c., they being the same thing over and over again; while, with clubs, new motions, chan^ cs, and combinations are continually entering the mmd, making it a source of pleasure, as well as benefiting the system. All persons whose avocations are of a sedentary nature should devote a portion of their time each day to this exercise, in the morning after rising, and at their place of business, after business hours; and they will soou hnd them- selves instilled with new life, and that labor, instead of being a burden, will become a pleasure. These are facts, and something which all sensible persons will admit. The author is aware there has been wanting one very important thing, and that is, a cheap and simple work on t2>T^' '* INDIAN CLUU EXERCISER. instruction in tlie art of club-swinging, thus enabling all classes to possess themselves of it ; and, believing himself capable in every way of giving a simple and accurate des- cription of all the most important motions, taking particular care to word it in such a manner that it may be easily understood hy all, lie respectfully submits this work to all those tliat wish to perfect themselves in this art. We will give our first attention to the motions with the single club, it being very necessary to learn these thoroughly first, as the motions with double clubs are merely a combina- tion of them. You will perceive by the Plates, that the figure in each is represented standing with the back towards the reader, for the purpose of more clearly explaining the motions ; enabling the learner, while holding the engraving before him in one hand, to follow the -ourse 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 this the simijlest work in existence, and all persons who have undertaken to learn from other works Avill appreciate its value. t -• POSITION. * If convenient, toe a line on the lloor ; if not, imagine yourself toeing one ; and I would wish particularly to impress upon your mind tliat, in most a]l of the motions vith r-lt-hs both .ingle and double, tlu. dubs are kej.t, vAule in motion parallel with this line. This is very in.cessary, as it adds greatly to tne giact-fuljie.s of the motions. The hoels INDIAN CLUB EXERCISES. $ a few inches apart, the feet well spread ; stand in an easy position, with the chest extended 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 light breast and a few inches from it, with the club perpen. dicular ; 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. THE WREATH. This is one of the most important motions, it being neces- sary to execute this in a great many of the 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 ; the dropping the club behind tJie back, pointing to the left, being careful to keep it parallel or point- ing in the same direction with the line, and allowing it to describe a circle behind your back, the centre being your hand, which moves from the top of your hand to the b^.ck of your neck. Do not hang on to the club as if you were afraid of dropping it, but when you start the circle give the club a jerk, and let the force and its weight carry it around the circle. As the circle is nearly terminated, you twist your wrist to the right to keep the club parallel with the line, and then bring it over the right shoulder, stopping when the hand reaches its former position— that is, opposite the right breast. Do not at any time allow the hand to go below the shoul- der. After learning it with the right, change to the left. 6 ])o not imagliio, uftor you liave executetl it a few times, you are master of it ; fur, after trying one or two of the other motifms, you will be veiy likely Uj forget it. In the engraving (Plate I.), Figure 1 represents tlie posi- tion of tlio 'oody and the clul>?;, and Fig. 2 tlie position of the hand while exMicuting the Wreath, the course of the club bein^ sliov/n 1)y the dotted lines. 1 1 I lies, you he other lio posi- n of the the chil) Fig. 1.

Kaisothe hand till it arrives opposite tlio right ear, iu>d then twisting the wrist so that the thumb will be direetly to the right, and dropping the club towards the right behind the shoulder, releasing the elub with the three last fingers, merely holding it with the forefinger and thmnb parallel with the line, the hand moving a little below and back of the ear, and keeping it in that position, thus allowing the elub to clear the shoulder, giving it a jerk as described h, the Wreath, and allowing it to dereribe a circle, twisting the wrist to- keep it on the line as the elub passes around. At the end of the circle bring the hand back to the starting point. Plate II. shows the position of the hand and elub while executing the circle. 12 LVDIAN CLUB EXERCI8E.
