This is one question i have not been frequently asked. Anyway, those of you who know about Clubbell swinging are bound to ask me this sooner or later.
Remember that i mentioned i had a shoulder injury. At that time my efforts of doing shoulder internal and external rotations were not producing results. I searched the net for effective physical training methods and one of the stuff i found was Clubbell swinging.
There was no Clubbell instructor in Singapore (i did not know about the 3 rings of Circular Strength Training (CST) at that time and importing the Clubbells was (and still is) expensive. So i made do with sledgehammers.
I started with a measly 6lb, then progressed to 8lb and 12lb. Hammer swinging is great stuff. It strengthens your whole body. It teaches you to integrate the whole body as a unit to manipulate the unwieldy club.
This was before i got started in kb lifting.
After i found the then only certified kb instructor Jonathan Boey, i went on to in depth study on kb lifting. Hammer swinging was relegated to the backburner.
Until it was in 2008 that a client and friend suggested that i do Yoga. I only knew that the conventional, commercial pop yoga may not be good to learn. So i discovered Prasara Yoga. And hey, Prasara Yoga was created by the guys at CST, so i immediately became interested in it.
Providentially a CST Instructor Certification (CST IC) was going to be held in Singapore just a few months away from then. I got in touch with James Lee, another Instructor candidate and got to learn Clubbell swinging first hand. I went for the IC and that was how i got serious into Clubbell swinging.
