Description
Each club is hand-turned from a single piece of walnut timber by craftsman within a charity organisation that supports over 400 villages in southern India, whom BMF supports. In addition, we donate 10% of production costs to the charity. Due to the nature of wood there is a variation in density and colour. We pair our clubs according to weight first and aesthetics second.
These clubs are sourced from solid walnut logs and as such, carry a small risk of small cracks appearing. These are considered cosmetic and can be easily fixed using wood glue. Should your clubs display excessive splitting, then please let us know if this happens and we can work out a solution. Follow this link for inforation on care and maintenance.

Purchased the BDX as my 1st clubs, which was a mistake. After reading Paul’s blog on starting out with clubs, I bought a starter set and packed the BDX away. Now after working on my technique and following along with some videos by Body Development, I’ve started using them and they are great. Well made and challenging.

I was a little concerned how long it would take to ship to the USA However the clubs shipped within a few days and arrived a few days later, very impressive. Equally if not more impressive was the clubs once i did receive them. The look amazing and they feel great. I am very happy with the BD-X clubs and i will be purchasing again.

My lord. Just received my order. Absolute works of art. Ive been using Indian clubs and maces for years now but these are my first true pair of meels and they are stunning, as is the larger club. Had them opened within minutes of Fedex arriving.
Thank you so much for the fast shipping and beautiful products.

Wonderful clubs. They are well balanced and a joy to train with. These clubs look and feel like they have been made by an expert craftsman. They are far superior to wooden clubs I have purchased from other outfits. I wish I had found BMF sooner. I will be coming back for more.

Superb clubs both in handling and craftsmanship. Like the above reviews, I to have some steel clubs and these wooden ones are of much better quality and feel. The vintage look is an added bonus for me as well personally. I’ll definitely be making the most use out of these clubs. Well worth the buy.
Also, customer service has been brilliant ?

Thank you Kyle, we aim to please 🙂

Beautiful clubs – the long, thick handle makes them great for single-hand work, and the perfectly balanced pair are a joy to use for double club work.
I’ve been using steel clubbells for a couple of years, but these are so much much smoother to use… obviously lighter, but with longer sessions and more reps I feel just as worked out! The shape of these lend themselves to heavy indian club work, meel casts and also modern clubbell movements so well.
Also excellent service from BMF, friendly and helpful and the clubs arrived with me supernaturally fast!
Well worth the money for well made, honest and beautiful tools to last a lifetime.

The long handle makes these perfect for single-club work where you’re passing the club from hand to hand (like you would with a karlakattai). Also, the overall length is just right, especially for short people like me: I can do straight-arm pendulum swings without whacking my feet!
Plus the wood is gorgeous, as always.

Thick handle, very well balanced.
A great substitute for persian Meels if you think 2kg are a bit too lightweight and 3 kg could be a bit too much.
I use them for heavy club excercises as well as for the classical Persian Meels movement of lifting them behind the back; I am 57 years old and weigh 74 kg.
And of course I use them instead of steel clubs swinging – feeling much better.
The pair I received is very well balanced, say the weight difference is very, very small.
