Description
Karlakattai kushti karlai clubs have a thicker grip diameter – as compared to regular Indian clubs or Persian meels – and this adds to the level of effort required swinging them. We always advise starting off with smaller clubs due to the high repetitions and necessity to refine your technique with a lighter size first, regardless of your peceived strength. Some of our heavier kushtis of 8kg and heavier may now have a lead core, so the displaced centre of mass will be greater than expected)!
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 help the charity as well as their tree planting. Due to the nature of wood there is a variation in density and colour.
These clubs are sourced from solid walnut logs and as such, carry a small risk of small cracks appearing. These are considered cosmetic due to the nature of wood and can be easily fixed using wood glue. Follow this link for inforation on care and maintenance.
Ashley Briscoe –
Absolutely beautiful clubs, I went for the heavier size due to experience but these will give me a workout for the rest of my days. Beautiful craftsmanship, great care taken with oiling.
Wish I came here first. Don’t hesitate. Owner is really responsive as well.
