Mugdar Training

One of my favorite tools - the Mugdar.

I found out about the Mugdar when I first started wrestling. I was immediately enchanted with this amazingly versatile and functional tool. While it looks basic and simple, anyone who has tried using this tool will be able to tell you it requires skill and focus to make full use of the Mugdar.

​

The benefits are not only physical - enhancing shoulder, arm and wrist strength, strengthening the joints etc - but Mugdar training is also like a moving meditation. When you really get into the fluidity of the movements, you reach a state of flow which is hard to describe.

​

Another thing I love about this equipment is that it is truly Indian. It dates back centuries and was used by our ancestors all over the country. This makes me feel like I am reconnecting with warriors of the past.

If you're feeling inspired, come and do a Mugdar session with me and find out for yourself. Sessions are at my gym in JP Nagar.
