Persian Meels

Persian Meels are a style of club used in the old Persian Empire in sports clubs called Zurkhaneh, which means ‘HOUSE of POWER’. The clubs are heavier compared to Indian clubs. The shoulder casting of the club is technically challenging and takes years to master and to fully appreciate. 

Persian Meels swings are cast alternately around the shoulders, sometimes with a quarter turn of the body. The cast is rhythmic, invigorating and a dance of skill and coordination.

My recommendations for starting out:

• Start light: 3kg to 4kg each
• Only increase the weight once you can achieve 100+ reps non-stop with good form
• Increases in weight should be no more than 1kg at a time
• Drop back to lighter Meels when learning something new, such as outer casts
• Practice daily and relish the moment
