My Power Club

A Mudgar also known as a Gada, Mugdar, or Indian clubbell is a traditional Indian strength training tool with an uneven weight distribution that's swung, lifted, and rotated to build functional strength. Because of that off-center weight, a single Mudgar workout develops grip strength, improves flexibility and joint mobility through swinging and circular movements, and sharpens mental focus and mind-body coordination. It's a full-body tool: swings and presses engage your shoulders, core, back, arms, and legs in one continuous movement which is exactly why generations of Indian wrestlers and warriors trained with it long before "functional fitness" became a modern buzzword.

Beginners should generally start in the 5–10kg range and gradually increase weight as they become comfortable with the technique. At MyPower Club, our Beginner's Kit follows this exact principle a 5–6kg Mudgar, 7–8kg Hanuman Gada, and 8–10kg Samtola so you can build proper control before progressing to our Advanced Kit (6–7kg Mudgar, 9–10kg Gada) or heavier Hanuman Gadas up to 20kg. Because these tools generate torque rather than just straight-line resistance, they'll always feel heavier than a dumbbell of the same weight so starting lighter than you think you need is the safer, smarter approach.

Neither replaces the other they train different qualities. Mudgar training improves movement quality while gym training builds strength capacity, and the two work best as complements rather than competitors. Dumbbells are better for isolating and progressively overloading a single muscle at a measurable pace. A Mudgar or Gada, on the other hand, forces your core, shoulders, and grip to work together at once, building the kind of functional, real-world strength that a fixed dumbbell path can't replicate. If your goal is raw muscle isolation, stick with weights if you want strength, mobility, and coordination in one tool, traditional Indian equipment is hard to beat.

Yes. The mudgar targets multiple muscle groups especially the core, arms, shoulders, and legs and the swinging, lifting, and rotating movements engage those muscles to promote strength, endurance, and muscle growth over time with consistent training. It won't build muscle in exactly the same way as heavy barbell lifting, but for functional strength, grip, and a more athletic overall physique, it's a proven, centuries-old method not a fitness fad.
