About TAP Melee Club | Alternative To A Steel Mace Used
The TAP Melee Club is patterned after the “Gada”, a traditional swinging device akin to the Indian club (TAP Bell Club). The device is an excellent tool for rotational movement training, PNF movement patterns, and other core training exercises. The unbalanced design of the Melee Club makes it intentionally awkward to handle, challenging the athlete as it is moved through exercise patterns requiring core stability, balance and coordination while developing strength and power. The unbalanced loading of the Melee Club can be used for unilateral and offset exercises to address (or prevent) muscle imbalances from developing. Muscle imbalances can happen for all kinds of reasons, sometimes simply because the non-dominant arms and legs are used less in every day. Athletes who play baseball or golf, for example, may produce muscle imbalances because they use a dominant side to throw or swing. Fitness enthusiast may develop muscle imbalances by relying on their naturally dominant side to push through heavy lifts or intense movements. Unbalanced load exercises with the Melee Club can improve stabilizer muscle function and address asymmetrical muscle development while creating strength by increasing the work load of the out-of-proportion body part to help bring it into symmetry. Movement patterns utilizing the TAP Melee Club can improve strength, agility, and balance. The unique design of the Melee Club provides the possibility of many different multi-planar movements. Resistance swings can be performed behind the back and overhead in several different movement paths to strengthen the shoulders, arms, and grip while strengthening the core. The two main movements for the Melee Club are the 360 and 10-to-2 and called the Gada Swings. The leveraged resistance provided by the Melee Club can be altered by hand position on the handle: the farther away the hands are from the load, the heavier the load will seem during exercise; the closer the hands to the load (‘choking up’
