Today we’re going to go through another fundamental Indian club exercise.
The Alternating Outside Mill is a continuous outside mill performed on both sides of the body.
Similar to last week’s video but we’re performing an outside elbow circle instead of an inside elbow circle.
Instructions:
- Begin with the clubs in the front stack position (elbows tucked to ribs, wrist is neutral, knuckles facing up). Stand tall and relaxed.
- With one club perform an outside elbow, sword in sheath and pause in the Y position.
- This is your beginning position which starts the movement.
- As one club is swinging down, perform an outside elbow circle with the other Indian club.
- Pause and check you’re in the correct position. With one Indian club in the front stack position and one club in the Y position.
- Remember the cues from the inside mill video; outside elbow circle, sword in sheath, cast to Y position, swing down and back into the front stack.
- As you become proficient in the movement you can increase your speed, every now and then, stop and make sure your timing is correct.
