Excerpt from Club Swinging for Physical Exercise and Recreation
Only the most expert performer wil approximate the mastery of the clubs; the combinations are so numerous and difficult that one must be a specialist to even stand on the threshold of complete knowl edge of the thousand and one movements. A limited use of the gray matter will enable one to learn many movements without a teacher, especially ii' he has a book like this at his elbow. The simple circles made with wrist or arm either in' front of or back of the body above the head, at the shoulders or waist to reel, follow or double time, will open a field for work that is very hard to cover.
