Gada / Indian Mace

The Gada (Indian Mace) is a traditional strength-training tool with deep roots in Indian wrestling and martial culture. Featuring a long wooden shaft and a heavy spherical head, the gada is used for swinging, rotational, and leverage-based exercises that build shoulder strength, grip power, forearm endurance, and upper body stability. Revered in ancient warrior traditions and associated with deities like Hanuman and Bhima, the gada blends spiritual symbolism with functional fitness.

Usage Recommendations 

Beginners: Start with a lighter gada to practice controlled swings.
Strength Builders: Use medium-weight gadas for shoulder mobility, grip, and back strength.
Pro Wrestlers & Athletes: Train with heavy gadas for explosive power and endurance.

Perform 360° swings, overhead rotations, and leverage drills to engage the entire upper body.
