Why Sheesham
Sheesham (Indian rosewood) is dense and shock-absorbing — it takes the load of a swing without splitting, and it ages beautifully. It is the wood generations of pehlwans trusted for their gada and mudgar.

Karlakattai principles
Karlakattai is the South Indian club-swinging tradition: circular, joint-friendly paths that build grip, shoulder health, and rotational strength. Our shapes follow those principles, not gym-machine logic.
We provide natural wood Mudgars
No varnish, no synthetic coating — just real Sheesham wood, the way pehlwans have always used it.
Natural Wood What we sell
- Wood breathes — pores stay open, so grip holds even once your hands sweat
- Ages beautifully — the grain deepens and richens with every session
- How to maintain: a neem & castor oil rub (1:1) every 15 days keeps it strong and crack-free
- Natural wood has medicinal benefits too
- 100% natural, chemical-free finish
Varnished Wood Common elsewhere
- Sealed surface — pores are blocked, so grip can turn slippery once you sweat
- A synthetic coating hides the real wood grain underneath
- No oiling needed, but the varnish itself chips, cracks and peels with use
- Once the coating wears through, the bare wood beneath is left untreated
- A shine that fades, not a finish that ages

Use — it gives a safe beginner weight from your body weight and age. When unsure, size down; you can always progress.
This Mudgar does both. Beginners usually start with two-hand swings for control, then add single-hand work as grip and shoulders adapt.
Keep it dry, wipe sweat off after each session, and rub in a little neem oil and castor oil once every 15 days to keep the Sheesham from drying out. Store upright, away from direct heat.
