First published in 1892, this is a systematic course of exercises with Indian clubs by G. T. B. Cobbett of the Orion Gymnastic Club and A. F. Jenkin of the German Gymnastic Society and the Inns of Court School of Arms. The authors aimed to give as complete an account of the subject as they could, and each of them worked through every advanced exercise in the book before it went to press.
The introduction recommends clubs of two to three pounds for ordinary use, gives scale drawings of clubs from light willow to fifteen-pound elm, and explains the stance, the principal plane, the carry and the terms used throughout, insisting on good style so that the weakest muscles are worked as well as the strongest.
Chapters then cover outward circles, consecutive outward circles, inward circles, hip twists and cross hip twists, alternate exercises with outward and with inward circles, parallel exercises and windmill exercises, with the front, back and cross swings and twists from which they are built. Movements of similar character are grouped together, and the harder exercises are set in small type so that beginners can see what to leave until later. For these the authors use a short notation devised in its main features by J. H. Jones of the Orion Gymnastic Club.
A miscellaneous chapter adds further notes on style, heavy clubs, cross windmill exercises, methods of keeping time, circles out of the principal plane, the reverse grasp, finger twists and snake twists, turning on the feet, and throwing and catching the clubs. Tables at the end include one comparing the authors' terms with those of E. F. Lemaire's book on clubs.
The illustrations are partly from photographs by George Mitchell of Lewisham and partly drawings by B. M. Jenkin.
