Circular Strength
Strength Through Flow and Rotation
Circular strength training uses rhythmic, multi-directional movements with tools such as:
- Kettlebells
- Clubbells (also known as karlakattai, mudgar, or meels)
- Macebells (gada)
These tools have been used for millennia in athletic and combative traditions across Russia, Persia, and India, and have been refined in modern times through systems such as TacFit and Circular Strength Training (CST).
Rather than training strength in straight lines, circular strength develops movement integrity through rotation, momentum, and control.
What Circular Strength Builds
Rotational & Anti-Rotational Strength
The ability to generate and resist force through rotation, essential for athletic movement and joint protection.
Joint & Grip Resilience
Particularly in the shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, and spine.
Strength & Conditioning Together
Circular training builds cardiovascular and metabolic conditioning alongside strength, without relying on machines or repetitive linear movements.
Rhythmic, Demanding, and Intelligent
Workouts are rhythmic and physically demanding, yet carefully structured.
Intensity is managed through:
- Load selection
- Movement complexity
- Tempo and rest
This allows strength and endurance to develop simultaneously, while respecting recovery and joint integrity.
The result is a powerful training effect that feels athletic, engaging, and sustainable.
Who Circular Strength Is For
Circular strength training is ideal if you want to:
- Feel athletic, coordinated, and strong in all directions
- Improve shoulder, core, and grip resilience
- Break out of rigid or machine-based training
- Build real-world strength that carries over to sport and daily life
Movements are always scaled, making this approach accessible to a wide range of ages and experience levels.
Part of a Broader Training System
Circular strength works best as part of a balanced approach that also includes:
- Functional Training for integrated movement patterns
- Rehabilitation & Bulletproofing to restore and protect joints
- Longevity & Healthspan Training for long-term capacity
- Nutritional Guidance to support recovery and adaptation
Together, these elements create a system that builds strength without sacrificing health.
