Tom’s has trained with Persian meels, Indian clubs and shena for over 20 years – after being tought the ancient zurkhaneh practices by legendary world champion wrestler, Amir Esmaeli, in the 1990s.

For this reason, Tom incorporates circular training movements and tools into a wide variety of his classes, workshops & PT training courses offered at Body Development.

Peter Hodkinson

Peter’s BMF business is a natural development from a lifetime fascination of all things health and fitness. It began in his 20s, when he discovered the Korean martial art of sul-ki-do and, which he practiced for over 20 years, reaching his 2nd degree black belt in 2003. This lead to further trainings in qigong, then kettlebells and Indian clubs back in 2004. Five years later, Peter created and published The Kettlebell Guide magazine that also included Indian clubs training. After struggling to find the right pair of Indian clubs, he designed his own. Soon after, he made some for other early adopters. Fast forward a few years and BMF has grown to be one of the leading suppliers of Indian clubs, Persian meels and other traditional fitness tools. He has been involved in the worldwide clubs scene for over a decade and seen the steady evolution to its current place in the fitness industry. Wooden clubs training is still not quite yet mainstream, but let’s see what happens during the next year..!
