What weight is a good starting or beginners weight with Persian Meel?

The answer is, it depends. In our tradition a healthy adult male starts on 6kg/13lb pair of Meel. Meel are masured in the combined weight of the pair e.g. a 6kg/13lb pair weighes 3kg/7.5lb per club.

In my experience beginners with Meel start on average on 4-6kgs/9-13lbs Meel for men and 2-4kgs/4-9lbs for women. There are exceptions of course. 

If you strength train regularly, have some experience with clubs but not Meel and would like a challenge for the next couple of years, at least, then I’d recommend max 8kg/17lb Meel, anything heavier will be too challenging to learn with.

And if you’re completely new to this and feel that you want to progress more slowly over time (safer) then I’d recommend the 4 kg Meel for beginners male and 2 kg for beginner females.
