This one-day, Level I Mace and Indian Clubs workshop, will give you everything you need to know in order to start taking advantage of these two powerful tools!

Workshop Overview

The Mace and Indian Clubs, in various forms and incarnations, have been used for thousands of years by athletes and warriors. Athletes have used them to increase strength, mobility and function in their shoulders, back, and neck. Warriors have used them for the same reasons, in addition to developing flow, weapon/body integration, deep movement and power development.

This workshop will arm you with the essential skills that you will need in order to get the most from using both of these tools as a powerful adjunct to your training regimen. If you are looking for a way to increase upper body functionality and movement, then it’s essential to learn as much as you can about the Mace and Indian Clubs. Both are very simple tools, and like the Russian Kettlebell, require a high level of skill and training to use safely and get maximal results.

Master the essentials of the Mace and Indian Clubs by learning the powerful skills, techniques and principles behind this unique method of strength training. At this 5-hour hands-on user’s course, you will learn the most effective, safe, and efficient ways to use the Mace and Indian Clubs. You will be introduced to basic movement skills (both one-hand and two-hand), as well as combination skills, that will allow you to train every day without getting bored or repeating the same skills day in and day out. Learn how to take the basic skills and combine them into powerful and dynamic movement patterns that you can use to "fill in the blanks" in your mobility and strength training.

NOTE: this is NOT a "Mace Flow" or "Dancing with Mace's" training. It is a training program that emphasizes the prehab, rehab and integration uses of these tools. Expect to come away with a handful of powerful basic skills that can be developed to a high level and have a tremendous impact on your strength, mobility and movement at a very low load. If you have ever trained with me for kettlebells, body weight, bar or martial arts (JKD, Filipino Martial Arts, Silat, etc.) you know what to expect from this program: the best and most applicable techniques and training without any fluff or BS.

Personal Note

I have a very limited "Trainer's Toolbox" that I use for my own training and that of my athletes. Limited because it only includes the most effective and powerful tools I have found in over forty years of training in athletics and martial arts. In the last several years I have only added two tools to the Toolbox: the Mace and the Indian Clubs.  Those of you who know me will attest that I do not add things to my training unless there is a huge payoff. These two tools, the Mace and the Indian Clubs, really are that powerful and need to be a part of your training program as well.

I have reaped the benefits of these two tools in a number of ways since I started training with them regularly. In my case it was the nearly instantaneous relief from near debilitating shoulder pain.  Both of my shoulders have taken a beating from over forty years of martial arts training and almost two decades of Kettlebells. Once I started training daily with the Mace and Indian Clubs the pain in both shoulders subsided to almost nothing. I was finally able to get a good night's sleep without constantly tossing and turning to get away from my throbbing and aching shoulders. This was huge for me and I will continue to train with them for this reason alone...
