If you really want to learn Indian clubs, Gada (mace), Magda, etc. you should watch The Flowing Dutchman. Not only does he teach you proper technique, he pays respect to its origin and shows the original people doing the exercise and various techniques from swinging the gada either over head or over shoulder & which hand should be on top or bottom.

I'll be revisiting this video about one week from today. My mace bell should be here by then. Most simple, direct, clean instructional video on this topic that I've found on YT and there are a bunch of them. Thanks for what you do. Liked and Subscribed. I'll look into Mind Pump TV a bit later.

Thank you! That really cleared up the swing for me. I've been so intimidated to swing the damn thing, now I get it; great tutorial!

Erik Melland is the grandmaster of this mace system. He is amazing. He now advanced it into Viking Ninja.

I'm sorry guys if anyone would like to learn to swing the macebell or gada. Check out Paul Wolkowinski. This man is an incredible instructor. Also try ONNIT STEEL MACE REVIEW. Another great teacher is Leo Urquides. And Coach Rich Thurman to name a few. Check these guys out they are AWESOME. The mace or gada swinging is a beautiful art to learn. Macebell for

Didn’t surf the other comments but my question is, should you switch your grip when going different directions with the mace?
I was taught which ever direction your lower “fist” is facing is the direction you move the mace, then switch grip and go the other way.
Any input?

Thank you so much for sharing, I’m glad I found this channel. Lots of amazing and helpful info, also the way you gentlemen work together 💯

My Mace came in yesterday. never thought 15 lbs would make me feel like a bitch.

This mace immediately made me realize how weak I am even with all the lifting and cardio I do.

[NoLimitzz]

When you switch to the other side, do your hands switch positions on the shaft?

[greywolfonthetrailgreywolf]

My biggest question is about the weight it says 5 lbs is the head alone 5lbs or is the entire bar that weight? With the head ?

I’ve seen other mace bell videos that state that the top hand-pointer finger indicates the direction of the swing.
At the begin of the video you did the opposite.
When you did the flowing 360 you went in the conventional direction of the upper pointer finger.
Question. Does it really matter?

[pablosanmiguel]

When you are bringing the mace bell from back to front over your shoulder, do you bounce it off your shoulder or is it all wrist strength to bring it back over? I’m feeling wrist pain when I try bringing it back, even with lighter weight so either form is wrong and/or I have weak wrists. Can anyone chime in productively on this?

[amitypredator]

I've been doing golf swing s and bat swings with mine. Is that a viable exercise?

[Cellingfan]

Where is this gym? Do you guys do in person training? I assume you guys are from the Bay Area? I was hoping to some sort of one on one session to work on my kettlebell forms and on steel mace.

[lisagh]

what is the weight of the bell in this video?
