Shout out to Paul Wolkowinski and Tom Billinge (of Waryoga) for teaching me how to make gadas way back when

New year challenges??
Anybody have a good challenge for the new year?
I see the 10k swing challenge adapted for the mace but was trying do something different/less boring so adding mace plus kettlebells might be the solution.
For example a daily challenge of 200 MB (10-2s/360s) swings + 100 KB snatches/c&p/ whatever you want…
300 reps per day for 33 days.
Might run it- does anybody have anything like this and want to share? I’m just making shit up

Any good Mace or club routines that don't require counting and can be done for 30-60 minutes? and good websites for shorter duration workouts
My gym recently got a bunch of clubs and maces and I love them. Right now I do a lot of circuit style stuff. Is there any sort of drills that can be done with lightweight straight for 30-60 min while I watch the game on the tv? Something where its straight 30-60 min and no 10 reps this side, 10 reps that side, etc where I will be counting and not able to pay attention to the game? Also, if you know of any good places to find more HIIT or other mace workouts I can do in place of my cardio for the day.

Wolf Brigade
Does anyone know if wolf brigade is still in business? I placed an order on their website for a mace and have tried to contact them several times with no luck…and seems like their social media stuff is either gone or hasn’t been active in several months. I’m starting to think they have closed shop and I need to contact my credit card company to cancel the charge….

Steel Mace Building Blocks- Now Live
Steel Mace Building Blocks is for the masses as of right NOW!
Steel Mace Building Blocks is everything a mace practitioner needs to progress with their mace and movement journey.
There is a written and video library of breakdowns designed to build the strength in your upper body, lower body, and swing that will be expanding weekly.
There is a video library of full follow alongs of these sessions as well.
Starting in January, there will be weekly live community classes. These will be on goal setting, Steel Mace Flow, Indian Clubs, meel, kettlebell, and mobility, with general self development/check-ins sprinkled throughout as well.
Included is a recommended program for people interested in training 3 days a week, 4 days a week, 5 days a week, or Every Damn Day.
There are also discount codes for one-on-one training, certifications, and equipment (as well as a couple non-mace related things).
Starting in January, a testing system to help you track your progress will be included as well.
On top of that, everyone who signs up is going to get a 30 minute one-on-one check in/form check/goal setting session with me.
This launch/activation is going to be super grass roots. So even if you're not interested in getting involved in the Steel Mace Building Blocks community, I'd really appreciate if you could share it around!
Time to Build!
Link will be in the comments

Kensui Steel Adjustamace V2
So I know Kensui's first made was made of wood and controversial with regards to durability (heard a few reports of it cracking)
They've recently released a steel version, it's powder coated steel, beefy 40mm diameter, knurled handle with a pommel and looks like it checks all the boxes.
My only concern is the length; it's 40 inches long, which seems on the shorter side. I've got an arm assassin mace that's a similar form factor but 48"; I was looking for a shorter mace but I don't know if 40" is too short. Anyone have any experience or thoughts on the Kensui?
I'm 5'9 and have a 68" wingspan if that's relevant.

Just some random movement as a warm-up using my CK cadi mace loaded to 15 lb. Thought it was novel enough to share lol. Movements include: 1H 360's, Mace 1H/2H mills, uppercuts, throw casts, squat holds and back pendulums.

What to train besides mace?
I'm 6ft and around 91kg, and I've been working with a mace 2x a week for about 2 months now. I've always struggled with working out and fitness in general. I find lifting weights generally boring and hard to stick with for more than a few weeks, using a mace has been the first time I've lasted more than 4 weeks. My question mainly is: what other sorts of training for strength and general conditioning are good to mix into the mace for a more full body style of program?

Getting there
Still trying to focus on activating my core! What should my arms feel like? I’ve noticed my right arm tiring out faster, not sure if I need to be alternating what each arm is controlling (if that makes sense?)
03:04 UTC
How am I doing?
A mate made me this adjustable mace for 1in plates. It's got 4.25kg on it, and about 5 inches longer than my Amazon mace.
02:38 UTC
Something just feels off.
Trying to add more to the 360s with the 3kg Amazon mace. The down swing feels off to me but not sure why.

Final thoughts before the 24 hour swing

12 Steel Mace Exercises Ranked F to S
I'm seeing a lot of exercise ranked videos and thought I'd try my hand at doing the same for general steel mace exercises.
Hopefully it helps some people out there decide which Mace exercises they want to pursue as there's more than just 360 swings!
08:08 UTC
Getting there, still have some work to do
Breathing has helped a lot for engaging my core. Trying to keep it consistent!

Would it be possible to sticky a post with list of competitions?
Or does anyone know of any mace comps happening. Winter time is when I train/compete the most usually and I’d like to test myself in steel mace!
