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.
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.
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.
I'm 5'7. 6kgs for me. It's heavy as SHIT. i did NOT expect it to be that tough. I cannot yet do the shoulder rotation, my shoulders simply are yet to weak. So i'm gonna try rocking for a solid minute for 5 times. Hopefully in a few weeks it'll be enough to do my first rotation.
@Drekken Hutchinson It's great! I'm not sure why but my shoulder is still iffy. I am not building much mass but i am DEFINITELY getting more definition and strength in my arms. can now do 10 rotations!! still the same weight but 10 reps, 3 sets. So that's MASSIVE improvement. Plus can hold the bar much lower. Right now i'm struggling because my neck is LONNNNG and my head is big. So i keep bumping it against the back of my head.
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 life!!!!!
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.
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?
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?
AnythingWithWheels Dude these people no nothing about swinging a mace. They should stick to running track or something. Learn to swing it's push then pull!!! Push it back then pull it forward.

Best beginner mace breakdown Ive seen so far.... Thank you
Thanks for helping me getting started guys. Your video was much more helpful than the rest that I have found
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 💯
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.
We just got out 1st mace at my gym today. im really excited to try it/train with it.
I just got a 20lb mace for tire work, and im now figuring out it very heavy,thanks for the guidance

Lifting isn’t functional muscle, it’s just mass, do some strength training and such if you want to be better at this kind of stuff

Yes Paul. He has great videos shot in India
Thank you! Now I can start learning this. 👍
Thank you for this tip

I can see the macebell being an excellent training tool for judokas.
When you switch to the other side, do your hands switch positions on the shaft?
Amazing tutorial!
Glad it was helpful!
I've been doing golf swing s and bat swings with mine. Is that a viable exercise?
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 ?
Thank you for the information...

what is the weight of the bell in this video?
Cool video, thanks..
is that owning your center?
What's the difference between this and Chris Duffins shoulder rocket ?
I think the difference is that with The ShouldeRök you can adjust the weight with plates
eric herrmann yes the shoulder rok is plate loaded
Great video

What WEIGHT is the one you are demonstrating? These seem to come in 10, 15, 25 pounds etc. THANKS for the video.
Looks like a 15

The button is on the right if you're watching the video lol
I'm a big fan of justin and i have great respect for him, but that was just the worst video wrap up in history
DerKollelge 😂😂 ya not my finest
I thought if you had your right hand on top you went over the left shoulder vice versa?. Oh well
