- The Mace or Gada is one of the oldest strength training tools ever created. Today @TheFlowingDutchman visited St. Louis and gave me a personal seminar to teach me how to use these awesome tools.

It was a privilege for me to teach you some of the basics and actually see you swing a mace in person. You're an example of a humble, open, yet knowledgable man and it means a lot to me to witness that in person. I understand why your channel is so popular :). Hope to see you with some big weights soon!
That was Awesome! Thank you for sharing. 😊
It's obvious the benefits you receive from what looks like something so simple and easy but quite the contrary. Ha!
Your spreading knowledge
Thank you for sharing your expertise man. Much love 🤙🏽
You're clearly a very technical teacher 🙌
Finally a respectable fitness influencer giving the mace some coverage
19:15
This is how ancient Indian warriors used to swing their swords too. Enemy can't attack you from the back as well.
Never saw this collab coming ❤
Glad you liked it!
Hey, @@SquatUniversity can you do a remake video of the kettlebell weight shift video?
@@SquatUniversity
Bro, I know you just uploaded this video but I’d like to know later if you were sore when you woke/wake up??
@@SquatUniversity I recently fell on my left knee and I can feel pain in the back of my knee. Is there anything I can do to help relieve and fix this issue
Hey @SquatUniversity where are you located so I can come in?
This is serious core work. So much more effective than crunches and the like.
yes, but crunches will make the abdominal muscles more visible from the outside. I know what I'm writing, I regularly practice various core exercises, I've been practicing with the help of macebells for two years (two-handed, one-handed), and only after years, when I included 1 set of sit-ups a day, did my abs become more visible... One poondiata set of 40 was enough repetitions (legs are not closed)
@@MarekKE-ei6ec more visible on the outside is called low fat.
It's a great core workout!
Crunches are for bodybuilding
@@MarekKE-ei6ecYou clearly don't know what you are writing about😂
Visible abs are to do with low body fat, not crunches🤦♂️
The guy in the black is an excellent student. Easy to teach and understands and does the actions well quickly.
That's Dr. Aaron, this is his channel. He's amazing. Probably has improved the quality of life of hundreds of thousands of people, no joke.
@@kshahkshahthat’s the joke.
@@kshahkshahnooo you don’t say!
Nice observation
I have been training for over 57 years now at 71 still compete in powerlifting competitions, got to say why didn’t you have this channel when I started out, would have saved me loads of time.
He probably wasn't born sir XD
TH-cam didn't exist, the internet didn't exist, the printing press was the talk of the town!
Ngl I saw his videos during he visited in India and I was inspired by it. I was thinking about starting this exercise, but didn't know the proper way. I was searching for this and boom 3 days later squat University did it. Thank you for this 🙏🙏
I just bought one to get rid of my neighbours. Was a good training.
😆
😂😂😂
RIP neighbors 😢
😂😂😂😂😂
Love these movements! Started using a mace to unlock a dysfunctional shoulder. The reflexive switch between relax and muscle twitch are fantastic. Way to help bring it to the fore.
I discovered maces a few years ago and still spread the word about them. Such an amazing tool for so many movements!
One amongst many contributions from ancient Indian knowledge.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Persian. You people didn't have anything before the Aryans (Iranians) and later the Moguls, who were Persian in culture and speech. Heck, before the Brits, India's common language was Persian.
@@user-nh8zt9wl3c what the heck dude do you study in whatsapp university of BBC ...do some search on youtube about ancient india even Aryan is a sanskrit word . Go and educate yourself.
@@user-nh8zt9wl3c Persian was the common language ? Then what about Sanskrit and Tamil ? Were graduated from Macdonald University? Also Persia was Zoroastrian country there was No Islam In Persia 🤣
@@yashsharma1280 My Hindi friend, you don't know your own history. Go read and see what the common language was before English. You're so smart. 🙄
@@user-nh8zt9wl3c You are the one who needs history lessons 😂😂😂😂
His instructions, and your immediate response to change was very impressive. Really enjoyed watching this!
I'm so glad you made this video to learn from!! I literally impulse bought a 15 lb mace after seeing your video short about the gada/weighted mace. I've been working with it to improve my strength and overhead mobility. I'm so happy to have this to build on. Very informative. Perhaps a slow-mo breakdown and some good graphics could really drive the key concepts/steps home. Thank you!
😂 I'm literally looking around my house for sticks to start swinging around. My broom seems like the most likely candidate atm. It's probably too light, but I'm a very small female and looking to improve mobility first anyway. Hope this will help my creaking, bubble wrap noise making shoulder. I had it for years and every few months it starts hurting (inflammation I suspect). Just watching this mace exercise feels like a relief to my shoulder, so I need to start this asap. Where did you order your impulse purchase mace?
Mace swings fixed my nagging shoulder issues that i had for years and nothing else was effective.
Clubs and mace did the same for me 👍🏻
This is what I came here to see. What products do you recommend?
I struggle with bursitis in the shoulder. I'm hoping this helps!
Best Collab, Two of my favs coming together. Need more of this 🙌🏼
This is the best video in my opinion. Using the bodies natural ability to get a great work out in. I’m sold.
Get a 10 lb sledge hammer from Home Depot
and get hit with it
🎉
The history of mace/clubs, as a weapon of war, and later as a tool of exercise, is ancient and covers much of the indoeuropean world. Persia, India and many others have works of art and literature featuring these since at least the Iron Age.
These exercises seems more a training to handle the weapon imo
It was both from the start. You need to do this exercise in order to get used to wield Gada in a fight
@@hafirenggayuda The Gada was used in battle as well. And the swords were also swung like this a LOT in Indian battles.
Before Persia it was India
It goes way back !!
You dummies need some history lessons!!!
Bloody awesome video lads😎👌
Thank you!
That is the coolest! Flow and grace coupled with strength and balance. Thanks for filming this partnership and posting for all to see.
Fantastic video.. I am glad he visited your channel and gave this ancient technique a huge shout out.. Thanks
Excellent video. I am from India. Learning the mechanics of this ancient workout was very nice.
This was awesome to watch the progression. whoever did the backtrack, great job! Especially at the end with the intensity going up with the weight 👍🏽
I'd love to add something like this to my workout but am afraid of having terrible form without having an instructor like that to offer correction. Love the video, thanks for sharing!
That is right observation. The mace is infamous for literally popping out our shoulder cuffs and wrists. But you can start with small weights and even with improper form, it will not pose a risk and slowly by the very nature of maces complimenting natural body movements you will be fixed in proper form in just 1.5 month time more or less.
Two of my favorites fitness content creators together, this is pure gold. Thanks for the video bro
Collab between two of my favourite coaches. Never saw it coming! 💯
Never stop learning… love your attitude … the main reason why you know so much and can explain it so well
Love both your work and was so happy to see you two together on IG at the end of last year. Great you got a video out of it too and look forward to you exploring the benefits of mace.
This was really fun to watch. I am definitely going to give this a try. Fun to see a fellow Dutchy on my favorite channel.
That flow at the end! Looks like there are some great possibilities to play and have fun with the mace which I look forwad to exploring!
really cool vid and demonstration of technique, thanks for posting ... will try it out with my sledge hammer 👍
Glad you liked it!
Awesome I am a big fan of your videos 😊
Thank you!
WOW!! FINALLY! I learnt about this and other Indian ancient techniques many year ago. I forgot immediately about the other techniques as absolutely out of my range😂 but this is something I still practice to keep my shoulders moving. The first time I saw that was about clubs like a 360° round cricket wooden club. But the mace seems to be more popular. Also the movement dynamic should be different. Maces are quite rare in the gyms (and expensive to buy) so at gym I use a light bar the kinda you can add light plates from 1 lb up, to. Usually found in the classes studio/area. Weights only on one end, of course😂 and the DIY mace is ready. The hands position on the bar makes the exercise more or less difficult the farer or the closer you go to the weighted end. So everyone can do the exercise. Thank you for the video, clearly explaining the starting steps and tips to make the movent flowing better. 🙏
Excellent demo and explanations! Thanks!!
Great to see you learn this!
Awesome video. I'd been wondering about this workout, actually. Excellent. Absolutely love and appreciate your work, is helping me with hip impingement and hip flexor strain issues. Shared you with my chiropractor, too. Blessings!
Good for you. I've been training with maces and clubs for a couple years now as well as subscribed to Flowing Dutchman...
I can certainly feel and see the difference in my shoulders and neck over back when I just trained with barbells and dumbbells.
Fantastic video. Have a shoulderok and the instructions were outstanding! Joyful 🙏🏾
I've been training with a macebell for 6 months and the benefits are awesome, my flexibility and strength had improved dramatically,great video a content,2 of my favorite content creators together
Gada workout has known to be thousands of years old and effective. It was the Gada because of which Alexander lost to an Indian king of a tiny kingdom. The Greeks and Persians were scared of the Gada to hell 2000 years ago. There' gotta be some reason behind it.
More such unexpected collabs are needed❤
Soooo cool. Thanks for this video.
WOw i love this session. Its amazing :)
Beautiful work
An other dimension of the training . Very cool❤❤❤
wow great vid mate you have the best content! I have a mace in the shed now i know how to use it properly thankyou
I look forward your explanation of the correct DIPS techique. Because its a very good compound exercise, but it can cause a lot damage to your shoulders
Amazingly explained!
thanks for the intro type video. I have been interested in mace workouts to build core and strength my low back issues.
That was really cool! Loved it!
Breath aspect of it is the most important to be kept in mind. It works not just as physical exercise but as yogic breathing too when done correctly.
Love this content!!!
Awesome teaching.
Coincidentally just today I was talking with a friend who uses sledge hammers at work, about hitting tires with sledge hammers, and this fits perfectly for a sledge hammer. Workout tools and movements are everywhere.
JUST AWESOME!!!!!
Nice to see him also sharing these exercises
This one gave me a lateral pelvic tilt, especially the exercise that takes mace in circle over your head. Lot of pain. I used PRI exercises to get this under control. The key is not to increase weight quickly. I went from 7 lb to 10 lb to 15 lb mace in 3 weeks. I should have practiced 7 lb for 3 months, then 10 lb for 6 months and then perhaps 15 lb. One has to be really mindful of any exercises that has pelvic rotation. Of all the exercises I had done so far, mace really feels empowering.
Just brilliant
Nice job! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I’ve been swinging maces for about 9 years. It’s a phenomenal workout and a skill that completely changes how you move.
This is fire, would love to try it!!!! 💯
Best ancient workout man...
Love from INDIA ❤❤
Great knowledge thanks
I started using a mace for cardio. I love it.
Long time viewer. Love the editing upgrades.
This was great. Would love to see a video on clubs as well, get into mills, reverse mills etc
I can't wait to start this kind of work out it
No way! These two doing a collab is this fitness nerd’s dream come true! Huge love for you both 🙏
As Indian from Maharashtra kolhapur this good to see
Wow, awesome video, been wondering about the mechanics of this for a while now.
Just awesome.
Thanks for watching!
I love this video, very cool training
Amazing workout, need to try it out
Its indian guys❤
Well this is a knaves training tool from the feudal europe so no not just indian!
@@harrybrown4815 With origins in India.
@@harrybrown4815 Lol Tbis Is Called Gada From Ancient India Not Europe ✌️
It's actually mentioned both in Ramayana and Mahabharata my father used to practice with these when he was alive. I am fat btw. 🤣@@harrybrown4815
@@harrybrown4815 stolen....as usual... 😂
The Flowing Dutchman is great. I love that guy.
That was brilliant for the first time.
Fascinating
Ah, TheFlowingDutchman getting some much deserved love and attention. Thank you!
Awesome.
Picked up a 35" sledgehammer @ Lowes for these types of exercises and my shoulders feel great. My shins though, will never ben the same...
This training is so damm good for back, shoulders and core's stability, mobility and strength
Even leg definition of the instructor shows how fit this guy is. Looks like an awesome workout.
Hi I am fan of your channel
I am from india
I know a practioner of your video art which is called karlakattai
Before this practice
You need three months training on body mobility 360 degree work out with out weight
Then after 45 minutes of body warmup only you have to rotate this weights
Orelse it causes the injury
Kindly I am your fan
You have a advanced science
But our traditional Indian workouts have more than science.
Inspiring !
It's great seeing you doing that. I hurt my elbow doing it. Not sure why, but I have had a hard time recovering from that. Try Persian Yoga as well, the Persian version of that. You'll be interested in that as well.
Ah, finally an easy to understand macebell tutorial.
Glad you liked the tutorial!
I coach Highland Games and I've always said the Hammer swing is the single greatest shoulder and rotational core conditioning tool. Anyone who has a mace 10-30 lbs can start learning how to do it. It's like a mace swing on steroids and if you want to you can throw it really far too.
Hell ya, that was hard
💯 need this in my routine
SU will be a master in a weeks time.
The shadows are freaking me out - gives the illusion dude is about to get whacked by the club
I see fundamentals from so many classical martial art Ive studied, all weapons, fencing etc
I found these helped me stay more upright in my squat after a month or two. Which was a nice surprise. I got one during lockdowns as they're relatively cheap and i couldn't access a gym. Kind of medative too ✌️
Wonderful
Would like to see you do a collab with mark wildman with club bells/heavy club as he addresses strength and rehab/prehab.
Wow, did the big heavy stick gang just become mainstream? Great video.
I love mace and club work. It really is a whole body workout especially when the weight gets higher
The Quad Face Mace is no joke. It feels a lot heavier than the steel maces too simply because all of the weight is in the head.
Same kind of workout i got when i used a sledgehammer
