An Old Method of Getting New Core Training

Yesterday I introduced mace swinging to our training arsenal. Many people wanted to know more about mace swinging, why, what, and how to! I chose to demonstrate mace swinging for several reasons:

1. Mace swinging teaches fluid movement of the body enhancing functional strength as well as athletic mobility.

2. They can be used by any fitness level and are perfect for helping beaten up shoulders and backs.

3. Maces can be used indoors or outdoors and are safer than sledgehammers.

4. Mace swinging has a history of use those goes back centuries as a core tool for some of the best athletes in the world.

5. They are fun and have unlimited number of exercises that can be created.

John, do you have any golfers using this mace? Perhaps it could help get another 20 yards out of the driver while developing the core??? :)

Don,
The mace would be a fantastic tool for golfers because of the range of motion and strength it develops. In addition, it teaches fluidity of movement which is essential in proper sporting performance.
