Here's a quick guide on the 360 for those of you who are just starting your mace journey. I hope you find value in it. Note: I purposely did not state which hand goes on top in relation to the direction of the 360. While I was taught (and teach my students), that the top hand points the direction, for example; right hand on top = casting over my left shoulder and vice-versa, there are a number of highly skilled instructors that teach the opposite. Neither is right or wrong. Once you're comfortable and have a foundation within your first style, explore another. Variety is the spice of life.

The Turkish get up is a staple in my training, and for good reason. It develops full body strength, stability, coordination, and mobility, plus it's great for shoulder prehab and rehab. It's a great example of strength as a skill, and with 5 of the 7 primal movements within one exercise, plus the chaining of these movements, it's en extremely effective practice in strengthening the nervous system. The carry over to athletic performance is huge. Note: The hip bridge is an optional addition. I do it and teach it to my clients.

There's a saying in the mace world, "Make heavy light. Make light heavy" - Esik Melland (the original Onnit master mace trainer, founder or Viking Ninja and head of fitness at TACFIT) Meaning, through greater skill, we can move heavier loads more efficiently, and through optimal tension, we gain greater muscle recruitment. The second part is in reference to the 4 "activations" we use in mace training, crush, rip, snap, and twist. Activations are a variation of the irradiation effect and a way for us to get more out of our mace practice, even when working with lighter mace. Now, the next time I post and say "crush activation," etc... you'll know what I mean🙂 Click the link to get your copy of "The NO bullshit Steel Mace Blueprint."
