Mace & Heavy Club Back Position Swing - 360 breakout exercise to improve efficiency - Mace 5

[@Purwinkle]

Just got my first mace! Exactly the video I needed to help with the learning curve

[@MrSteeJans]

I find it's all of the little things, like making sure your thumb does reach down to the top of your shirt. It really does make a big difference!

[@willagnes8376]

Alright. I've been swinging a 25lb club for a few weeks now. Its kicking my ass. Mark, you are a seriously strong dude 360ing that 50lb club.

[@garretttringale436]

Farm boy strength

[@keith.vukasinovich]

This was an incredibly helpful clarification of problems I‘be been having with my swing mechanics.

[@slunk007]

Just got my mace yesterday. I'm going to use this as my warmup before doing full 360s.

[@philstyles5384]

Is there any way to donate to your cause other than teespring? If so, please inform us. We would be happy to donate in any other way possible. THANK YOU. ROCK ON

[@paulmiceli5862]

I just started using clubs yesterday and I'm already hooked. I hope you're going to put out a book with some detailed programs. I'm using the nerd math stuff to put together my own but it's new territory for me. Appreciate your videos!

[@1980REVOLT]

Man, thanks for every thing you have done in this channel, this method of exercise changed my life as the spectrum of keto changed in the nutritional parts, you should take a look on the history and development of ancestral way of eating that lead to some where in the spectrum of keto diet, thanks again.

[@kostasm3750]

Very good video!very helpful!

[@etilrets]

Thank you so much for this Mark. I used to engage my triceps to pull the weight up till this time and it used to make me tiered soon. Now, I can practice back swing as per this demo.

[@johnkenny6516]

Just going over the mace stuff while waiting on my first mace. I never realised there's a loooooooot to take in to avoid damaging myself and everything around me.

[@garretttringale436]

I think it's bad ass how freaking strong you are without being a hulking brute. That's what I strive for!

[@vicsophios5892]

Mark as you mentioned to use a video to check ones form or train in front of a mirror if possible.

[@nadiadozova6515]

Great exercise! It seems that when I do shield casts (one handed) with a club my hand brushes my shirt, but when I try two handed (club or very very light mace) I am definetly having 90 degrees at the elbows. I suspect some mobility issues with the thoracic spine...

[@nadiadozova6515]

@@kylelochlann5053 yes it probably has a neurological component too. I can do a two handed very light club cast. One other reason is that my clubs are not very good for two handed work. They are pretty short and have pretty big "handles" for my hands. I suppose things will get better with practice, when I increase my strength, mobility and neurological control...

[@josephhazzouri1373]

Thank you

[@andrewchristoffersen1051]

Excellent videos man

[@connorcampbell7642]

Would you ever consider a series on different types of conditioning and what exercises and equipment are needed for them?

[@MarkWildman]

Sure... but I’m not sure what you mean. Can you give examples

[@abelvermeulen267]

Exactly the part I mess up using my first club, thank you! Question about yesterdays C&P video: What are your thoughts on KB thrusters? Worth making a video about them?

[@MarkWildman]

Sure.

[@abelvermeulen267]

Big fan of thrusters, single and double. Looking forward to the vid on them ;)

[@denlen5706]

Tnx, nice shirt man))

[@tomshanakian909]

Very strong man

[@LackofEthics]

When I do the backswing with the mace or club it bounches off my shoulders. Am I doing it wrong and if so how do I correct this?

[@dsvenjohnson83]

You described "top hand across opposite ear". I was trying that but it didn't look quite right. Then I noticed that you don't actually do that. You go more straight up in front of the face and then swing, which I think 'feels' more correct? Thank you for what you do 👍

[@henridenavarre7892]

What would be REALLY interesting to see : your vision of efficiency/skills on, say, training schedule of a national judo team for 3 months. And the results.

[@Alex-ej3by]

that's a good call! Hope he sees this.

[@MarkWildman]

id have to see what they are already doing and then have an amount of time dedicated to training for each part of training

[@davidroseborough]

where did you get that mace?!

[@quickiejo3251]

I'm Wildman's witness.

[@nicholasmichaelravnikar]

I’m going to try this with my sledgehammer. Hope I don’t hurt myself!

[@rkan2k]

Hi Mark! In the back of a 360, are you using an OK grip or an ice cone grip? Thanks!

[@MarkWildman]

more ice cream

[@Bunnykisses1000]

I think you mentioned this, but cant find it, but what is THE most ultimate exercise to start with for the mace? Is it the 360? (For a beginner with with a really good fitness and strength base). Thanks

[@MarkWildman]

360

[@robbiemallu1871]

How heavy of a mace should I start with?

[@etilrets]

Start with 5 kg or 10-12 pounds. This is technical swing and with big lever and extra heavy weight you may injure yourself. I suggest start with lighter weight and increase progressively.

[@robbiemallu1871]

@@MarkWildman holy shit Mark actually payed attention to my comment! Big fan man you basically got me started o. Kettlebells and Indian club and now I want a mace.

[@yazan80]

Im curious for how long you guys flow with a mace? Also what kind of moves you do during the flow? I just got my mace and Im trying to figure out how to get started. Trying to find any good beginners guide online but its suprisingly lacking. Would appreciate any help.

[@MarkWildman]

60 min. These vids are numbered because I’m basically teaching this in some form of mildly logical order so it will basically be a foundational series you can learn in incrimates

[@nandobreiter4075]

I know I need this without even trying it. So I went out to try it. I managed to sort of drag the club across my back on my first try and was thinking "man, this is pathetic" ... but afterward, it felt like my mills had better form.

[@guyblew1733]

I looked at ADex mace and club, but their laces looked nothing like what you are using. The club's are the same.

[@MarkWildman]

Define laces

[@MarkWildman]

Maces? This isn’t an adex. This was before I knew about adex

[@guyblew1733]

@@MarkWildman It's not supposed to be laces, this dumb phone has a nasty habit of changing words, sorry. It supposed to be maces.

[@guyblew1733]

@@MarkWildman Oh that makes sense as to why they look different. Thank you for your quick response.

[@MrMasterninjakiller]

Where did you get that super ornate mace?

[@MarkWildman]

Mf_refab on Instagram. Custom built. It’s called the Wildman mace. I did not name it

[@MrMasterninjakiller]

@@MarkWildman I actually found it immediately after I asked when I watched the next video where you mentioned who made it. I appreciate the answer though. His maces are sweet!

[@11STANE11]

when i do this with correct hand position mace handle hits my upper back and sometimes my ass what am i doing wrong?

[@MarkWildman]

You probably aren’t extending your upper spine which is the fancy way of saying you need to stand up even more

[@goncalosimoes7013]

Press with a club, is in the list?

[@MarkWildman]

yes

[@Hell_Inc]

jesus christ, a 50lbs club!! Anyways, nice way to get the back swing right. Thank you, Mark!

[@snoopcane4422]

Could u explain how this motion separates us from other species

[@SpindlyScoundrel]

Dogs can't do it, for example....no offence!

[@MarkWildman]

using levers to magnify power is unique to humans. example.. we are the only species to use axes to magnify our power to cut down trees to make lumber, and use hammers to assemble lumber into shelters.
