Most people who get into steel mace training quickly discover that going heavier is not simply a matter of picking up a bigger tool and doing the same movements. The physics change, the demands on your grip and shoulder integrity intensify, and the margin for technical error narrows significantly, meaning what worked at lighter weights can quickly become a source of injury when load increases without the right programming behind it. Heavy Steel Mace 101, presented by Coach Esik Melland, was created specifically to address that challenge. The program guides you through the specific strength training exercises, workouts, and training protocols that allow you to maximize your time and performance with heavier steel mace training, while building the kind of technical confidence that keeps you training productively and injury-free for the long term.
Coach Esik brings over a decade of TACFIT training under Master Coach Scott Sonnon to this program, along with his deep roots in martial arts and his unique approach to the steel mace, a methodology born from a genuine love of the tool and a commitment to teaching it with the same intelligence and precision that defines everything in the TACFIT catalog. Heavy Steel Mace 101 incorporates functional movements across all planes: squats, lunges, hinges, pushes, pulls, and rotations. The result means you will be going far beyond the upper-body 360 swings that most steel mace programs limit themselves to, and developing the full-body strength, coordination, explosive power, and grip endurance that make heavy mace training one of the most complete and rewarding training experiences available anywhere. Whether you are transitioning from lighter mace training and ready to take the next step, or approaching heavy steel mace training for the first time with serious intentions, this program gives you everything you need to do it right from the very first session.
