The TACFIT Difference

What’s most unique about the Steel Mace is the disproportionate weight it provides. You will learn to experience various levels of dynamic motion and transitions, and deftly counter offset weight and activation methods that keep you safe while challenging your core and proficiency.

The Steel Mace is also an effective recovery tool. Implement slow and controlled movements on low intensity and recovery days to develop muscle adaptation. Learn how to improve your mobility, flexibility, and strengthen all the muscles and connective tissues around the joints — this means less chance for injuries, better balance and coordination, improved performance in sports, and better posture.

Program History

“As you swing the mace around your body, brandishing it like an ancient warrior in the heat of battle, you’ll quickly realize how hard it is to control. Its uneven weight distribution will force your core to work overtime and challenge all of the smaller stabilizing muscles throughout your body. And because the implement lends itself to dynamic, high-repetition, full-body movements, it’s an extremely efficient tool for building power, mobility, and muscular endurance.”
