Gada/Mace is based on an ancient practice that dates back from the North of India. In this part of India you’ll find giant wooden clubs and Gada’s that are made of bamboo and river stones. This creates a weight distribution very different to a light mace. The length also inhibits front swings and swings from different grips and positions. The swings and exercises are meant to be done with any type of mace, be it long, short, heavy, light, or adjustable. This practice has less skill development than the other swing practices, but has the potential for you to go up in weight more than the other categories. Of course you can also go through these courses with a regular mace. Recommended starting weight 5-7kg. Usually sold as Macebell, Steel Mace, or Gada.
