The Flowing Dutchman is coming back to Sydney for a mace workshop! On Sunday the 8th of December from 09:00-13:00 Harbert will teach a mace workshop in Maroubra at FitzFitness.
About
In this workshop we’ll dive deep into what a mace is, and how you can use it as effectively and safely as possible in your training. You’re going to learn a comprehensive system, the Dutch Flow Method, to help you understand the mace in a complete sense. We’ll dive deep into fundamental swings and exercises and will apply the foundations to them. You’ll have the opportunity to learn and be corrected in your technique. After this workshop you’ll be competent in the basics of the mace, and will have a good idea of how to progress and use the system for that.
The mace has so much potential as a movement tool. It’s like a combination between strength training and martial arts. The strength training part means that we’re swinging relatively heavy weights around and this has tremendous benefit for the shoulder and surrounding muscles. The mace also prioritises rotational movements from the hips and the spine that carry over to almost every sports and movement based activities.
Using the mace as martial arts training translates itself into the mace as an ancient weapon. The mace simulates throwing or swinging movements that are commonly done with weapons. The flow aspect of the mace means that transitioning from one movement to the other will be important when using it. Think of it like kata’s in martial arts, where you create certain patterns to develop your ability to correctly swing in almost every position. This allows the mind to be active too, and is therefore amazing for coordination, spatial awareness, creating new neural pathways, and much more.
This is a unique chance to learn from one of the best in the world. Get your tickets now!

Our mission
As you might know from experience learning the mace is not as easy as it seems and teaching it is a whole other level of complexity. The possibilities of training with a mace are endless and this creates a lot of confusion to the uninitiated mind. Startingfrom scratchcan be a process of trial and error that may take years to master. Dutch Flow Academy is on a journey to spread the awareness and quality of mace training instruction all over the world. Our mission is to provide the highest quality of education to provide flow in your training and in your life. We’re dedicated to empowering our students to become expert instructors, raising the bar of quality coaching in the vast ocean of fitness and health. This will benefit many in their ability to coordinate, move and coach and create a ripple effect that will affect countless individuals.
Three Phases
Phase 1
The initial phase of the Mace Instructor Certification Course is done online and before the start of phase 2, the certification weekend. It involves completing two online courses, Mace Flow 101 and Gada/Mace 101. You’ll be required to finish both courses before the start of the certification weekend and send us two videos that will show the effort you’ve put into completing the courses. This is a mandatory step in the process and if not successfully completed you will not be able to join phase 2. The prerequisite online courses will teach you the fundamental movements and ways to approach the mace. The courses and their completion are mandatory because we are looking for dedicated students who will be able to soak in all the information during the certification weekend. Having gone through a process of learning yourself will greatly benefit your ability to pick up knowledge during the weekend. We also believe in that your own skill and understanding should be proficient enough before starting to coach others through the process.
Phase 2
On the weekend of the 7-9th of March 2025 we’ll host the Certification in a beautiful church yoga studio in Weesp NL. This will be immersive weekend including food. The weekend starts on Friday the 7th of September at 13:30 and you’ll be sorted until Sunday the 9th around 17:00. During this weekend we’re going to dive deep into the material of the certification course. Three days of education, exploration, and testing. We will complete the certification with a test that you’ll need to complete before the end of the weekend and before you’ll receive your certificate. During the rest of the weekend we’ll spend time getting to know each other, diving deep into our bodies using breath work and mobility and have an overal fantastic time. The idea of the weekend is to immerse deeply into the course material and have an amazing off-grid experience with a group of people passionate about the exact same thing with the same purpose in mind.
Phase 3
You’re going to leave the weekend with a feeling of having been immersed in a new reality concerning training and knowledge. This feeling, however, is going to fade once you enter your usual day to day routines. As for the knowledge part, we’ve shot the entire certification on video and will be able to share those tapes with you to review after the weekend. The syllabus that’s included in the certification is elaborate and will give you all the details needed in written format.

We, as Dutch Flow Academy, are proud to host the Level 2 Mace Certification for the first time in Belgium. If you enjoyed the level 1 course, you will be blown away by the contents and experiences of level 2.
Goal
Level 2 is designed for those who want to step up their game as an instructor and are willing to dive deeper within themselves to be able to have a bigger impact on their students. As a main theme, you’ll be guided in the art of teaching single arm mace techniques. This will help you as an instructor with a system for your more advanced students who are willing to continue and uplift their mace practice. In level 2 you will go through a detailed process to learn how to teach and organise a workshop. We will pay a lot more attention on the mastery of coaching and discuss multiple teaching methodologies for you to become a more well rounded instructor. This will involve diving deeper into yourself through self exploratory exercises. Furthermore level 2 will be a place where experienced instructors come together to learn from each other and to create a powerful community of instructors who will keep spreading the art the mace.
Three Phases
Phase 1
The initial phase of the Mace Instructor Certification Course is done online and before the start of phase 2, the live certification. It involves completing two online courses, Mace Flow SIX and Gada/Mace SIX. These courses are extensive and require the student to spend more time with the mace than the introductory 101 courses. Through these courses you will learn the most prominent single arm swings, and more complex flows. Completing these courses successfully will properly prepare you for the level 2 instructor certification.
Phase 2
During 5 days we’ll come together as a group to an experience that will change your life. We will take off where we finished with level 1 and go deep into mace, workshop and teaching methodology. Everyone present during this certification is a level 1 instructor already and has gone through Phase 1 beforehand. This means a combined depth of knowledge and experience that will catapult us into a deep process from day 1. Some of the topics for the level 2 course include: single arm mace techniques, teaching methodologies, storytelling, workshop organisation, breath, anatomy, flow, benefits, group exercises, and much more.
Phase 3
Phase 3 starts after completing the level 2 instructor certification. You will be added to a special level 2 instructor group which will meet regularly through online calls. This is to ensure that our level 2 instructors are up to date on the latest developments, and will have proper guidance in their advances to instruct more often with more depth. The syllabus that’s included in the certification is elaborate and will give you all the details needed in written format.
