Wolf Brigade – Mace Varial from Wolf Brigade on Vimeo.
Our front pendulum, pendulum shove, and now the “Varial” are a few movements we’ve been using to compliment the behind-the-body swings such as 360′s and 10-2.
Movements with the mace are simple, yet take significant coordination and strength to perform correctly; luckily they are just as much fun to practice as they are useful in physical development.

Wolf Brigade – Mace 360 from Wolf Brigade on Vimeo.
The mace is our favorite tool for hitting all those hard-to-reach corners that can be a challenge to develop strength in.
Used correctly, swinging/ lifting maces can build an aggressive “grab somebody” kind of strength like no other implement we’ve found.
