What type of athlete doesn’t need healthier shoulders?
How about stronger hands, wrists, & forearms? Or maybe improved midline stabilization? Let’s not forget coordination, okay? I can’t think of any, can you? Steel clubs & maces can help in all those areas. Join us this coming Saturday at 11:00am at the Cave and learn from my coach, Don Giafardino.

Staying focused when life gets tough
Many things can break your focus if we let them. Staying true to your goals is especially important when things go wrong. Chaos does not have to be your default way of life. Much of it we bring on ourselves through TV, news, and social media. Add busy work schedules, parenting, school, etc. and things canContinue reading “Staying focused when life gets tough”
