Always seek out the best instructors

Credible, experienced instructors are like gold.

In a world full of self-appointed experts, phony fitness gurus, and Internet cowards with big mouths; it is good to know that there are actually good solid coaches, trainers, & instructors out there too.

I learned decades ago, in my early classical martial arts days, that humility and respect were vital in having the opportunity to learn from seasoned, high-ranking instructors.

Though my focus of training is no longer martial arts, humility and respect are still very important.

Remember, the best instructors don’t need you, you need them.

When I was blessed to find several excellent coaches back in 2004, I learned everything I could from each of them as often as I could. I still learn from those same coaches and have sought out several more.

Don’t jump around trying to find the someone who has the lowest prices, remember you will get what you pay for.

Good instructors have invested thousands of dollars to learn what they know now.

You are not entitled to it for free or quickly!

 

Great job on our recent tests!

Digging deep and making it happen!

Today is macefit.com day!

We are really psyched to let you know about our new website,  macefit.com

which is for people who want to start a mace and club training program at their gym.

You can see numerous people swinging maces online, but that doesn’t teach you how to program  the training for people just starting out.

We have tested and refined our method for doing just that over the last couple of years and our program is well-established.
