I loved the time we had together Mark. This was a great moment where I saw you getting so excited about something you'd never seen before, yet wanted to do so badly. We need to hang out more often :)

Both of these men are a true treasure. Thank you for making these videos.

For me it's become Wildman video-Like-Watch rather than watch and think about liking...

Great to see an expert still had things to learn, fantastic

It's fun to see Mark struggle against his muscle memory to straighten his arms and keep the globe back. He really wants to return to order position.

Exactly. You see the concentration. His body wants to do the shield cast catch but you see his eyes internally focused on the new movement. Always say watch the eyes, are they focused on the external or are they looking onwards controlling the body

Love these two together

Nice Arnold/Carl Weathers moment at the end there

It looks like a sledge-hammer or axe swing without the strike.

I was just coming to make this same comment.

It looks like a heavy sledgehammer movement. It’s just “sticking” to the shoulder. It’s the transitions and “floating” over the shoulder that makes it sooooo cool! Thanks for sharing.

I sort of envisioned Mark tent-pegging annoying droids into dust.

Great collab and insights...!! The single hand one where the dutchman points out at 2:14 is termed as "Thol Suttru" by karlakattai practioners in South of India. Thol in tamil means Shoulder. To perfectly master this swing it requires expert guidnace and lot of self pracise.

It's fascinating listening to these two exchange ideas and techniques. More vids with the Mark & The Flowing Dutchman!

This was fun to walk thru with you guys. 2 mace gurus on one video is pretty epic.

That was quite the "monkey wrench" Mark was swinging at the start of this one. Great content as always.

"Choke swing" EPIC!!!!!

This is why we don’t need knurling on the upper part of mace handles. Manufacturers, take note…

That's a great point about the knurling, especially for moves like this where the upper handle rests and drags on the shoulder.

Absolutely love this collaboration!

One sign of the truly great is humility. Nice to see how open you are to different philosophies Mark! Thank you Flowing Dutchman!

Another plus: you’re always armed while training. (Would you mug a man swinging a steel club in the park?) Ha.

Fantastic sharing of knowledge

nice work together thx, alot to learn

0:32 That looks so badass

This collaboration has been really great. Fantastic content.

Good stuff. Fun to watch (and learn).

Very cool. Love these collaborations.

I got this by choking up on a 2.5 pound wooden mace handle with 4.5 pounds of plates. I did tap my pate enough to notice but not to hurt. I think lighter weight on a less hardened handle is a good way to start learning this move. It felt better once I got it off of my shoulder. My neural circuits felt a little scrambled when I put it onto the other side. I'll try one side per day for a few days and hopefully then proceed from there.

love both your guys content

I think Mark needs to visit India to train with the Indian wrestlers. 50 kilos, 110lbs. Do they have maces that heavy here? So is that Los Angeles in the background?

You can view in your tube in India we have a competition where I have seen a guy more than 45 years of age moving 40 kg gada with single hand 15 time , and some youngsters 60 kg gada to 25 times 🙏

What an exceptional training video! Have loved training with both of you guys in person, and this really demonstrates your talent and humility Mark, open to sharing your platform and continuing to learn new techniques from others when also such a force. Superb! Did Harbert say Nasik? That’s where I did my yoga teacher training! 😃 Nxx

Pure awesomeness !

I do a version of this choke swing, but with right hand high, I'll keep me left arm relatively straight (habit from golfing), and I don't get choked.

Morning coffee,with this two. Great!

Another great collaboration! I've seen this done on Indian channels, but not speaking Hindi (Urdu?) it was hard to figure out what is going on. Thanks Flowing Dutchman for breaking this down!

Hindi and Urdu are mutually intelligible and share a lot of vocabulary with hindi having more sanskrit inspired vocab and urdu having arabic and persian roots. The primary difference is that urdu is written in a script from right to left(like arabic) and hindi is written left to right in a script called devanagiri which is also used for sanskrit.

This is great!

Great video❤

The odd couple in a way that's very cool. The Dutchman's style kind of artistic and beautiful. Mark's style very practical and a little more rigid style. Both great stuff.

Hello Mark from Tim in Japan! I have a thought as well as question. The people in India who swing a heavy mace or club, I wonder how much spinal injury or lack of back injury do they have in India in comparison to people who live in the United States or west? Your videos really make me think and having the Flying Dutchman is a GREAT cross-cultural discussion in relation to sports. BIG UP Yaself!

When I did Kung Fu there was a similar shoulder drag in a lot of dao movements. Fascinating.

Have you ever worked with David weck and his rotational movement training systems like rope flow, coiling core training, and bilateral torsion training? Might also elevate your programming by tying you into these additional patterns and possibilities for movement

@MarkWildman

My buddy “order and progress” discusses wreck with me often. I like the rope flow. I gotta run the program. We do coiling in everything. We just do it in a different training pattern. I like math, and spreadsheets so that’s how I organize it. Simple to complex. Light to heavy. It’s the same idea

Yeah, what muscles does it train?? Dude, can’t you see it’s efficient biomechanics under scalable load, utilizing pushing and pulling, adaptive grip strength, internal and external shoulder rotation, thoraccic spine rotation, spine flexion and antiflexion, balancing, kinesthetic contact with the ground, shoulder mobility and stability, cross-body stabilization, coordination between left and right hemispheres, cardiovascular capacity, strength endurance, mental flow, coordination of breath and abdominal bracing with movement, training of heart, lungs, fascia, muscles and nervous system all at the same time… with beauty of motion. Like, seriously.

I am barely getting started with a home made adjustable mace and clubs with very light weight, doing very basic movements. I can say that it does a lot of good to the upper back / thoracic spine as well as the shoulder girdle. I was walking upright better and upper body movements improved after mace and club swings. Really enjoy it as accessory to BB lifts, calisthenics, swimming.
