THE ORIGINAL. THE BEST. THE MACEBELL.

Where to purchase a macebell or gada in Europe?

I just moved to Rotterdam, Netherlands from the US and I am having macebell withdrawals. I had a monster mace back in KC that went up to 30lbs and I was happy with it. Can anyone help me find a place that sells them on this side of the pond?

I also work out with KBs and alternative strength training equipment aside from regular free weights. I had my lil arsenal back in the States. I am slowly building mine here. I just purchased some KBs from Helisports. They actually just came in this past Monday. Anyway, I will be giving you a phone call very soon. Thanks for the response.

I am looking for a way to buy some real macebells from Torque. Their prices are very reasonable, but the shippingprices to Rotterdam makes me very unhappy. However, I know a lot of the importers in the Dutch fitness world, maybe if we can get a few ordered at the same time, we can get one of them to import them for us. I would be able to buy a few of them, they would be an asset to my gym. I want to have the coolest gym, no matter how small it is. Except for gada, I allready own clubbells, sandbags,sledgehammers/tire, sloshpipe, waterkegs, kettlebells, sledge, battlingropes, different kinds of punching bags, stretchbands, thickbar grips, monkey bars, trx-like rings, I can show you how to maker better/sturdier rings then TRX, for less then 40 euros. Any idea how to improve my gym would be very apreciated.
If u have time, phone me. greetings carlo; ▶ Reply to This

Just wanted to say thanks again for having me over at your gym. It was great getting to work out with the macebell again. It was also nice to play with all of the other great equipment you have like the clubbells and your modified blast straps. Super cool! I felt like a lil kid in a candy store. I am really looking forward to my next visit.

BTW - here is a link to those clubbells I was telling you about I found on Ebay.

I hope to be able to order some of your macebells at some time. I see that people in Brazil and France are also influenced by you, so let us hope that it will grow even more from here on. Also thank you that there is a place where people can meet on internet, without calling each other terrible names, because that is 1 thing I really hate. Keep up the good work and thank you again, also on the wrestling/mma, by the way. As a blackbelt in pancrase under Bas Rutten, I know you are on the right path.

Permalink Reply by carlo thuvis on January 8, 2010 at 1:43pm: hi Jake, pancrase is great, but is a shame for us in Holland, that Bas Rutten moved to the states. He is a great guy, not only a legenday champion, but also a great trainer. And maybe more important, very down to earth and funny. I guess, he has so much selfconfidence, he does not need to be arrogant, as a shield. He told us just in the open that the japanese pancrase people were so good in shooting, that he was forced to adapt. If you wanted to spar with him, he would not take advantage or take revenge.
