TRAINING VARIETIES

Where to begin. The modern day Mace bell or Steel Mace as it's more commonly referred to holds its origins all the way back from ancient India! The Mace bell is a modern evolution of the well known Indian Gada. Which is still used commonly across India and utilized across the globe by other practitioners. 

Macebells and Clubs alike have been gaining popularity and traction over the last decade, as functional strength and quality of movement become an ever growing priority in peoples training regimes. Looking good is great, being able to move without pain and look good is even better.. 

It's great that something so old has stuck around for us to utilise in the modern world, being one of the most functional strength tools on the planet IronxStone prides itself on being coaches and practitioners of this art.

Not only is it great for gaining Strength & Mobility in that niggly rotator cuff.. It is a perfect compliment for all the weapon training our warriors receive in our Viking Warrior Program. It may seem a little daunting at first, but fear not! Our coaches will keep you moving and change anything as necessary to suit.

Iron Core! Just as it sounds, this is our core based session. I know.. Ab workouts are generally the last thing to hit on anyone's list. So let me break it down for you before you shrug this one off!

To start, your core isn't just your "Abs". It also includes your Obliques, Erectors (Those muscles that run up next to your spine), Muscular slings that "criss cross" so to speak. Over the back and front of your mid section & much more deeper muscles. It's a complex piece of work, which is why it's SO important!

A strong core is necessary for practically everything.. you'll use it to brace, move, create power and torque and keep your back nice and safe.

A brief overview. Calisthenics as most people may (or may not) know is one of the oldest training styles around. Used by the famous Greek Spartans, body weight calisthenics is a versatile style of training that has transformed throughout the ages.

Today modern calisthenics is popular among athletes and the fitness community. Whether used as a primary part of a training regime, or used as accessories to compliment a weight program. Calisthenics has many applications and places within different styles of training. 

Body weight training is used heavily for its functionality and strength/mobility components. That are a perfect fit for Gymnasts, MMA & Fighting Athletes and of course IronxStone Vikings! 

Calisthenics can be as basic as Push Ups on your knees and as advanced as Full Muscle Ups on the bar. Calisthenics has its place at IronxStone as an integral part of our training week.
