WHAT IS A BULAVA MACE CLUB?
The Perfect Balance of Power, Flow & Control
The Dangerously Fit Bulava Mace Club is the perfect blend of a heavy club and a short steel mace, delivering the best of both worlds.
With its head-heavy design and compact length, it provides superior angular momentum, torque, and centripetal force, making it a formidable training tool for building grip strength, rotational power, and full-body conditioning.
Unlike a standard steel mace, which can sometimes feel cumbersome in lateral swings, or a steel club, which has the load distributed along an elongated barrel with a shorter handle… the Bulava Mace Club strikes the perfect balance… giving you the smooth, controlled motion of a mace with the explosiveness of a club.
Its length makes it ideal for two-handed mace exercises like the 360 and 10-to-2 while still allowing for lateral swinging movements like the mill.
Rather than moving in a linear path like conventional strength tools, the Bulava Mace is designed for circular, multi-plane movements that build strength, endurance, and power.
Available in weights from 2kg to 25kg, it’s a highly versatile tool perfect for both heavy training and dynamic flow workouts.
Forged from solid steel and powder-coated for superior grip and durability, the Dangerously Fit Bulava Mace Club is built to last.
The knurled handle ensures a secure grip, while the precisely weighted head delivers smooth, controlled movements… making it an essential weapon in your training arsenal.
FEATURES
WEIGHT IN KG
POWDER COATED FINISH
Powder coating provides a smooth yet grippy texture, enhancing your grip even when your hands are sweaty. It also retains chalk better than matte or epoxy finishes.
STEEL CAP TIP
Our Bulava Mace Club feature a durable steel cap tip that stays smooth over time, unlike plastic tips that can become jagged and risk tearing the skin on your hands.
KNURLING GRIP
The knurled handle enhances your grip, enabling you to swing heavier weights with confidence, without worrying about the mace slipping from your fingers.
WHAT SIZE SHOULD I BUY?
Bulava mace clubs are deceptively heavy because the grip is positioned far from the mace head’s center of mass.
This creates a leverage disadvantage, making clubs and maces both highly effective and uniquely challenging.
For example, an 8kg Bulava Mace Club feels significantly heavier than an 8kg dumbbell or kettlebell.
That’s why it’s important to start light as you develop the skill to control, stabilise, and move the mace with precision.
Your training goals also play a key role in selecting the right weight:
- Lighter Maces: Ideal for mobility, rehabilitation, and prehab.
- Medium-Weight Maces: Excellent for improving conditioning and muscular endurance.
- Heavy Maces: Perfect for building serious strength.
Always choose a weight that aligns with your goals and skill level for the best results.

BENEFITS OF BULAVA MACE CLUB TRAINING
GRIP STRENGTH & ENDURANCE
Unlike kettlebells, dumbbells, and barbells, which have traditional handles that rest on the skeletal structure (either pulling against the fingers or sitting in the heel of the hand), the Bulava Mace Club requires a different kind of grip.
When swinging the Bulava Mace, you must actively activate your forearm flexors to maintain your grip as the mace naturally tries to pull through your fingers.
FUN FULL BODY WORKOUTS
One of the standout benefits of Bulava Mace Club and what makes them so enjoyable and effective, is their ability to seamlessly combine movements into what’s known as a ‘flow workout.’
A flow involves linking three or more exercises into a smooth, continuous sequence. Each movement transitions naturally into the next, starting where the previous one left off.
CORE STRENGTH
Another advantage of the Bulava Mace Club is the ability to work your core while standing upright on two feet, mimicking the way we naturally move in daily life—rather than lying on the floor.
A strong core enables you to generate force from the ground up, which is especially valuable for athletes looking to enhance their performance.
DECOMPRESS JOINTS & TISSUES
Traditional strength training exercises like the bench press, squats, and deadlifts generate significant compressive force, which can compact your joints over time.
In contrast, swinging a mace through rotational movements creates tractional force, helping to decompress your joints and lengthen your connective tissue.
SHOULDER STRENGTH, MOBILITY & STABILITY
Bulava Mace Clubs are excellent for strengthening and dynamically loading the muscles of the shoulder girdle. The control required to accelerate and decelerate a mace during high-speed swings translates well to many sports, building shoulder strength, stability, and mobility.
Strength + stability + mobility = durability—and durability is your body’s key to staying resilient and injury-free.
REHAB & PREHAB
Lighter maces are ideal for rehabilitating the joints, tendons, and smaller muscles in the shoulders, elbows, and wrists.
Bulava Mace Clubs are also excellent for warming up and strengthening these critical areas before an intense workout, helping to reduce the risk of injury through effective prehab.
MULTI-PLANAR MOVEMENT
What sets the club and mace apart from other strength training tools is the ability to swing them through multiple planes of motion, rather than being limited to sagittal and frontal plane movements.
Transverse plane exercises—such as swinging, rotating, and twisting—are often overlooked in many strength and conditioning programs, despite their importance for building well-rounded functional strength.
ROTATIONAL STRENGTH
The design of the Bulava Mace Club makes it ideal for swinging, chopping, and twisting movements that generate rotational force, also known as ‘torque.’
Few training tools can challenge the body to move in rotational patterns like the club and mace, taking transverse plane training to an entirely new level!
HISTORY OF THE BULAVA MACE
ANCIENT WAR WEAPON
The Bulava, or war mace, has a rich history that traces back to the battlefields of Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
Originally, it wasn’t just a weapon… it was also a symbol of authority, used by groups like the Cossacks, Tatars, and other nomadic tribes.
The word “Bulava” comes from Slavic languages and translates to “mace” or “club.”
Traditionally crafted from wood, stone, or metal, the Bulava featured a weighted head designed to deliver devastating blows.
Beyond its utility in combat, it served as a ceremonial object, often carried by military leaders as a symbol of power and command.
In recent years, the Bulava evolved into a fitness tool, leveraging its unique design to build strength, coordination, and mobility.
BULAVA MACE PRODUCT REVIEWS
Verified ownerQuality construction and finish. This is a perfect first mace for me (GenX woman), being shorter than the standard size of all the other maces. It’s so much fun swinging this about and my body gets an awesome functional workout.
Verified ownerNicely made. Feels great in the hand
Verified ownerBest quality gear and service
Verified ownerIt need pommel, i fixed it myself, make moves effortlessly, safe.
Verified ownerAwesome quality as always, fast shipping. Use two maces for two handed work, for grip,shoulder work and general warm up. Deceptively hard for such a light weight because of the long leverage. Thanks
Verified ownerAs usual DF shows how it should be done. The equipment is magnificent and coupled with Dan’s videos you are all set to go. All the gear is great, yet there is something extra special about the Bulava line which has a flexibility that is hard to beat. Top stuff
Verified owner6kg Bulava Mace Club is excellent and quality equipment – well made, shaft diameter is perfect and grip texture really works.
As soon as the 6kg Bulava arrived I scrapped my dodgy third-party 4kg Bulava and ordered a replacement from Dangerously Fit.
Verified owner Verified ownerFantastcic bit of kit. Great quality, with extra grippy knurling.
The offset weight takes a bit of getting used to, but the variety of exercises is unreal and Dan’s tutorials are extremely helpful.
Verified ownerWell made and balanced
