Description
The Maverick Club is an adjustable weight plate loaded bamboo club inspired by the mugdar used by the Pehlwani wrestlers in India.
The club can be swung single handed, two handed or as paired with another club for doubles (2 clubs) training.
It weighs 2kg empty and comes with 1 x 0.5kg bamboo weight disk making the mace weigh 2.5kg in total, the grip lock collar is also included.
The club can also be loaded with Olympic weight plates and can weigh up to 25kg when fully loaded (additional Olympic weight plates not included).
The club combines the traditional design of the Indian Mugdar, with a beautiful wood finish and the practicality and cost effectiveness of using weight plates to increase the load to your desired weight.
Micro Loading
Increasing the load is a fundamental element for developing strength. However, an optimal strength progression system is overlooked in most training programs. This is one of the reasons why many people hit plateaus in their strength gains.
The Maverick Club is the perfect micro loading training tool, simply add more weight plates to your mace as your skill improves and watch your strength gains explode.
Weighing 2.5kg empty, but capable of holding 25kg fully loaded gives you a full rack of weights to train with making the Maverick Club the only club you’ll never need to own.
Bamboo
The Maverick Club is made from bamboo because it’s strong, durable, and sustainable.
Bamboo is the Worlds fastest growing plant and grows 15 times faster than other lumbar like pine. Bamboo is easy to grow, renewable and requires zero chemicals and pesticides.
It’s also incredibly strong and durable with;
- A higher tensile strength than many alloys of steel.
- A higher compressive strength than many mixtures of concrete.
- And, a higher strength-to-weight ratio than graphite.
Note: To keep the weight plates securely in place we recommend using one collar for every 8kg loaded onto the club.
For example;
2kg-8kg = 1 collar
8kg-16kg = 2 collars
16kg-24 = 3 collars

I really wanted an adjustable club for 2 handed training. I live in NZ and wanted an Adex style club. But the shipping was way too prohibitive. So I started looking at the Maverick. The service from Dangerously Fit was excellent. They answered via WhatsApp every question I had quickly and honestly.
The shipping from QLD to NZ was super efficient at a really reasonable price and everything thing arrived in good condition. I’ve been training with it now for 3 months. It’s brilliant. Changing weights is easy and efficient, they even give you a lock. More can be purchased from DF at a low rate for when working with extra weight. You will need to do your own research to find Olympic sized plates that don’t exceed 15cm (6 inches) in diameter for ultimate comfort when working shield casts and other behind the back moves. My only criticism (and it’s minor) is of the handle. I have medium sized hands and they just fit on the handle. If you have massive hands and are working 2 handed, the bottom hand will grab the pommel like you would Indian Clubs (pinkie and ring finger around the ball) Not really a problem, just something to be aware of. Also there is a finish on the bamboo that makes it a little slippery. Under heavy load on a hot day you become quite aware of this. However, the handle does have grooves cut into it for grip. Plus I’ve owned a set of Dangerously Fit 1kg Indian Clubs for over a year now and the finish on those was the same. Now however some of the finish has been replaced by the natural oils from my hand and it’s way better. I’m hoping the same will happen with my Maverick Club. Plus if it is slippery and hard to hold hopefully that just doubles the benefit for your grip strength, lol.
All up I think Dangerously Fit are putting out great products and this in no exception. I searched world wide taking into consideration design, price, shipping costs, length and diameter of all adjustable clubs and I would happily recommend the Maverick to anyone looking for a quality, affordable adjustable club.
