Specific ancient warrior training methods are essential for optimising body functionality and building immense strength. This enabled ancient warriors to crush opponents and become champions!
With a tainted view of exercise, our modern obsession with becoming bigger, faster, and stronger has overshadowed the requirement to first, move well.
Following the same mundane movement patterns at the gym leads to dysfunction and poor core strength.
Devoting time to participating in fun and alternative training methods will no doubt significantly increase your mobility and functionally!
Mace Bell
An exemplary example of an unconventional, yet highly functional, ancient warrior training method is the mace bell.
Use of the mace derives from ancient history. These effective tools were used as weaponry (in various forms). A typical mace had a long handle with a round, sometimes spiked, head.
A successful warrior would see the potential for such a tool as both a bludgeon as well as a versatile training apparatus. The swinging motion of this tool requires both body awareness and balance and is performed through unilateral exercises.
This functional training tool not only works by disrupting balance and pushing the user to gain stability, by using core muscle groups. It also helps the body to Develop fluid motions through rhythmic movement patterns and is great for developing coordination and stability. In addition, these skills greatly improve tasks such as throwing and running!
Improving the base level of your movement capacity is imperative to functioning well and staying injury-free.
Now that you understand the importance of moving well, it’s time to try some functionality exercises.
