Many people are purchasing maces and trying to learn use them just from videos.
Others just try teach themselves through trial and error (mostly error).
Neither one of these things are necessarily bad, they are just not the best way to learn.
What is bad is when someone who has no credible experience claims to be a mace instructor and gets people to pay him for sloppy, poorly done lessons.
The general public, unfortunately, does not know the difference.
The best way to learn how to use a mace is to learn in person with a good coach.
Our leadership team can provide that.
At a macefit.com certification, you will learn safe, correct technique.  You  will also learn to write solid training programs, ones that have been used in real life by real people.
