Bad Wolf MMA thanks

The sticks I used were hollow. My heaviest one is just under 20kg

They are plastic fish bowls

Thanks

I don’t know a ton about cement. As long as the new cement would bond with the old cement then yes

@@KettlebellKimberlyFox It's a good idea to add lead shot or coarse gravel to the cement to get a heavier mace without having to use a lot of cement and to keep the head at a manageable size.

Because sometimes you just want to swing bamboo and concrete. I have steel maces as well. But these swing different because all the weight is in the head.

@@KettlebellKimberlyFox that’s a good point with the weight being concentrated

@@bobdole7292 there is also flex in the Bamboo which definitely changes the feel.

Very true.

Yep. You could also use glass containers and then break the glass after

I just ordered one's I found on Amazon. You will pre mix the cement and then put the mold on a scale as you fill it. This way you get the weight you want.

So if I make a 20 kg gada, I must order 20 kg cement?

You will need less because water will account for some of the weight. For the 3 gada I used less than 2 bags of cement. 38lb/ 28/ 18lb

Each bag weighed how much

Any and all adjustable makes I know of that aren't gonna fly off the handle are metal. So if you can weld then yes.

I'm planning to make a 15lb mace with a short 3/4" diameter steel pipe for a handle instead of wood. The exposed end of the pipe will be threaded, so you can attach a pipe fitting to it called a coupling, which allows you to screw in another pipe of any length. As for the end which gets embedded in the concrete, attaching a flange or a T fitting will give the concrete something sturdy to grab on to. 3/4" steel pipe is very sturdy, and it's really not that heavy at all.

What is your question? Yes I have thrown a man, but generally he is not so far away from my body as the Gada. The benefits are many but to say they are the same as wrestling.... I would say not. Are they a benefit? Yes they are.

@@KettlebellKimberlyFox Then you should practice the routine in traditional Indian wrestling and work with guys who have been practicing for years to understand the motion dynamics and it's applications. Gada is not a tool only for weight training, like Kettle bells and clubbells it had its applications and that is the reason it was used. But you have your own choice and can use it the way you want
