Overview:

Hey guys, my name is Matt Murray.

I have been working in the fitness industry for over a decade now, I have seen every phase and trend come and go, then come again. TRX to twisty fancy press up handles all the way through to the most recent hyrox and hoka trend.

Most of the trends you see are just that, a trend. I have dedicated my training to becoming my own superhero – you know the martial arts films you watch or the marvel movies – yeah, just like that. My passion lies in movement but more importantly the human body. Defying the ‘pick one’ concept and proving you can be big and functional. Not many 100+kg guys can throw a standing backflip or box jump 50”.

Before I found the Mace/Gada I have trained in and often competed in various disciplines

• - Karate
• - Mma
• - Muay thai
• - No gi bjj
• - Basketball
• - Rugby
• - Iceskating
• - Parkour
• - Circus performance and acro yoga 
• - Trampolining 
• - Calisthenics both strict and freestyle
• - Bodybuilding
• - Surfing
• - Unconventional strength training

To name a few – and there more 

I like to try everything – set my mind to a new goal and don’t quit until I can do it well.

All these disciplines led me to where I am now. Trust me when I say I never expected to be so passionate about a stick with a weight on the end. Then I swung it – I was hooked.

I first discovered the training style while at a local gym, I had taken 1.5g of mushroom chocolate and was casually dangling from a pull up bar. There was a guy in the corner of the room with a wizard beard and long hair, floating about with these two wooden clubs. It looked beautiful and peaceful... so I asked if he could show me what he was doing… that’s the day that changed it all.

Some months later I posted this to my Instagram story and a company reached out to me about becoming the ambassador for their steel mace collection. I would take them everywhere in the boot of my car. From fitness expos to local meetups, the mace came everywhere with me.

Over time I noticed my shoulder pains from the years of gym abuse had eased up and eventually disappeared completely, it was time to up the weight!

Moving to the island of Bali in Indonesia, a place rich in Hindu culture, I was surprised there was no maces here. Considering the strongest most powerful Hindu god is hanuman and his weapon of choice is the gada. In fact, every statue you pass in Bali, they’re usually holding a gada or club of some description.

I decided to start making my own gadas her on the island - bamboo and concrete.. the way they make them In India.

And here we are today...
