Need a mace? Here's my pick
Get your steel from White Lion Athletics.
White Lion is a Winnipeg company making steel maces, clubs and kettlebells. If you're buying your first mace before the certification, this is where I'd start. Use my code ANANDONDHIA at checkout.
On a tighter budget? I've also listed some affordable first maces on Amazon.ca to get you started.
I earn a commission on orders made through these links. It costs you nothing extra.
