    Julio Zavala

    Julio brings tremendous value to the Steel Mace practice here at St. Pete Calisthenics.
    Steel Mace Flow is an unconventional functional movement system that utilizes the steel mace. In ancient times the mace was known as a gada. Due to the offset weight distribution the gada was able to utilize the momentum of a swing to cause great damage to its target. In present day the mace is utilized as a tool to bring the mind body and spirit into alignment through a system of dynamic movement and flow aka transient hypofrontality.
    Steel Mace Flow is an ancient balance of dynamic movement, dance, strength training, endurance and flow. Because of its ability to grant access to pain-free movement, grace and strength it has become the focal point of my own personal training practice and I am excited to share this with you!
    Join Julio for his Steel Mace Foundations class on Saturday mornings at 9:30am!
