This guy is F’in awesome. Herbert is the Dutch mace specialist. He travels the world and he’s always got his mace with him.

He has some awesome videos flowing outside of places like the Taj Mahal, Golden Gate Bridge, and many more equally dope places. His travels to India, the home of the Gada (the original mace training tool), are really fun to follow. He’s one of our personal favorites to keep an eye on.
