The Persian Gorz, also known as the mace, is a traditional strength training implement rooted in ancient Iranian martial arts culture. Historically symbolizing power and justice, the gorz was wielded by legendary heroes in Persian epics like the Shahnameh, often depicted as an ox-headed club used in decisive battles.
Material: Crafted from hand-selected North American hardwood for durability and a natural feel.
Finish: Coated with all-natural linseed oil to preserve the wood and enhance grip.
Dimensions: Available in various sizes—commonly 36 to 42 inches in length and weighing between 5 to 9 kg.
Form: Taller than traditional meels (Persian clubs), with a bold teardrop designed for fluid, rotational movement.
Rotational Strength: Its unique geometry allows for dynamic swinging exercises that activate the shoulders, core, and grip strength.
Single-Club Focus: Unlike paired meels, the gorz is used solo, emphasizing control, balance, and full-body coordination.
Functional Fitness: Ideal for athletes, martial artists, and movement enthusiasts seeking to build explosive power and joint resilience.
In Zoroastrian tradition, the gorz is more than a weapon—it’s a symbol of divine protection and cosmic order.
Mythical figures like Mithra and Ferēdun are said to wield gorzes in their battles against evil, reinforcing its spiritual and heroic legacy.
