Consulting

My name is Dávid Komjáthy, and I was born in Győr. Sport has been part of my life since childhood. Even then, I looked at sport from a much deeper perspective than simple exercise or competition. In elementary school I played basketball, and in high school I played volleyball. At 17, after trail running, weightlifting made me fall in love with strength sports. Training with weights opened up a new dimension for me. After a successful advanced-level physical education graduation exam, I obtained my fitness trainer and nutrition consultant qualifications in Austria. I started working in various gyms in the direction of weightlifting and bodybuilding.

Maces brought me a sense of true direction in life. I always searched for a method through which I could develop myself—and people—physically, mentally, and spiritually. I believe I found it, because the mace method contains the physicality of strength sports and the soul of martial arts. That is why it is so special. When I discovered maces, I did not hesitate: I immediately began serious and in-depth research to understand their mental, spiritual, and practical background. First, I learned about Indian traditions and practiced spinning Indian maces (gada, mudgar, karlakattai), including Indian clubs. After that came exploring the Persian tradition and, within it, practicing the meel.

I started university with a clear purpose. In Győr, at Széchenyi István University, Faculty of Sport Sciences, I continued in the Recreation and Lifestyle program, where my studies and scientific work were shaped by my passion and dedication to maces. I learned the skills of scientific research and thinking, which helped me dive deeper into my research field. During this time I also became familiar with the Gerundium tradition—an exceptional Hungarian tradition: a mace-based sport requiring strength and endurance.

I learned the art of Gerundium first-hand from Dr. Pál Antal, Grand Master of the Order of Gerundium Knights, who entrusted me with the task of developing the tradition also from a sport-specific perspective. I was inducted as a Gerundium Knight on May 24, 2025, in the courtyard of the Debrecen Reformed College. On the 25th, Dr. Pál Antal knighted me on Tokaj Hill. After that, I completed my final exam with excellent results. The title of my thesis was “The Path of the Mace,” which I successfully defended.

Going forward, I work to bring the art of the mace to as many people as possible—an outstanding and unique sport alongside today’s frantic trends. I want to help those who are not satisfied with the average, who want to practice an exciting and enjoyable sport, build muscle and strength, and stay physically mobile and healthy. I also want to help those who wish to develop physically, mentally, and spiritually at the same time—and those who simply don’t know what sport to choose.

I welcomed the founding of ToldiClub with great joy, and I immediately encouraged a partnership with them. In the country, there is no—and there wasn’t then either—company that manufactures maces domestically with such a wide selection. As a coach, I was looking for products I could use for my training sessions. For this, I naturally needed high-quality, durable tools in large quantities. I have been using ToldiClub equipment for private trainings and for training my clients for years, and in my opinion they are flawless. With the trust built over the years of cooperation, I decided I wanted to represent them on a deeper level. Today, I am proud to strengthen the ToldiClub team.

I began my research immediately after getting to know the mace; this field completely captivated me. I search for and examine official sources on a daily basis. I research the mace from its formation all the way to its modern appearance, following the weapon’s development as well as its emergence as a training tool. My goal is to explore the still-undiscovered and the discoverable traditions across the entire Eurasian continent, to better understand temporal and cultural changes.

My research currently focuses on three main areas:

Part of the research also includes the physiological and morphological examination of the tool itself, which determines what effect the mace has on the human body.
