Jav/mace is a good and effective style, if properly applied.
First: do NOT hold the point up. Hold the jav as if you'd throw it at any second, with the point down, gripped about halfway (but in your left.)
Second: the jav is your big, cheap, unbreakable shield, but it is flimsy. Try to punch-block, and respond with a quick jab into their leg, or hip.
Third: Unless you have a big * of a mace, learn the rush step. It WILL make the difference against shields. Move in quickly, and use the omnidirectional strinking surface of the mace as a drumstick and you're sounding the alarm all up and down their back.
Fourth: Throw the jav every once in a while, to keep them on their toes.
