Club

An assortment of club weapons from the Wujing Zongya from left to right: flail, metal bat, double flail, truncheon, mace, barbed bace

A club is a short staff or stick, usually made of wood, wielded as a weapon. Most clubs are small enough to be swung with one hand, although larger clubs may require the use of two to be effective. Various specialized clubs are used in martial arts and other fields, including the law-enforcement baton. The military mace is a more sophisticated descendant of the club, typically made of metal and featuring a spiked, knobbed, or flanged head attached to a shaft.
