Clubs have been used in warfare since the beginning of human history. They can be found in every culture and have many different forms. A club can be made out of anything, in north america they were commonly made out of hardwood and some had stone heads. An example of a club from north america would be the gun stock war club. The Celtic peoples from the British isles had wooden club with metal bands wrapped around the top for added weight when swung. From the Celtic war club came the mace, which was used well into world war 1 in the trenches. Although clubs are not as popular in today’s world forms of clubs can be seen still being used by law enforcement as a form of non lethal weaponry called collapsible batons.
