A mace is a blunt weapon, a type of club or virge that uses a heavy head on the end of a handle to deliver powerful blows. A mace typically consists of a strong, heavy, wooden or metal shaft, often reinforced with metal, featuring a head made of stone, copper, bronze, iron, or steel.
The head of a military mace can be shaped with flanges or knobs to allow greater penetration of plate armour. The length of maces can vary considerably. The maces of foot soldiers were usually quite short (two or three feet, or seventy to ninety centimetres). The maces of cavalrymen were longer and thus better suited for blows delivered from horseback. Two-handed maces could be even larger.
Maces are rarely used today for actual combat, but a large number of government bodies (for instance, the British House of Commons and the U.S. Congress), universities and other institutions have ceremonial maces and continue to display them as symbols of authority. They are often paraded in academic, parliamentary or civic rituals and processions.

Indian Clubs | Suria Akhara GADA Mace Training Ladder Style Training 8kg, 12kg, 25kg GADA Mace This is a video about Suria Akhara GADA Mace Training. All the training is one handed, with each hand doing the same amount of repetitions as the other. The training is ladder style, it starts with an 8kg gada mace, then moving up to 12kg, and finally progressing to a 25kg gada mace. The video footage focuses on the back view, so that you can see the whole movement. I think it with noting the ground (floor) start, where the gada mace is swung between the legs and then flipped up onto the shoulder, or immediately swung. In this instance 360 swings are used one handed, and 10 to 2’s are two handed. Messing with a 100kg GADA Mace I was allowed into the akhara store room, where I spotted the 100kg...
My own spin on the Battlefield 1 trench club. I really like how they kept the club pretty small in the game for historical accuracy, would've been easy for them to make it into some hulking barbarian weapon, but they did well. Hope you guy like mine! Made of Ash wood, pipe fitting, and 12" spikes. Main song: Every Cloud - Rameses B Middle song/outtro: Where did I go? - Raybaboon
I will do a better video soon, featuring measurements, how its made and it being used. From wiki - Trench raiding clubs were homemade mêlée weapons used by both the Allies and the Central Powers during World War I. Clubs were used during nighttime trench raiding expeditions as a quiet and effective way of killing or wounding enemy soldiers. The clubs were usually made out of wood. It was common practice to fix a metal object at the striking end (e.g. an empty Mills bomb) in order to maximize the injury inflicted. Another common design comprised a simple stave with the end drilled out and a lead weight inserted, with rows of large hobnails hammered in around its circumference. Most designs had some form of cord or leather strap at the end to wrap around the user's wrist. Bosnian soldiers s...

I make a metal handle for the mace. Maces are great. A big spiked club that can do some real damage. The entire project was made on a metal lathe. It's the classic spiked club. There is no welding. A great project for a beginner. #Make #howto FOLLOW: https://www.instagram.com/thunderdog500/ Proyectos de torno para principiantes Начинающие токарные проекты शुरुआती खराद परियोजनाएं Music used: Dystopia by Per Kiilstofte https://machinimasound.com/music/dyst...

A comparison video between the advantages of swords and the advantages of maces. A mace is a blunt weapon, a type of club or virge that uses a heavy head on the end of a handle to deliver powerful blows. A mace typically consists of a strong, heavy, wooden or metal shaft, often reinforced with metal, featuring a head made of stone, copper, bronze, iron, or steel. A sword is a bladed weapon intended for both cutting and thrusting. The precise definition of the term varies with the historical epoch or the geographical region under consideration. A sword in the most narrow sense consists of a straight blade with two edges and a hilt, but depending on context, the term is also often used to refer to bladed weapons with a single edge. Here is a link to my other video Swords vs Polearms ht...

At 30" overall, it's the perfect length to deliver devastating blows at a short distance. Each hammered, cast metal mace has a 15" chain attached to its head, making it easier to render punishment from a distance. The handle is accented with a brass-plated cap at the bottom of the mace.
