Clubbing axe

Clubbing axe

A clubbing axe is a boffering (foam fighting) weapon which is 50 to 60 inches long which has a blade and handle of equal length. It can be used like a club, hence the name, but can also be handled as a two-handed sword. It is a two-handed weapon which is used for taking out light infantry, good for charging and taking out opponents quickly as well as breaking up formation. Weaknesses include being poor at handling double teams, because of its odd handle-to-blade ratio it makes it very hard to maneuver when fighting more than one person at a time. Can be slow to maneuver if the fighter has low upper-body strength because generally it is a heavy weapon. The extra weight is required for it to be more effective at fighting light weapons.
