Does anyone here know of a MA-style that employs a club, a little longer than the forearm, slung from the elbow?
I've been foolin' around with this and it's got some potential.

I think martial traditions worldwide have utilized some sort of club at some point in their history, the European mace for example. Not sure about slung from the elbow though, I don't recall seeing any representation depicting that...if I am correctly visualizing what you are saying.

Or do you mean The Club, which I think I saw Jackie Chan use in a movie once
