  • These types of short-handled clubs were mainly used as a striking weapon. The blow administered with this weapon was a horizontal thrust straight from the shoulder at the enemy’s temple. If the foe could be grasped by the hair then the patu would be driven up under the ribs or jaw. Patu were made from hardwood, whale bone, or stone.

    Absolutely fantastic! Superb to see correct hold and usage too. Personally I love these for history, the spirit of it, shape and how convenient it is to transport when needed. Although similar to the Hawaiian ones I've seen that I chided shark teeth, this will always be my favourite. Great upload. Earned a new subscriber

    My tribe has a Whale Bone War Club that is very similar to this halfway around the world in the U.S.A. No knowledge of how the weapon was used has been passed down. I am on a journey of rediscovery in learning to make and use our War Club. I would love to come train with you if that is possible.

      Only the most skilled warriors could use patu, because they were going up against long range weapons, you must flick your wrist each time you do a patu movement, placing the patu upside down against someone’s neck, then twisting and pushing through their neck would detach the head of the opponent from their body, there’s moves like Upoko, hitting the head, kopako, hitting the temple, whakawaha, striking the chest then using the bottom of the patu to knock the opponent out if not wanting to kill him

    although not really recorded, my mothers lineage had there own special weapon, it was called a "widows knife" apparently historically her lineage believed that if you proposed to a widow she had the right to fight you for the right to refuse, and they had a special knife to fight with
    edit: the knife was a curved knife, with a single edged sickle blade with the blade sharpened on the outside of the sickle instead of inside, the purpose was using a basic idea of hook there arm with the blunt hook part and lock there arm with a twist, then pull down to bend them far enough to wuickly raise the blade away from there arm and slash the throat, the practise died out 200 years ago, but the knives are still presented to widows of the same lineage

      @@admiralgoodboy it is not dying, it is growing from the seeds of an old tree and in NZ itself maori ways are taught to whites and born maori alike (there is no discrimination to learn). I am not maori, but growing up I was not excluded from learning maori ways in Australia and was accepted often into classes. I love the taiaha but lately have been thinking of carving a pounamu mere or patu.

      wolfie83 yes well i am maori and im born and raised in New Zealand my experience is all first hand all my life. And though we have preserved and revived much of our culture we have lost and losing much more. Alot of our kuia and kau matua are dying and with it alot of knowledge of the old ways with it they don’t really share it because most not all of the young people aren’t interested so they dont go to ask them about that much about that side of our culture also alot of old meanings to maoritanga are being forgotten and being replaced with new meanings which is really losing it wehi (which means, essence of life force) and Maori are a very traditional people’s as remembering the essence of the old tribal ways were at one of the highest maori values all in the bigger picture of retaining self identity, strength and unity the family groups through kinship all connected and reconnected through ancestral history

    Would you say that wahaika typically had feathers on the end of the lanyard? I’m wondering if the same distraction technique demonstrated with this patu would have been used with a wahika.

      Because it's is not a knife but more for striking and distraction it took and still does take the most lethal of warrior to yield it, unlike the Taiaha it does not leave your hand

      ​@@BigRedRicketts Yes it does. You could throw the patu & retract it. It has a far more agile striking range than a taiaha.
