Indian clubs

The malicious minions of the evil Mrs. Gillyflower (Dame Diana Rigg) wield Indian clubs as weapons in this nicely-researched scene from the Doctor Who episode, The Crimson Horror.

In reality, Indian clubs were used as weapons by members of the Jujitsuffragette bodyguard team circa 1913.
