Cudgel play lays stress on a sweeping action so the saying goes "with a cudgel you sweep all around." Some tricks employed for other weapons (such as spear and sabre) can also be used in cudgel play.
Cudgel is played as quickly as heavy rainfall and cudgel play combines offence with defence, always changing the ways of play.

It should be noted that cudgel and backsword players fenced without any form of protective equipment and that the bouts were fenced until one of the fencers had his "head broke," meaning that an inch or more of blood was drawn on the victim's forehead.
It is meant to prove the competitors' ability to maintain form and poise while under attack and to show one's "stiff upper lip" in withstanding the blows of one's opponent.
In cudgel play neither of the competitors is allowed to move their feet.

 Cudgel War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Club War (also Cudgel War, Finnish Nuijasota, Swedish Klubbekriget) was a 1596 peasant uprising in the kingdom of Sweden against the exploitation by the nobility and military in what is today Finland.
The name of the uprising derives from the fact that the peasants could not afford Zweihander swords, mounts and lances or muskets that could reliably penetrate the plate armor of the swedish knights, thus they armed themselves with maces, iron cudgels and other blunt weapons.
It is also notable that the Cudgel war was the only major rebellion in Finland during the 600 years Finland was a part of Sweden.

The Foundation's Insect Resistant Maize for Africa Project (IRMA), a partnership with international and national public research institutions, is developing new varieties of insect-resistant maize.
In contrast to the widely reviled "chemical cudgel" used by the agro-industry, the "green cudgel" - biological pest control - receives the highest praise when it involves eliminating vermin and weeds in a targeted and environmentally friendly way while maintaining biological diversity.
While the first example above is rightly regarded as a tremendous success story, which brought Hans R. Herren, the director of the program concerned, the World Food Prize, the second unintentionally led to the spread of a species that is now wreaking havoc in an alien ecosystem as a dangerous pest in its own right.
