Clubbing or blunt weapons were popular among the Shaolin Monk Kung Fu practitioner for several reasons.
Because of their spiritual beliefs they didn't believe in hurting or killing. Although a blunt weapon could hurt, it was difficult to kill someone with a staff or stick.
What you would most likely do is subdue the attacker and hurt them. Many of them originated as farm tools and then became more refined and specialized with time.
