Are there any specific martial arts that utilize heavy hammers/mallets?

Just hit them with it.
Not everything needs to have a "martial art" to them.
Most tools used as weapons were just used by people used to handling them all day and a bit of common sense.

I can do you one better

That's just dumb. There is always a more competent way to utilize a weapon. I've seen martial arts definitions on how to use a rag or a fork or chopsticks as weapons. I'm sure something exists for mallet style hammers, it just won't be lengthy because of the limited options of using this type of short blunt weapon. OP might be better off looking into how to use a club or a mace, it might be similar.

Watch the Raid 2 and learn indonesian martial arts

Yes, and what i am saying is that it most likely was not noted down as a "martial art" because people that did it saw it as common fucking sense at the time.

Dude just hit people with the hammer. Fuck, this isn't rocket surgery.

>Rocket surgery

Sloppy bait. I remember when trolling was an art.

These definitions are there to turn something that isn’t a weapon into a weapon. Doesn’t really work when what you’re using is already a weapon.

Just use axe techniques.

good answer. Who teaches ax? Other than combat hopak (and good fucking luck finding that in the states)

Not to my knowledge, but really, the most you need to know is how to hold them for control or power and how to slide that grip between those points.
Now for a two handed larger piece, there are, but not reallt for sledges/mallets, but rather warhammers. If you wanna use a mallet as a warhammer better make sure you're Sigmars heir first.

Never really got why people have been so enamored with "styles" and "martial arts"

Like nigga you're just hitting the other guy with a fucking hammer it ain't complicated you don't need to call it doskotto kimi no nangen to cave a skull in

As an autist who used to dabble in the LARP arts, using a hammer like an axe is a chore due to weight distribution/balance.

yes its called "Fuck you, nigger!"

This, a basic carpenters framing/clawhammer is probably a much better weapon anyway simply because of a better balance.

No, because weapons as heavy as a lump hammer would be too slow and tiring to use in combat. Sure, you might bash the first guy's brains in. What about the second? The fifth? Swing just a little too slow and someone's already stuck a sword in your face.That's why war hammers were relatively light, and big cartoonish maces weren't a thing.
