Hawaiian weapons

The tripping club is called a pikoi, and I get the impression that it was used as a meteor hammer, as well as a "slung shot."

I saw a brief section on a program a few years back, about the formations the Hawaiians used with their long spears. Has anyone seen any information on that?

Best,
