I'm with Reb on quarterstaffs. I got 2 of 'em...still not entirely sure what to call them, I've both heard Quarterstaffs are 1/4 the length of a standard staff, thus Cudgels/clubs, but also that it's 1/4 the width, or the diameter of a quarter...the ones I got were standard bamboo poles from the OSH Gardening section (15 cents each!), wrapped with leather...tried unsuccessfully to put a footpad and mount a gem on one, the other I just keep raw for sparring. It's sweet, I can disarm just about anyone faster than they can draw, and there's always the added bonus of attacking with either end...it's really a beautiful weapon when it's done right.
