I use an aluminum trainer for slashing, and a short stick for slashing and thrusting. The end is beveled so that no tearing will occur. It is good to be able to thrust full power with a stick as it teaches you to grip well. Since there is no tang, you must hold on as your full-power thrust hits. For the wavemaster, foam may be a better option due to the durability of the bag.
