Is there anything wrong with using pipe? I mean, I like the weight, it's good for developing strength...but...it does kill those wimpy little rattan and bamboo twigs.

What is the ultimate for training in your guys opinion?
I'm not sure if its the "ultimate" for stickfighting training, but I bought some splitting maul handles at Home Depot/Lowes/wherever. I cut the big heavy ends off to make them the same length as my rattan sticks.

If you find the maul handles are too heavy and dense for you to flip and swing when stickfighting, then go for some axe handles, and do the same thing. Just be sure you don't pick up one of each by accident - if you haven't split any wood (heh..he said wood..) then you may not notice the difference right away.
