Clubs

Singlestick

A singlestick is a short club (about 0.3 to 0.6 meters) made of wood or rubber-coated metal. It can be improvised using just about anything. Commonly used in brawls, by peacekeepers, or as a practice weapon. Also known as baton, club, tonfa, wand, switch, or swagger stick. A variant known as the sap is made from a bag holding sand or lead bullets.
