These Tonfa are very good for practice. They are very light and easy to spin in my hands. The Size of the grip is perfect for a guy with big hands like myself. I got the 24 inch tonfa and its really only 22 inches, so if you think you need a 20 inch get the 24 inch. There was a sticker on the top of one of the Tonfas that was a real pain in the butt to remove. Took me a good 10 min with soap and water to scrub it off. Another problem with my tonfas is that one of them came with what appears to be the beginning of a surface crack, or a very large chipping. Its not chipped yet or anything because I have not used it against any other real weapons like my Bo. I would not recommend using them against sturdy weapons because of this. I have also herd a lot of people say that the handles come a little loose, This was not the case for me, They came just fine and very tight. However They don't look very reinforced and I am sure they will come loose after a lot of practice. I recommend this as your secondary Set of Tonfa to practice on dummies or other soft objects, but do not spar with them They simply don't feel sturdy enough for that.
