Pugil stick

Okay kiddo, let's talk about a pugil stick. It's like a big padded stick that you use for playing a game or practicing fighting moves.

You might have seen those big sticks that some kids play with in the park- those are a bit like pugil sticks, but pugil sticks are much better because they have big, soft pads on the ends to keep everyone safe.

People use pugil sticks when they're training to be in the military or in martial arts. They're really helpful because they let you practice hitting things without actually hurting anyone.

So, to sum it up: pugil sticks are sticks with big, soft pads on the ends that people use for training and playing. They're kind of like big, soft toy swords!
