Beautiful things these crutches are. They're good props, though not too sturdy for combat. At least, not if you try to use it as a club...

I've messed around with crutches as a weapon, usually with just one crutch, held at the handle, and shortened so that it's not touching the ground when underneath my armpit. Ideally, you'd want to strike with either end, almost as if you were using the butt of a gun, although you could thrust the bottom part into your opponent's face...

But hey, no striking weapon is much good if there's no way to counter blows with it. Parrying was a bit tough at first but I think I got it down. I'll have to take some video shots demonstrating a few.

Yes, please do record some videos demonstrating. That's awesome: from then on, the handicapped will actually be able to defend themselves.

Now that I think about it some, they almost feel like long, clumsy tonfas. Except you can't whack a person with em all that well...

Definatly get video.

I love Fighttips, who else has forum topics about this?!

I think that'd be a good weapon. No one would expect the crutches you're on to be weild as a weapon against them. Well atleast not skillfully weilded lol

this is rediculus i will give nay person handicap or not two crutches any day there to long and oaky and you leave your self open and when ur on the ground getting smaked iwth the crutch that you tried to hit some one with make sure some ones taping so i can watch it about 3000 times aday

I would most probs use the bottom end of the crutches (the end the grounds on) to poke in a persons face, sort of like eye gouging.
The butt is the end id prefer to use, since I would use it as a club. I reckon it would have a good solid whack in it aswell

Time to necro this thread straight to top. While I never did get any video, it's pretty simple to use as a club. A very long club. But if you hang onto the section you normally would, and thrust, you get a long tonfa. Or, reverse the grip and hit with the top. With the reverse grip the crutch should be covering the outside of your arm, making it capable of blocking shots to the head, arm, whatever.

You know what, I should get some pics/video of this. It'd really help demonstrate how taking a straight long conglomerate of handles and turning it into a weapon works.
