S2 ep 14: What do the 2 ends of the anbo-jitsu sticks do?

The padded end is for hitting. Twitter quote: https://twitter.com/atrocityexhibi/status/1432383154027962372 "If I am watching this correctly, they are blind in the helmet and the one end of the stick has a proximity sensor. "

That summary sounds about right. I found the sticks to be so cumbersome and unwieldy that it actually slowed things down, which is not what you'd want in what is supposedly the ultimate evolution in martial arts (paraphrasing what Kyle Riker said).

I thought it was the natural evolution of sarcasta ball 😁

They also seemed to trip each other a lot.
