👉 A rep weapon, short for "repetitive endplate weapon," is a type of melee weapon that utilizes a compact, rigid endplate attached to a handle or shaft, typically made of metal. This design allows for efficient transfer of force from the user's arm to the weapon, enabling powerful and rapid strikes. Rep weapons are commonly used in various martial arts disciplines and self-defense systems due to their effectiveness, portability, and the ability to deliver significant impact with minimal movement. Examples include the bo staff, shuriken, and various types of batons, each adapted for specific combat or training scenarios.
