Heavy Padding
Slash-Legal Padding with an edge-to-edge cross section of 4” or greater is automatically considered Heavy Padding.

    1. Heavy Padding added must start within 3” of the Striking Tip and proceed continuously towards the handle.
    2. Heavy Padding Substitution: For each inch of Heavy Padding added you may replace one (1) inch of required Slash-Legal Padding with Incidental Padding. Incidental Padding added in this manner must begin by replacing the Slash-Legal closest to the handle and then proceed continuously towards the Striking Tip. A weapon cannot substitute more than 50% of its Slash-Legal surfaces this way.
      Example: A 48” Long weapon would typically have 32” of Strike-Legal followed by 16” of handle and pommel. Using Heavy Padding Substitution you could have 16” of Heavy Padding, followed by 16” of Incidental Padding, and then 16” of Handle.
