As in a Pell Grant, which allows underprivileged people to get higher education?
Am I anywhere near?

Didn't Bruce Lee use a more modern version to practice his strikes and blocks?

Not sure what you are referring too but I just had a nursing student from somewhere in SWA bring me in a whole little plastic cups of those "pells" to take before dinner.

Walking Pell?
Used 'em in the SCA to practice sword techniques. I didn't know the martial arts ones were called pells also. Interesting. I figured they'd have some cool Eastern sounding name for 'em. (Unless that's where the term originated.) I always assumed the name was European.

P.S. Anyone ever been called a walking pell?
