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

This is the bear pit, not the college boy forum.

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

I believe you are referring to Wing Chun dummy ( http://www.wckfc.com/news/dummy/) or "Mok yan jong" as they call it in my school.
Great for basic and forms, not so much for actual combat conditioning
Yes, Bruce Lee used it in his early years while still training under Yip Man...
here's a trivia, Lee Jun Fan, Bruce's original Chinese name is a girls name
