There are few ways to demonstrate to your friends just how high in your esteem they're held than to pummel them repeatedly around the head with a big Gladiators-style padded stick.

Our inflatable Pummel Sticks will have you following in the demonic Rhino's footsteps before you can say "talented presenter John Fashanu".

You get a set of two Pummel Sticks in each set and, having inflated them, all you need is someone to clout around the head, legs and torso. If you've had a particularly hard day in the office, a quick game of Pummel Sticks is the ideal way to unwind.

Imagine your opponent is your boss as you hammer his head into the carpet. If you really want to take the Gladiator's recreation a step further, then a tussle stood one-legged on your roof, might do it.

Do bear in mind that everyone involved in the Gladiators show was a trained professional and you should not try to recreate any of the games played on the show. If you want to impersonate John Fashanu, that's fine but you do run the risk of looking distinctly unsuited to TV work.
