One of the things I've noticed is that short sticks are brutal on my wrists after I've been practicing for a prolonged period, but I don't tend to notice how brutal they have been until the next day (I have very strong wrists already, just not in a way that is conducive to working with short sticks).
I recognize that, on a fundamental level, the easiest and best way to get better at this particular aspect and condition my wrists for short stick is to practice more frequently with sticks. This, however, is not ideal since 1) I can't carry my sticks to work with me 2) I am having trouble recognizing my limits when my blood is hot from the workout.
So the question comes down to: What sorts of exercises can I do, preferably bodyweight or on-the-go, that I can do that will increase my wrist strength in a way that is suitable for short stick work?
