A simple 'don't use it this way' stops that problem.

Yeah, Cuz that has proven true.
Anyway,
I'm all for fun new stuff. Make them, try different stuff. bring what you think is the best design to game, don't expect it to be allowed in, but if you can make one that people are comfortable with, and that includes the people you are fighting, rock on.
But most of the weapons that are not already allowed in game, are for safe combat reasons. If you trap my weapon I can not let go of it and use an open handed strike instead, or grapple you. Some things are not allowed because the general counter to that causes safety issues.
Turtling is not unsafe, the counter is.
The combat system has to be at least acceptable to people who are generally uncomfortable with combat situations, without being unreasonable in the other direction.
Tonfas would be classified as bludgeoning, so keep in mind that any sort of thrusting would be an illegal blow when figuring out how you would use them in game. Outside if that, if you do come up with something you think is workable, some pics would be neat to see.
Again, just don't
expect to be allowed to use them. Realize that that sort of change would be a long time in the making, if ever.
I don't know where you play usually, but I would have no issue helping you test them out on the experimenting side of things.
