It's a metal staff, aluminum from the look and sound of it, but I'm not certain. It may be hollow, in which case the difference between that and a pipe is closed off ends. More likely has a wooden or light material core. Definitely not solid metal, that would be too heavy to move like that, much less to use as an actual weapon. You don't really need a metal staff though, it's rare to have it chopped through as long as you're deflecting instead of using a hard block, and when it gets too rough you just get a new wooden staff. Extremely heavy staves do have their uses in conditioning, but typically you accomplish the same conditioning with repetitive movements holding ordinary staves at one end, such as Wing Chun uses the dragon pole (long, tapered staff) to strengthen the forearm and elbow.
