Need good name for prestige class

Balsamic Dragon

First Post
Hey guys, what's a good name for this prestige class (that I am writing currently)? It is a monk-based class that uses weapons instead of unarmed attacks. The class expands on the "monk weapon" list with more exotic, asian-style weapons (not katanas, but things like spears and machetes) and is generally based around melee, but with the martial arts, unarmored fighter flair.

Please post ideas! I can't think of any good ones!

Order of the Physical Spirit (weapons are the spirit given physical form)
Steel Spirit
Fang (look at animals for martial style, animals haves fangs and claws, but humanoids need to make theirs)
Big Bad Monk With Big Bad Stick (My personal fav :D )
 

The more generic terms:
Martial Artist
Pugilist
Swordsman

More exotic terms:
Jian Xia (Lit: "sword hero")
Wu Qi Tu (Lit: "weapon disciple")
 





Thrasher Devotee

Blade Flayer

Weapon Prowler

Astute Weaponmaster

Order of the Clever Strike

Order of the Bodily Extention

Order of the Agile Edge

...or some mixture of the above words somehow.
 

Thanks for all the suggestions guys, I really appreciate it!

I don't want to go too close to real world (using real Chinese words, for example). I like Kensai, but because that used to be a kit, people think of it as being solely a sword specialist.

Out of all of them, the one I think I like the most right now is Astute Weaponsmaster... I don't know, it just sounds cool and mysterious to me.

I now have lots of good options. Thanks again!
