Frankly speaking, there is nothing to prepare. But a little bit of research always helps. Also, the best thing to do is to talk to an instructor and they might recommend you what type of training to start with.

The sai is my all time favourite, which is a traditional weapon. These are particularly useful for trapping and blocking enemy attacks and also have several defensive techniques. Tried a couple of these from Martial Arts Mart. You can try it out as well at http://www.martialartsmart.com/weapons-sai-tonfa-kama.html
