Hardwood Escrima Sticks
Escrima sticks come from the Eskrima, Arnis and Kali which refers to a class of Filipino martial arts that emphasize weapon-based fighting with sticks, blades and improvised weapons.
The teaching of the basic skills in Eskrima are traditionally simplified. With limited time to teach intricate moves, only techniques that were proven effective in battle and could easily be taught en masse were used. This allowed villagers, generally not professional soldiers, a measure of protection against other villages, as well as foreign invaders. This philosophy of simplicity is still used today and is the underlying base of escrima. Because of this approach, escrima and the Filipino martial arts in general are often mistakenly considered to be "simple". However, this refers only to its systematization, not effectiveness. To the contrary, beyond the basic skills lies a very complex structure and a refined skillset that takes years to master.
We find that martial arts from all over the world use some sort of fighting sticks in their training, if not just to utilize them as short range weapons, to use them to train students against martial arts weapons attacks.
Our Hardwood escrima sticks are wellmade and durable great for training and fighting. Our hardwoods are well know for their overall strength. If a heavier stick is needed these are the sticks to get. Their toughness speaks for themselves. They are top of the line and made to perform hard. They will take a beating.
These sticks are 26" long and come brown lined, black lined and brown ribbed (ribbed on the top of handle).
Many of our customers are not arnis escrima practitioners at all, but purchase our rattan sticks and hardwood escrima sticks to integrate stick fighting or knife fighting into their own martial arts weapons program.
