I practice Kali/Escrima, and will use these sticks for stick-to-stick contact drills such as sinawali, redonda, and reverse redonda. No rattan stick lasts forever in this usage, but these look and feel like they will do nicely. Good diameter (about 1", and even between the two sticks I got), good weight, good hardness.
Note to martial artists: wrapping these with the black teflon-coated kevlar tape from CS Hyde Co. makes them work better and last 3-4 times longer than just electrical tape. It costs a bit ($35/roll), but it's worth it in the end. Just wrap the contact part that usually splinters (8 inch zone, stopping 2 inches before the distal end of the stick) in a spiral pattern. Their PEEK tape works well too, but not as well as kevlar.  Permalink

I ordered two of these and when I got them they were pretty good the finish is kind of missing in a few places and ones skinnier then the other but these are light and strong.  Permalink

Solid Escrima sticks. Feels right, good balance, looks great and at an affordable price. A no-brainer. Watch out though, make sure you order a pair since the sticks are sold individually.  Permalink

I had to place 2 orders for 2 sets. The first set I got were very different in size, so I ordered another set. Other than that, they are great. Very lightweight-nice design.   Permalink

I use two of these Escrima sticks and let me tell you they are great. They are light, but not to light. They are great for novice and advanced users. Plus they have a great look.  Permalink

I bought two of these Escrima sticks, and I am very pleased with what I got. They're quite light, but at the same time, they're very strong. Good product. Recommended.  Permalink
