SofStx Padded Thick Escrima Sticks with 6" Handle & Hollow or Nylon Core
These 21", 25", and 28" sticks come with hollow polymer or solid nylon cores. They are sold individually. The rigid 6" handle has 1/2" of padding on the punyo (rear) for safer hammer fist strikes. Hollow Polymer or Solid Nylon Core? Hollow is faster since it weighs less than nylon. It is a good choice for general classroom training and can withstand repeated high energy strikes while inflicting minimal shock. Nylon is stronger/ heavier and should be used for all out "Caveman Kali" fighting. Nylon is suited for police/ security training classes where students will be training all day/ every day. These solid core sticks will withstand a level of repeated extreme impact to the stick not normally seen in a martial arts school. As with all vinyl covered sticks, do not use against hard or sharp targets. Only use soft protective gear such as head/ arm guards and a gorge. These are great for minimal protective gear training. Always use eye protection! Length Core ~ Weight {oz) 21" Holl
