SofStx Padded Thick Escrima Sticks with Hickory or Nylon Core

These 28" sticks come with hickory or nylon cores for extra strength. Select between a rigid 6" handle or padded double end design. Both handles have 1/2" of padding on the punyo for safer butt strikes. Moderate degree of flex on nylon core and minimal flex on hickory core. Thick foam covered vinyl used since these sticks deliver more energy than the hollow core version. 

Hickory or Nylon? Hickory is faster since it weighs less than nylon. Hickory is also stiffer than nylon so it performs better for blocks and disarms. Nylon is stronger but has more flex than hickory and should be used for all out "Caveman Kali" fighting.

As with all vinyl covered sticks, do not use against hard or sharp targets. Only use soft protective gear such as arm guards and a gorge. These are great for minimal protective gear training. Always use eye protection!
