Hickory Escrima Sticks
Hickory arnis sticks are the
best kept secret in martial arts! Right now you can literally go to
another "Super Mart" web site and purchase hickory sticks for $50 per
pair and they will still not be better than Virginia's old hickory.
You see, hickory makes a great
everyday arnis stick because it has the best of both worlds; it is a dense
hardwood AND it is just elastic enough to absorb hard blows. It is because
of these properties that ax and sledgehammer handles are made this incredible
wood.
Today in the Philippines,
TaeKwonDo, a Korean martial art, is gaining in popularity much faster than Filipino
Martial Arts such as Arnis or Escrima.
Some people say this is because it is easier to appreciate martial arts from a far away land
than it is to appreciate what we have here at home. Don't underestimate
domestic hickory just because it is not from the Philippines. It may not be "Asian enough" for some
arnis practitioners, but hickory makes an awesome escrima stick.
Although the picture below
shows many sticks, the prices below represent
