The Burned Rattan Eskrima Stick brings centuries of Filipino martial heritage to your training with a visually distinctive, hand-burned finish. Lightweight, flexible, and remarkably tough, rattan has long been the preferred material for baston or yantok sticks used in Filipino Martial Arts. This version retains the same trusted performance while adding a traditional scorched pattern that enhances grip and aesthetic appeal. Ideal for sparring, flow drills, or demonstrations, it combines beauty, balance, and battle-proven practicality in one essential training weapon.
A tradition rooted in Filipino martial culture
For centuries, rattan fighting sticks have been the foundation of Filipino, Southeast Asian, and Indian martial arts. In Eskrima, Arnis, and Kali, the baston teaches rhythm, timing, and weapon control that translate seamlessly to swords, knives, and empty-hand defense. Historically, the stick was both a weapon and a symbol of martial skill, carried by warriors, protectors, and masters alike. The burned finish seen on many traditional sticks is not just decorative — it also reflects time-honored methods of curing and preserving rattan, ensuring longevity through intense use.
Durable, lightweight, and crafted for performance
The Burned Rattan Eskrima Stick is made from naturally seasoned rattan, offering a superb combination of lightness and impact resistance. Unlike hardwood bastons that can splinter or transmit heavy vibration, rattan absorbs shock efficiently, reducing strain on the hands and forearms during extended training. The burned surface pattern adds subtle texture for improved grip while maintaining a smooth feel. Perfect for daily drills, demonstrations, and contact sparring, this stick is a durable, traditional, and eye-catching addition to any Eskrima, Arnis, or Kali practitioner’s gear.
