Rattan Eskrima Stick

The Rattan Eskrima Stick (also known as baston or yantok) is the traditional weapon and training tool of Filipino Martial Arts practitioners. Lightweight yet remarkably durable, rattan provides the perfect balance between safety and realism for full-contact stick fighting. Unlike hardwood sticks, which can splinter or shatter under impact, rattan fibers absorb shock and resist breaking — making it the preferred choice for Eskrima, Arnis, and Kali training around the world. Whether you’re practicing flow drills, sparring, or demonstrations, this stick gives you authentic performance and reliability.

A legacy of Filipino martial tradition

Rattan sticks have been used for centuries in the martial cultures of the Philippines, Southeast Asia, and India. In the Filipino warrior arts, the baston represents both a practical weapon and a training instrument that teaches range, timing, and precision. Historically, warriors carried rattan or cane sticks not only as defensive weapons but also as symbols of status and skill. Over generations, Eskrima masters perfected techniques that transitioned seamlessly from stick to blade — preserving an art that remains one of the most efficient weapon systems in the world today.

Durability and performance in every strike

Each Rattan Eskrima Stick is crafted from naturally cured rattan, chosen for its strength, flexibility, and impact resistance. Its lightweight construction allows for rapid combinations and extended training without fatigue, while the smooth surface ensures comfortable handling and control. Unlike hardwood alternatives, rattan will not chip or splinter easily, even under heavy sparring conditions. Perfect for beginners and advanced practitioners alike, it’s ideal for Filipino Martial Arts, Silat, or Indian stick fighting disciplines such as Lathi. This is the time-tested choice for those who want traditional performance with modern reliability.
