These listing is for 2 100% handmade Hickory Tanbo Sticks. The Ni Tanbo are also known as Kali Sticks, Escrima Sticks or short sticks and are used as a training weapon in the self defense arts. This is an upgrade from common Rattan sticks. The length on these sticks is 24" to 28" Each has a diameter of 1,1/8" inch or 1,1/4"
The materials consist of 100% Hickory which is one of the hardest most durable available North American woods. This wood is cherished for its impact qualities. These sticks are recommended for someone who wants maximum resistance during technique and who wants to build up muscles for weight training using fully functional kali sticks.
These sticks may be solid wood or laminated, depending on wood availability and strength.
Hickory can come in lighter tan sapwood colors, light brown or darker brown heartwood, or sometimes a mixture of both dark and light on the same stick called 'calico hickory'. These variations are aesthetic only and do not affect the integrity of the wood at all.
*I have chosen a variety of pictures showing different color variations in hickory tanbo pairs. The pair you order will be unique to that particular pair. I always match pairs however based on their weight and density*
It is finished with several coats of Linseed and Beeswax oil, which adds beauty protection and allows the users hands to slip effortlessly up and down the stick, which is required for proper technique.
