		Compared to traditional rattan sticks, TAK Escrima (Kali) sticks are slightly heavier, however, not as heavy as hardwood sticks.
		TAK Escrima Sticks are available with a short wrist loop to use only during indoor low intensity disarm drills and are available in 5 lengths (26" through 30").

		For Arnis is a gift of the ancient to people who are oppressed, that the forces of aggression would not triumph over those of the peace-loving who hate war for what it brings and love only peace, but who will not hesitate to fight to defend themselves when they find their backs against the wall.
