Guru Ron Balicki has had a long association with Cold Steel, and his contributions to our success have been invaluable. Ron is known world-wide for his vast knowledge of Filipino Martial Arts, Thai Boxing, Boxe Française, Silat, Shootfighting, and Degerberg Mixed Martial Arts, as well as being the founder and chief instructor of MARS (Martial Arts Research Systems), overseeing 2000 MARS instructors and students globally. Our President, Lynn C. Thompson, has been Ron’s private student and training partner for 20 years! Ron has learned a thing or two about fighting sticks and we are proud to introduce his favorite, the Balicki Stick. Slimmer, shorter, and substantially lighter than our standard Escrima Stick, it exhibits Ron’s preference for speed and agility.
Dear Cold Steel: I like the concept and construction of the balicki stick. May I suggest you construct a walking stick from the same materials and thickness dimensions? I know you did the slim city stick at one time, but it appears to have been discontinued, and with all due respect many of your other sticks, while strong, are a bit on the heavy side for quick use. Thank you.
I can't believe you guys passed on the opportunity to call it the "Balicki Sticki"....

What?
This vid just reminded me... gotta pick up some stick fighting skills. If you’re handy with a stick; you’ve got yourself a weapon just about anywhere.
Preach it, bro. Stick translates to other things like hammers, wrenches etc. Basically, ANY Hardware store becomes Candyland 😎
I've had my set for a few years now and love them. I bought some tennis racket grip wrap and made it even better.
I've been using these sticks for years it has saved me a fortune after going through sticks every few months.
They are a bit heavier so that takes a bit. But they are just about indestructible with normal use. I've beat them on trees an all kinds of stuff they still look new.
I was sold when I saw it. My eskrima stick is taking a pounding so I'm game to try it out.
Love my old training sticks but this is a definite purchase.
Mine arrived now: it is a very light, quite sturdy, stick. Perfect for personal defence as well for training :-)
You had every opportunity to call this the “balli-stick” and you didn’t take it
I have had these for over a year. Love love love them. If you practice Kali. Get them.
If you’ve ever trained hard at Kali , you will understand and want one of these. To know is good, but to understand is better.
Got one, haven't used it much yet. I would prefer something a bit larger in diameter.
the other dude looks like he's forcing balicki to say all this
just became available in Australia, ordering myself two today. Respect
most people in my class use these now, I upgraded to these myself and they are great. I still bring rattan sticks along to be courteous to those without Balicki's.
Went to the hardware store and cut some PVC into sticks. Tried two different diameters and they work great. Got eight sticks for about $8.
gosoku2 ..they will break. Careful
@@stonehand49 No they won't. Super hard and durable. I've already trained many hours with them and have broken many ratan sticks with them. Try it yourself and you will know.
@@gosoku2771 I bet they broke.
@@senseiSinclair PVC will definitely NOT hold up. However, you could by some nylon rods and they will do great!
Dark clothing against a dark background trying to show a black stick makes it harder for us rookies to see what's going on.
I'm impress nice job
Balicki Stick looks amazing,
I didn't know Filipino martial arts are so famous in West. Or maybe around the world?
The Bourne Movies might have helped to and the Daniel Craig Bond Films.
@Mog D I love the dumog.when Denzel slammed dudes head in to the bar and broke his neck.i watched that scene over and over and over.the technique is awesome.
The equalizer,Jason Bourne, the hunted,taken all have pretty awesome and my opinion the best and legit fma
@Mog D ☺ I didnt forget jw.i didnt put it because the only fma in there was minimal.it was more judo-jiujitsu based.but yea the fight scene with common on the train and the killing with the pencil(improvised weapon).sp yeah its in there
Sadly, getting to be more common over sea's then in its native country. Because the government doesn't support their art they way they should.
I'm sure these are the sticks that Nightwing uses.
Yeah, i thought the same thing. Looks exactly as the ones Nightwing has.
Those "other sticks" he's dissing are also me by Cold Steel. He does know that, right?
And I like them, for pell work. They're not perfect, but they haven't given me tendonitis either. Not sure if I need a Basticki but need is a strong word.
I watched a as escrima fight in the 80 I've never been the same.....
Advanced level morris dancing
if i passed my 2nd degree black belt in kali i offer me this one :)
Got one ordered, cannot wait to use it.
Used and bring two always because arnis is practise with two sticks so if you want to practuse with a part with one stick judt let them used one of yours
Just got into FMA, I like it! Gonna get the trainer first :)
Very nice upgrade
"A sticki from Balicki is like a Hallmark card."
i'd like to see a torture test video on these
If Ron says its good to go, it is good to go!
Still waiting for a Poly Hanbo! (~90-100cm stick)
i got that balicki on me
When is this coming back? Its out of stock right now. Thanks.
I own the Cold steel sjambok short black one. Two karate mart.com tonfas/night sticks. I used to pracrtice simple escrima movements on boards and trees from sticks I cut from either hard or shock abosrobant wood over 18 to under 24" is where I like them for my usual practice preference. Very interested in this piece.
nice product and video
Tonfa for next product, please.
Sold. I want one. Lynn, should I send my entire income tax check to you? I want one of everything and 2 of half of everything. 😎
Zombie apocalypse is coming it's spreading in deers we gamers will buy everything
Oh my God, I thought I was dreaming when I read the news of Deer Zombie virus but we got COVID lol
the cold steel stick boi
I can't not say Baliki sticki
So uh, whats the point of this and why do I want one so badly 😂
I used escrima srticks when i was in karate and i always felt those were a bit unwieldy (very thick) and clunky, would almost prefer a hexagonal stick as i never felt that bothered my hands using an octagonal bo staff but octagonal kali or escrima sticks would obviously tear other sticks up a lot faster with the corners on it.
Is stick fighting a sport only or can it be used for self defense ?
Well, one moment, in life, almost basically everything could be used for self defense. Those are basically Escrima style batons :-)
Stick fighting, in its various forms, is definitely viable self-defense.
All combat and martial arts "sports" were developed and watered down from real combat arts...not the other way around. Self defense has become such a taboo in many countries that they think like pacafists instead of using common sense.
@@redfaux74 yeah...no joke...
Broke someone's jaw with a Kamagong(Ironwood) kali stick, only took one blow. So yeah, they're pretty fucking good.
I’ll buy it and give it a go and give it a shot
So how did it go?
Ian Sinclair lmao 🤣 I totally forgot about this video. I do a totally different style or escrima now and I use a shorter stick, this stick will not be benefit me. Plus I have a kamagon from the Philippines 🇵🇭 so that’s good enough for protection if I need to defend myself. Sorry I can’t answer your question.
nice stick
how is balicki compare to coldsteel escrima
Good for self defence?
Just buy a gun
@@will-jc5vo You can't get a gun everywhere.
Then i would reccomend the cold steel cheap shot 130 crossbow thats what i have
@@will-jc5vo You can't get crossbows everywhere either. That thing will land you a 10 year sentence where I'm from.
@@MrThistleMilk thats horrible
So its a super stick.
Which is better, these or their escrima sticks?
Don't quote me but from research the only difference is Balicki seems to like a short stick. The escrima stick is just longer.
How much are these
Wow, innovation.... A fiber glass stick. Probs bro
"Probs bro"
You could have called it the Ball Licky Sticky, but you didn't.
Cold steel is like all about carbon and fibres
I still prefer kamagong over the balicki sticks
I used mine for 3 months and it broke. Poor quality.
It needs a guard. An incoming attack can't be blocked without your hand being hurt. But great weapon for *just a stick* .
@tmWasted supposedly the attacker hits your hand.
You'd be in pain and have a disadvantage
Anytime you defend, block or deflect, you likely have a chance to turn that into an attack instead. True martial arts will never seek just to defend but to turn every action into an advantage, a strategy to turn the situation into victory.
@@redfaux74 that's what I'm getting at.
Though, a great defence is a good offence. AND vice versa.
Guards hinder some of the moves you do in Kali.
You dont use guards on sticks, if you train to use them, you wont need one
палка? серьёзно?
I wanna try it before I buy it
