Rattan feels pretty good to me. Kamagong is heavy but strong. It doesn't seem like there's a lot of it, but I have an ironwood Gijo stick and it seems to have the best of both. It's strong, but also light. It's supposedly waterproof as well, because of its natural oils. In fact, there's a YT video of someone breaking a kamagong stick with a gijo stick.
Hi buddy, thanks for the video. Very interesting. I have a question for you; How do you rate weight and durability: 01) Kamagong 02) Labiska 03) Rattan Thanks buddy!
LOUIS EVANGELISTA It's not a problem learning Arnis even if you're an elementary student. There is a group in Luneta Park practicing Arnis. You can register there that cost a thousand pesos.
Hi, all. I';ve been experimenting with sticks made from some wood that several home-improvement chain-stores here (Thailand) sell as pick and hoe and 'digger' handles. It is EXTREMELY dense and strong and correspondingly heavy. But no one in the corporate or local staffs can tell me the name of the actual wood marketed this way. ( Thailand, smh...) Some is light (oak) colored and other is mahogany colored but WAYYYYY: heavier and denser on the cross-grain. If there's anyone in SE Asia that can help, I'd appreciate knowing what these woods are called. Research has not been much help.
Thanks Guro. Very informative and answered several questions I had in just a short video.
Thanks for the feedback, happy training!
That florete was scaringly crisp, Guro Jeff! More power to Flow Martial Arts!
Salamat po. Happy NY!
Thank you for the info! Great work! :D
Good job instructing.

What about bahi and gijo? Both great woods.
Gijo is now on my next stick list! Cheers.
Nice👍
Which wood stick is best not broken or cut even with sword??
I'm from the area where Arnis/Eskrima originated yet I have no clue where to get an authentic Kamagong, Mahogany and Magkono Arnis stick?
verry cool
What about bahi? Also there are shorter sticks like Serrada system
I am in love with your damn smile😍♥️
Make many parts of this video I need it cause from now I like arnis I want to be an arnis black belter but I'm elementary level :-(:-(

Keep training enjoy the process.
Where to buy?
Anyone else's video just straight up break at like 1:30ish? Been trying to watch this video for like 30 minutes lol
Don't you just love getting a new shipment of sticks from the Philippines?
Absolutely except for the cost of airmail ;) Cheers.
@@flowmartialartsacademy6947 the shipping cost does stink but the sticks smells so good.
Why would you recommend a bamboo stick ? i thought rattan is like superior for training .. (?!)
just let me ask more precise : what are the pro´s for bamboo? - thank you
I believe he mentioned them in the video. But not as which one was superior, but what was good about each.
Kamagong is very heavy!
I can't even swing it faster
