Escrima schwarz 66 cm

Typical of Filipino weapon combat—Escrima.

The lightweight short stick has always been an important part of Eskrima, the martial art style originating in the Philippines. In weapon combat with the stick, the primary goal is to disarm the opponent. It is not uncommon for an Escrima to mimic another weapon, such as a sword or a machete. Thanks to its ergonomic shape, the 66 cm long Escrima made of hardwood allows you to smoothly transition from defense to offense during partner drills, thereby disarming your opponent with the stick.

Hardwood can withstand high mechanical stresses.

Even though force is carefully controlled during training, strong mechanical forces act on the Escrima, depending on the exercise. The hardwood used in the black Escrima stick is characterized by its structure and density, offering high durability. The black glaze is scratch- and impact-resistant and serves to protect the solid wood beneath.

A Look Back—Interesting Facts from the Past.

In fact, Filipinos share a similar fate with their martial arts history as the Japanese do with karate. During the occupation, they were strictly forbidden from carrying weapons and practicing their martial arts. The people’s hardship made them resourceful, and so they quickly adapted everyday objects—such as sticks—into dangerous makeshift weapons. In addition, Filipinos incorporated their artistic combat movements into folk dances, thereby keeping the legacy of long-standing traditions alive.
