We now have 32" natural rattan sticks and palasan sticks in stock which can be found on the 'Rattan Sticks' page and to carry them we are now supplying 32" small stick carry cases, so you may wish to check out our Stick Bags page which also has our unique 6 Foot bags to carry your long sticks with special added features designed by Eskrimador Supplies.

New Small Aluminium Kerambit Daggers

We will soon be discontinuing the current Kerambit dagger with Kamagong handle and replacing with our own new unique designed small aluminium kerambit dagger which is more compact and easier to handle to get the most from your training.

Discounted Seconds

Gradually we will be adding great deals on equipment for graded items, so keep an eye on the 'Clearance Sale' page. A clear description will be provided on each item explaining the reason they are considered graded.

Stick Select Options

We have been conducting an experiment since January this year to see if we can provide a better service by giving our customers the option to give a brief description of their ideal stick.

For many years customers have been phoning up with their requirements and we do our best to meet the description they provide. Unfortunately it will never be the same as picking your own stick out by hand yourself, but we would like to try and do the next best thing by picking the right stick for you if we can via the website too.

This is an experiment and we cannot promise you will get the perfect stick and cannot accept returns on this basis, we just want to get as near to your requirements as we can. So rather than you placing an order and getting a lucky dip, we hope to be nearer to your expectations rather than you getting a really thin stick when you want a thicker stick.

Stick options will be categorised into: Medium/Thin/Thick & Average/Light/Heavy.

Please bear in mind that for instance the Basiko sticks are not generally heavy sticks as a rule, so although you may state heavy it may just be the heaviest from that batch and not necessarily heavy, heavy in actual weight if that makes sense, but rather the heaviest available for that style stick. We will however do our best to meet the criteria provided. If you are after sparring sticks or sticks for children then we suggest you ask for light and if you are after average weight training sticks select average. I would call medium thickness approximately 3/4 of an inch.

By all means email with further requests and/or make a suggestion to enhance this system further and once you have received your order we also welcome feedback to see if we have met your requirements satisfactorily.

'Stickfighter' The International Kali Eskrima Arnis Magazine has been relaunched.
