Many of our fans and customers share our love for the Martial Arts, and they have been asking us to produce longer training tools for many years; and now, thanks to recent pioneering innovations in the world of high-strength polymer production we are proud to offer our first synthetic training staff! Our company President Lynn C Thompson has studied and trained with numerous pole arms, spears and staves (most recently training Krabi Krabong Staff with Guro Ron Balicki) and he found that a hard wearing octagonal "Okinawan style" Japanese Staff was an excellent training tool for all of these disciplines and more. Therefore, the first of our long training tools features a traditional octagonal cross section for superior grip and comfort. Perfect for pell work and for conditioning training, this high-impact staff will be the perfect addition to any Martial Artists training regime.
