ActionFlex Kali sticks

[Daniel L]

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone has used the ActionFlex Kali / Escrima "Pro" sticks?
Really wanted to know how much they "hurt"... I have used the ActionFlex Wakisashi before and they do not hurt at all - just reddening of the skin but no real pain.

The Kali Pro sticks are meant to be stiffer ... the reason I ask is because I want to get some friends into it and while I am quite happy to take some knocks, it would not be too welcome for beginners.

So do they hurt when you get whacked?

I've not worked the sticks you mentioned but have had good luck with training tools from Sof-Stx Concepts.
Stay Safe,

Hello,

I use them regularly in our classes. They can leave nice welts, bruises or scratches but do little real damage. They are a good method to introduce students to sparring in a "safe" manner. They have several drawbacks as they are flexible and tend to give when they are struck as you parry. But all in all a nice product.
