We had a great training this weekend with Johan Skalberg from Kalisikaran. What i found very interresting was the fact that we also used a double short pointed stick with on the palm rounded enlarged parts to aid in gripping. it was the fist time i saw it. It was not a Koppo-stick or a Kubotan. Thicker and a little bit longer. I never got the indigious name of the palm stick. But is was very effective to attack nerve points. I was able to disable the arms of my training partner by giving a good jab into his biceps of his knifearm.

Does anyone more knowledgable know how this stick is named and if you can buy it somewhere?

Thx

You can purchase them online. Google is your friend. :)
 
If the palm stick was the double pointed end version, it is called dulo dulo. Modern arnis and several FMA systems utilize a olisi palad (palm stick) of this type as part of their weapons training..
 
It's called a yawara in japanese, anyway. I would never be able to bring myself to buy something like that. Even if you're totally clueless about carving wood, everybody knows at least one person who could do make one for them in less than an hour.

A little OT but this website is too funny: http://www.just****inggoogleit.com/

Yojimbo Girl,
I too find it interesting that most martial styles have one for or another of pressure point force multiplier devices. It makes sense that phillipine styles use a basic stick and pare it down to the neccessary size adding sharpened tips. kinda cool, do you have any photo links?
As for buying one, try a music store. Drum sticks are made of very good, solid wood and can be cut down to the needed size. Cheap and easy to explain if you keep the buisness end num on it. "Well gee officer, Im a drummer."

EDIT-for some reason BFC doesnt like the F word and replaced it with **** in the website name. Try it manually, its a pretty funny link to sent to people who easy questions. This in no way was ment to disparage the original poster, Ern-dogg's responses just reminded me of it.
 
Thanks KWilliams, now I know what Im going to do with the 2 pieces of broken ironwood stick I have in my closet.
 
A word of warning though......I used to order "Genuine Kamagong" from the guy that makes those things.....I specified DARK kamagong, as i was told these were the "better" wood.

I actually gave them as presents to important clients.......only to be phoned back by them, embarassingly trying to explain why the "Kamagong" was stained with some "boot polish" type substance when they tried to oil it...

So I don't know what the heck the wood was...but is sure as hell wasn't what I thought I orderd
