I'm looking for a new pair of rattan sticks. I can't remember where I bought my last ones, and I've seen wildly different levels of quality with them. Do any of you have a site you use to buy them, that you'd recommend? Thanks to anyone who replies!

For average quality rattan at a very good price, I go to Frank's Cane and Rush Supply
They market them as "rattan poles" and sell them in 24" and 28" lengths. I prefer the 1-1/8" diameter ...be sure to get them "with skin" -- much tougher.

Been dealing with Frank's Cane and Rush since the 90's.

Nice. I never thought to ask where to get good ones cheap. I bought my first pairs from Bloodsport, and just don’t do enough shock-on-stick that I ever looked for something cheaper. I was thinking of adding some basic stick work to my curriculum to extend the “club” training the NGAA included, and was trying to decide if I wanted all students to buy sticks. At Frank’s prices, I’ll just stock them.

Used to deal with a guy directly in the PI who had the best sticks around. He has since moved, and cannot get access to the same quality anymore, so I have had to move to another vendor. This guy's sticks are top notch:

Sounds like Simon? He had a little mail order business from the PI called EskrimaKaliArnis, or AnisKaliEskrima, or something and he had absolutely the best quality rattan available. Too bad he's not in the business anymore!

That was him. I still have several pairs of his sticks. Unfortunately for me, in PTK we use different length sticks, not to mention thickness, so they really won't work for me and I have had to seek out other sources.
You might reach out to our own Brian Vancise as well... Instinctive Response Training LLC Store - Michigan LLC
I get my sticks from either Leslie Buck on his website Kali Gear - Making you Battle Ready - Equipment for Kali and Pencak Silat or from Nick Papadakis on his website at Kombat Instruments Limited - Full contact martial arts gear . Both are great guys who get your products to you quickly and respond to emails.

Kevin Seaman...didn't realize he was still doing sticks.
I got my last set of sticks from Brian and was very satisfied.

How does that help someone looking for sticks?

I suppose I could have traveled to his dojo and asked for a pair? Luckily, this post was from a year ago and I've already bought them.
