This set of staves was developed as a Ninjutsu set with the help of Kusa Dojo .It includes one 6', 4', 3', and 10" stave.The staves are made with 2 layers of impact grade hickory laminated together to form a strong, straight and defect free staff. This is the best wood possible for martial arts use. The hickory is strong, yet it is flexible to not be brittle when struck against other equipment. We hand oil at least 2 coat of a boiled linseed/mineral spirits mixture.

A 6 ft (1.8 m) bō is sometimes called a rokushakubō (六尺棒: ろくしゃくぼう). This name derives from the Japanese words roku (六: ろく), meaning "six"; shaku (尺: しゃく); and bō. Shaku is a Japanese measurement equivalent to 30.3 centimeters (0.994 ft). Thus, rokushakubō refers to a staff about 6-shaku (1.82 m; 5.96 feet) long. This thickness allows the user to make a tight fist around it in order to block and counter an attack. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/ Hanbōjutsu, the art of wielding the hanbō, is a focus in several martial arts including the Kukishin-ryū koryū classical school of martial arts, and Kukishinden-ryū, one of the nine schools of Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu. Part of the importance in using this length is that it is approximately that of a walking cane. Although techniques with a cane in this ryū-ha utilize pulling or hooking and possess one rounded end, that they invariably function the same as a hanbō in all other respects.The hanbō can be used as a means of striking, restraining or even throwing someone. It is useful to know because sticks are abundant and can be picked up if attacked. Masaaki Hatsumi says that one who wishes to be a swordsman should first master hanbō techniques, since it can be held and utilized in a similar fashion to a Japanese sword (but without the cutting edge). When utilized properly (parrying by deflecting the sword by striking the flat parts of the blade), it was more than capable of defeating a katana. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanbo

Great quality
This is my second purchase; and I am very happy with it. The quality is exceptional. I like that it's left raw so that I can stain and seal it myself. If I could make one improvement, I would suggest a final sanding with a finer grit sandpaper. Everything felt a little rougher than I'd prefer. Still, that's minor and something that I can take care of myself.

An Excellent Bunch of Sticks
Each staff is perfectly straight with crisp lines and beautiful grain. The heft of these staves gives an immediate impression of durability and taxes the muscles as an effective training tool should. If you're looking for a comprehensive set for a variety of uses that will encourage increasing strength, dexterity, and form then look no further.

As it stands I am very impressed with the workmanship of this hickory set of staves. The representatives are very accommodating when asked questions regarding maintenance and additional furniture for these staves as well as questions regarding other hickory projects. Again I am very impressed for with the quality of workmanship.
