    CHAPTER 2: FACILITIES AND

    EQUIPMENT OF THE SPORT

    Impact Weapon

    The  BASTON  (Spanish and eskrima stick. Traditional common


    Filipino for "cane") is one of Arnis's materials for wooden bastons are
    primary weapons and Filipino usually rattan, kamagong, and
    martial arts. It is also known as bahi wood.

    olisi, palo, pamalo,

    Rattan
    Rattan is the most commonly used material for bastons in
    Arnis training. They are light, flexible, and suitable for
    training in speed. They are made from dried and cut
    reeds and are typically cut 26”-30” in length, 3/4 “-1” in
    diameter, and rounded at both ends. Prolonged impact
    training with rattan sticks will tend to splinter their
    backs, so some practitioners use electrical or duct tape to

    protect their bastons, as they are more expensive outside
    of the Philippines.

    Kamagong
    Kamagong (also known as Mabolo) is a dark, dense,
    expensive type of wood known for its weight and
    hardness. It is said that bone will break before a good
    kamagong baston will, but those of low quality can
    splinter or shatter on impact due to their hardness and
    lack of flexibility. Kamagong is also an endangered species

    of ebony wood, and its export outside the Philippines is

    illegal without a permit.

    Bahi
    Bahi is a type of wood made from the heart of a palm
    tree. It is similar to kamagong but is made of a porous
    material in weight and density, which tends to slightly
    dent on impact, making it less prone to shattering than
    kamagong. Kamagong is a critically endangered lumber

    species, so it is recommended that practitioners purchase

    bahi instead.
    Modern materials
    More modern materials are also used, such as Fiberglass
    and plastics, and metals like aluminum.
