I love them the ergonomics are great.
Mark D.
Love the product and company. BB redefine what customer service is about. I have the Kali Sticks and Hanbo. They certainly start conversations when I'm at seminars.
Willard O.
These sticks are incredible, durable. Great for training. I would ask for a rougher grip for greater retension.
Christian O.
Very well made.feel great in the hands.
Leandrei M.
Looks great, and feels great. Thank you for an amazing product.

Not as sturdy as I thought it would be…. Would not recommend
André-Simon D.
Wow.
The carrying bag with the black belt strap is just awesome and what to say about the Kalis. Perfect
Kade B.
Budo brothers responded immediately when I sent a photo of my Phenolic Kali sticks, there was a slight misalignment on one of the sticks and they shipped me a second pair case and all for no charge! I am so pleased with both the quality of the products and the customer service.
bill s.
Excellent feel and weight highly recommend
Jason
They’re solid, nice quality. The grip that’s designed to help lessen the impact is a bit slippery - could have done a better job in design there, possibly if rigid or coarse. But overall solid sticks
Gabriel
Awesome product!!
Michael D.
Very. Very well balanced. Have to get used to even balance of the sticks as opposed to the traditional Kali sticks I have used. Surprised at the strength to weight ratio. They’re really light to deliver the impact power. Well done.
Greg R.
I gave 4 stars as the Phenolic Sticks have both good and not so good qualities. The good: like all Budo Brothers products the Phenolic Sticks are high quality and after using them for 2 weeks I believe they will hold up to heavy sinawali training for a long time. The not so good: they are a little heavier than I expected. I do like heavy sticks, but these are just a little to heavy. They drilled out part of the sticks center to help with the weight issue, but for me it was not enough. Please know this is just my opinion. I have been doing FMA for almost 30 years. I have developed a bit of escrimador shoulder; the extra weight is a bit of a problem.
Abel
Very impressive work. Very pleased with my new sticks!
David D.
Feel great light but sturdy. Feel long lasting. Maybe my lack of experience with the sticks but I think the handle could use more gripper material.
David
Love them. Solid but light. Feel good in my hands. I don't know if it's my experience or not but I feel he grip could be grippier.
Pete S.
EXCELLENT experience!! I love all the products the I've bought so far:
*Serrada phenolics
*Kali Rattan 28"
*Kali phenolics
I will be definitely be purchasing more items in the very near future!!
Allen W.
When I first saw the add and what they cost , I was a bit apprehensive. I convinced myself to buy them. All I can say is if you are a FMA stylist, make the investment! You will not be disappointed. I really love them!
Claire E.
First day in use, felt comfortable in hands. Definitely a different sound than hickory or rattan. You can tell these will last a long time. Progressive Arnis!
Michael B.
Having basically the toughest Kali sticks you can
Purchase on this planet... Outstanding!
Wayne
These feel amazing, should last many years of training
Andro P.
Got these for my father as a Christmas present. Before wrapping them up I took one out of the sleeve to see it up close. These are really nice, the weights just right. Very smooth feel to them. The grips feel great. An amazing pair overall. My pops seemed to like them alot too when he opened the gift and took them out of the sleeve. My father being filipino was impressed by the build. He seemed genuinely happy when he held the kali sticks in his hand. Thanks!
Tony G.
As advertised.
Shipping was quick to the front door.
The sticks got some heft to them, but light enough to play around with. I enjoy them, and would recommend.
Alvin C.
Items arrived as described and very accurate to the advertised pictures. It will be a great Christmas gift for a loved one that loves escrima. The gift recipient will definitely will loved it.
Robin M.
The weight of the sticks make them outstanding for training. Plus they look like they go fast sitting still. Would recommend for any Arnis practitioners.
David P.
Impressed! They really feel solid. I wasn’t expecting them to be as well built as they are. They look great as well, sleek!
Excited to really start training with them!
Chris D.
Beautiful set of kali sticks! Slimmer than I thought and feels very sturdy! Came in a nice “GI” type of bag. Love it!
Richard
Perfect for my needs - martial artist for 36 years in different arts, and these are great for training, lightweight, strong and long; however, I really got them to deal with some dangerous dogs around the corner who keep threatening to attack me on my own front lawn, and to protect my wife and daughter from these dogs - I am confident they can do the trick, but I hope to never have to use them. I’m a dog lover!
Tom R.
These are, by far, are the best defensive weapons I have ever had. Great workmanship, I haven't been able to destroy them, and great service. Love these, and I am glad I added them to my collection. Oh! Do not train with partners, with these. You will cause a world of hurt for them. Have a great life.
Marc R.
Great quality and weight on both the Kali sticks and bag! I’ve ordered the hooded GI and plan on doing more shopping with them in the future.
Marc R.
Quality material used for the sticks and bag! Definitely worth the price! I will be ordering the hooded GI soon knowing this now. Also I had to change my order. Good communication and problem solved. Thanks Budo Bros.
Marc R.
Marc
I needed to change my order and they were not only quick to respond they were quick to take care of it. When I received the merchandise it was fantastic quality. I’m planning on doing further purchases soon.
Alfredo
Sticks are phenomenal. Was really excited to get them. Quality is super nice. I’m wrapping some grip tape on mine just cause I think with sweaty hands it could get too slippery. That’s with just about any handheld weapon though. All around really like the sticks and recommend them.
Antonino
These are awesome!
Robert P.
Great QUALITY product. Delivered on point! Awesome feel and execution with this product.
Bert
Excellent Quality and Stong!
Raymond C.
Perfect sticks for training especially if you like a little more weight than your standard rattan. Looks & feels amazing
Andy M.
These feel absolutely amazing. I didn't know how I felt about the grips until I started using them and man are the grips a game changer. The carrying case is awesome as well as the bandana that comes with it. The phenolic eschrema sticks are incredible and definitely my favorite by far. Worth their weight in gold. Thank you so much budo brothers. God bless you guys.
Andy
The sticks are incredible. They feel amazing, and the grip is awesome. I received them in less than a week (domestic), and I'm so excited to begin training with these. Budo brothers are awesome company, they feel like family when you engage with them via email. Absolutely the best. Thank you so much budo brothers. Love yall and wish to get the gi hoodie from you guys in the near future.
lowel
Excellent product. Very good material!!!
brandon n.
Impeccable balance, durability and speed. My grand master loved them so much I ordered a set for him as well. He told me they’ll be his main sticks from now on. I Coming from him, as a life-long martial artist and combat Green Beret veteran, that says a lot.
Bryan A.
I love the Kali sticks! It adds a whole new level to my Kali training (Lucaylucay Kali). The added weight challenges the endurance in my arms with each swing, as well as force me to be more efficient with my swings, i.e., economy of movement.
Wai Kong C.
The sticks are of exceptionally high quality and are quite hard.
And they look really good.
Michael Y.
These sticks are incredible both in performance and presentation. My injured left elbow is all that prevented me from filming a video. Thank you guys.
James B.
Very nice hight quality sticks, the case is made really well,
Much nicer than the price would suggest
Jules D.
Sticks have a nice feel and flow easily through patterns. Strike well too. Very pleased. Live up to the advertisement.
Peter A.
Work great!
Used them for a week and have tremendous durability!
Aderinto O.
I love my phenolic sticks. Great stick for condition wrist and arms; and they are extremely durable!!
Phillip C.
Great product. Light enough to train with all the time. Thanx alot guys
Aaron G.
First appearance is awesome. Feels amazing and looks and feels good.
David P.
At first I was wondering about the price. But after getting these beautiful sticks and case I am a firm believer. Budo Brothers makes and sells what can only be described as the highest quality items. The shipping and communication was above top knotch. My highest recommendation. Don’t hesitate to get these. I have already ordered the Serrada sticks!!
Brett
Nicely designed, solid construction. A good balance and weight, the moulding at the base is a welcome design choice.
Joseph M.
Bought these sticks to have a nice pair, for "showing off". DID NOT DISAPOINT!! not as heavy as they might seem, easily maneuverable, STURDY! These are well presented in a very nice case. (And I got a nice bandanna too). These are more for moderate to advanced trained, in my opinion.
So if you're looking for a good pair of sticks, stop here!
Also, I gotta say, the operations are tight here. I ordered a little after 3:30, around 4:15, (same day,) I get the email saying, "sticks have been shipped" delivery was close in time. I have only praise for this company.
Clarence H.
Excellent products and services.
Jordan G.
I have many many more Budo Brothers gear to purchase. Yes it’s that good!
Alexander H.
The stix feel like satin. I wish there were diameter size options. I like them. The length is perfect. The carry bag is elegant and sophisticated. Overall quality would be “S” tier, as in this product exudes a Royal feel. The swing is light and solid. The impact is comfortable, might be more comfortable than a rattan stick. The “Lambo” of escrima. A nice addition to my synthetic collection.
Forgotten
Very Tough!!
Scott B.
Awesome, awesome weapons!!
Anthony M.
This sticks are something else! Very solid with low vibration when doing heavy stroking. They are also quite a bit heavier than my traditional sticks. If I had any complaint, they are a bit thin which wouldn’t be an issue if they weren’t as slick in my hands. Having said that, I’m using them for conditioning not direct sparing so I’m enjoying them a lot
Wayne L.
Amazing weight. Great for hand and wrist strengthening. Extremely durable and well balanced. Looking forward to working my strikes and blocks with these sticks.
Shane J.
These look good and feel great in my hands. Really good for training. I love them.
Timothy D.
Love these Kali sticks. Had an old pair of rattan sticks and these obliterated them. Have a cold steel Kali stick, these feel more comfortable in the hand (not quite as thick in diameter) but definitely as durable. New favorites. The gi material carry bag is awesome. Loved these so much bought a pair as a retirement present for a training partner.
gregory w.
They are great sticks no vibrations and solid without being heavy
John V.
Excellent workmanship. Has the look of display only, but totally functional at every aspect. I'm buying the 1/4 staff next. Love your Kali sticks and professional looking case.
Aaron J.
Honestly, I didn’t expect them to be cooler in person. The kali sticks are a bit of a challenge with the weight, but it feels great nonetheless holding them. Thinking about picking up the foam sticks to better protect my hands though lol!
Zachary M.
The kali sticks are a great addition to my growing collection of phenolic weapons from Budo Bros! While I prefer the serrada sticks for increased speed the kali sticks give you increased range even though the weight difference is noticeable. I can't wait to see what additional phenolic products Budo Bros. come up with--as I have their hando and kubaton as well!
Franklin M.
Good weight and feel. Love these.
Koi H.
Packaged was delivered with a lot of communication and statuses. The actual product is well-made and very beautiful. It feels very sturdy and great in my hands.
Jacob N.
First time using the sticks and they felt amazing! Took them to sparring at my local HEMA club to see how they faired against lighter wood sticks. The difference in weight was not an issue at all and I was very pleased with how they performed. The material is extremely durable and the grips helped a ton to lessen the shock of impacts. Overall, a fantastic product.
William D.
Nice pair of Escrima sticks, very durable and strong
James B.
This is a great product, not only for kali fans but also for those who (like me) train with a tombo for karate. While they are a bit thinner and longer, they work great and feel really good in the hand. The included carry bag is also high quality and a perfect fit for both sticks. A couple of points to note - first these are definitely heavier than standard rattan sticks. So care should be taken when using them in the air and not striking as they may cause some wrist strain. The second note that that the inlay is awesome at absorbing shock, however it is also very smooth and may slip a bit when wet (i.e. sweaty ;) ). As I say though - this is a great product and I have no hesitation recommending them.
Jared M.
Exquisite set. Shock absorbent, lightweight, and indestructible are the first words that come to mind. If your looking to level up your training, look no further, and pick up your set of phenolic Kali Sticks from my friends at BudoBrothers. Make sure to sign up as a VIP on the website for exclusive news!
Douglas A.
My only regret is not picking up more. These sticks are definitely quality, and they're a joy to use. The material definitely chews through others, so you'll need to make sure your training partner is wielding a pair as well.
Jose S.
Love this company!!! The staff are amazing and the products are excellent. Thank you so much, I will continue to do business with this company. Budo brothers rocks the house!
David M.
I love these sticks! More dopeness for the collection!
Robert S. B.
Excellent training and protective sticks. Way overpriced but glad I have them.
Daniel S.
BOOM BOOM BANG
If you banging with these bad boys through the air or against an object you feel their power and the passion they are built from. Even if they are thin their weight and stability crashes everything standing in your way. The special grip allows you to throw them in your aim without fearing to loose them. A very nice training tool to increase your hitting power, to adapt your biomechanics to such powerful hits and to create authentic proprioceptive musculoskeletal reactions of stick movements. Enjoy them because they are really worth it.
BADA BOOM BOOM BANG
Troy J.
Great Quality product
Kyle G.
The item is better then I expected. I trained in the past with second hand rattan escrima sticks. These are a big step up. Solid feel and good weight. No issues with shipping.
Robert G.
just as advertised. Durable, shock resistant, look and feel awesome. I recommend purchasing these whenever available.
John L.
These sticks are amazing. The look and feel is beyond description. They hit like a truck and I dont have to worry about what I am hitting. Great job Budo Brothers
Kwazi H.
Really enjoying these sticks, so much so I did a video on my Youtube page if you guys wanna see them in action. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3AmPWGQYZc Thx Budo Brothers.
Dave M.
Love the feel and balance of these sticks I can’t put them down. The swing is amazing I’m kind of afraid they have ruined me for my other sticks
David C H.
These are everything that I would want in a pair of kali sticks. They're constructed well with very durable material, the grips are comfortable, and they look great! The custom bag to carry them is sharp looking and the textured material combined with that sweet Budo Brothers patter is put together with the same care and thought as the sticks. I've already recommended them to several friends. I'd say these will probably be the last pair I'd buy... but...the likelihood of me buy another pair of these ones either for myself or as a gift, is pretty high and worth every penny.
Jayson S.
Quick shipment. Arrived here in Europe in days with Zero!!! Hassle or customs issues. Kali Sticks are simply perfect
Richard P.
Great sticks.
Ross A.
Ordering and tracking product and delivery was fast and expedient. Communication was thorough and I was informed on the process in every step of the way.
I will again order from Budo Bros.
Brittany B.
Love them
Mike E Z.
Love these had to support you guys man.
Blake M.
I really like it! Very well made!
Wes F.
Love these! Great weight to build wrist strength and they look amazing!
Jeremy W.
I love the quality and attention to detail of Budo Brothers' martial arts equipment, their seminars are phenomenal, with absolute experts who really make a difference to one's practice. And last of all, but perhaps most importantly, these guys are good human beings. I like their ethos and what they are doing in the community. Best to you!
Michael A.
Definitely high quality and very well made.
John W.
Absolutely love these! I’ve started watching a few of the training videos offered. It’s an interesting transition from sword fighting or sparing that I’m more accustomed to, but I’m really enjoying it. On a side note, they sent me a balaclava for free with the purchase as well. I’m glad I stumbled across the Budo Brothers
Snake B.
Great quality. Great product line. I have purchased several items from the site and love them all. Glad to see companies putting quality first and representing FMA tools well. - Guru Snake Blocker
Eddie C.
These Phenolic Kali sticks are awesome! When I train, we bang hard and so far these ticks not only flow smoothly, but I splintered my friends rattan stick. The grip is good, they feel good while striking and free-styling sinawali and practice on my Bob dummy. Deceptively light and sturdy.
Daniel A.
Alright, Folks! I'm going to tell you, these Phenolic Fabric Resin Kali Sticks Truly are Bad@§§!! No Exaggeration! The weight, the balance, the durability are all top shelf! They're not too light, nor too heavy! I love the silicone handle sleeves! They give you a great grip! The case they come in is specially made for the Phenolic sticks as well. It's made of the same canvas and fabrics that the HoodGi is constructed of! I'm going to tell you right now, however. If you're going to drill and train with them, make sure your partner has some as well, or at least has something also as strong, otherwise you're just going to break his traditional rattan sticks!! ~Haha!! I now have both these Kali Phenolic Resin Sticks and the Serrada Phenolic Resin Sticks! And I intend to get multiple sets of these Kali Sticks as time goes by!
Corey J.
Stick are awesome - light and feel great in the hands.
