Superior Quality Appalachian Hickory Bo, Jo Staff's
These extreme, smooth-sanded, hickory staff's are made from very strong and flexible Appalachian hickory. They have a shock resistance far superior to most hard woods; it is also conditionally excellent and collected from well managed domestic forests and not taken from the fragile tropical or rainforest environments. There are other hard wood species that are taken from already depleted environments.
The quality of our Appalachian hickory Staffs is a light to dark colored wood with many color variations. Some are straw colored, some are brownish red, and there are some that have a mixed combination of the two colors. Our Appalachian Hickory Bo staff are strong and very usable and not too heavy. We think that these staff's are a great choice for martial artists who are looking for speed and ease of use in paired practice. The wood grain of these Appalachian Hickory Bo staff's gives them superior external smoothness, which are great for a practitioner or the martial art master needing to yield the best quality.
Appalachian Hickory Staffs and Kali Sticks Strength
The Appalachian Hickory Staff's shock strength far exceeds most all native and exotic hardwood species including the commonly used red or white oak; which becomes brittle as it ages, our hickory staffs has exceptional strength and will maintain its strength and flexibility indefinitely. With normal practice, these staff's get better tougher over time they become tempered. Our staff's even after years of heavy use, will be less likely to snap splinter into dangerous pieces, unlike other harder and more brittle woods.
The Appalachian Hickory Staffs Will Increase its Impact Strength and Flexibility
They have great shock strength; you should not abuse your staff's or kali sticks in a reckless manner, but the hardwood hickory through normal everyday use will allow the surface to run more evenly. Over time, it will increase its impact strength and flexibility.
