Set includes the Silat Fighting Soempat Stick plus Raymond Crow's Art of Indonesian Soempat instructional DVD!

This stick is constructed of select Rattan with stylized burn-patterns and Retina-Retention tape ends. It is hand-formed to the correct angle and was a favorite training weapon of Maha Guru Pak Victor deThouars as it gave added advantages over a straight stick. Silat Soempat was founded by Pak Tisari Mardjoeki, a Serak Guru from West Java (1902-1976). The unique curvature of this fighting stick allows for high torque strikes, and hook and drag techniques. Also popular with advanced Escrima, Kali, Arnis practitioners. The Soempat Stick measures 28in long with the bend occurring at the last 8 inch. 1 inch diameter.
