Four foot staff, used by Filipino Kun Tao/Kuntao warriors is the shorter staff for defending against other weapons in a jungle environment. Long range to close range practice is often drilled. Clench range with the use of footwork and leverage is used to trap up and  tie up an opponent limbs to a possible take down.  Ballistically and accurately hitting all the vital areas on the body is always the follow up. The training methods are very precise and very athletic. This is one of the main weapons of a rare Filipino martial art called Kun Tao Dumpag used to defend against the bladed weapons that are common in the Philippines.

 The five foot staff is the one used in Kali, Arnis and Eskrima. There are quite a few long range and mid range drills combined to develop the long and mid range fighting skills. In competent hands, this is a great weapon for defending against other weapons, especially bladed weapons. They work especially well in multi-man attack situations. 

Both, the 4 foot and the 5 foot staff are solid rattan and as hard as a rock. Perfect for hard core one for one staff on staff contact drilling.

Please note, these staffs can be used in any style that uses a staff!
