How to Make a Metal Escrima Stick

[@AP-ei3ol]

Might be one of my favorite weapon Wednesday videos! Appreciate the thought and consideration in making this one Kyle! Not sure if anyone mentioned this, but I think it’s awesome that you’d be willing to take the time in showing us how to create our own escrima sticks (on a budget) opposed to just highlighting some of the ones you guys carry. Very cool!

[@Karatemart]

I really appreciate that Andrew! Yeah, I enjoyed making this video. I actually really like creating videos where I make things, but they don’t seem to be as popular. Thanks so much again for watching and for your continued support. I really appreciate that!

I’m loving the Weapons Wednesday series, especially the “homemade” ones. I believe that stick would hold up pretty good under some strikes due to it being shortened. Great idea for scoring the handle area also. Most impressive! I’m thinking of making a throwing board out of pallets in the future. Got any suggestions?

[@Karatemart]

Thank you so much! Pallets are great for throwing boards. In the past, I’ve added layers of cardboard to the front of pallets which allows you to draw a nice target on it.

[@k4x4map46]

Had to take a second look! I'm ready for this project!

[@Karatemart]

Nice man! This escrima stick turned out really awesome!

[@richodegard3918]

cool idea! off to the hardware store! thanks!

[@Karatemart]

Awesome Rich! I hope you make some really awesome ones! If you do, send me a picture…I’d love to see what you come up with. Have a great weekend!

[@TheHeal3152]

My friend you put on a good show. I always take note of the weapons that are on the street. Some of them I want

[@Karatemart]

Thank you so much, Ronald! I really appreciate that! I hope you are having an excellent weekend!

[@uncleben9911]

I just bought 2 black metal ones and they came today!

[@Karatemart]

Awesome! Thank you so much for your support! I really appreciate that!

[@uchiha8029]

YAY!

[@alfonsoafricano8415]

Great job!

[@Karatemart]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!

[@davidmullins1763]

Exceptional video instruction for making a homemade escrima. Beautiful job!

[@Karatemart]

Thank you so much David! I had fun making that video. Thank you so much for your support!

[@nikolaiestrella6785]

Think I might have to try this

[@Karatemart]

You definitely should! It was fun to do. If you do make one, send me a picture!

[@handyharvey]

Looks like a cool project. Thanks for the video.

[@Karatemart]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!

[@GOxHAM]

That was a fun haha! 🍉🍉🍉 Part vlog part DIY weapon, I like it! Hope to see more of these types of videos. Gotta find the spear video next

[@Karatemart]

I did have fun making this one! I like to switch it up sometimes. Thanks so much for your support, my friend!

[@ae0954]

Great job, Thanks.

[@Karatemart]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!!

[@Anita_Unecessarymiddlename]

Ok I have trouble concentrating on the tutorial. SIR! You have no job to be that extraordinary, AND look like you do! You give out Nightwing and Superman and Deathstroke vibes, all in one.

[@Anita_Unecessarymiddlename]

AND YOUR NAME IS KYLE????? Ok ladies and gentemen, I've found Superman

[@Karatemart]

That’s so kind of you to say! Thank you! You just made my day! I hope you are having an excellent weekend!

[@Anita_Unecessarymiddlename]

@@Karatemart Oh no dear Sir, I have not. I can not live in some stranger place where I know I can't run on you! (I hope it's the right expression, and I didn't just tell you I'd run you over or something.. Haha, English is not my first language.) Many kisses from Athens, Greece

[@EVENINGWOLF666]

I used to use plumbing pipes or steel rebar as makeshift escrima sticks, or for bo, or jo or even shorter segments as a yawara stick.

[@Karatemart]

That’s awesome Alex! I’ve done the same thing. Thank you so much for watching!

[@dragan3290]

I made a pair out of shopfront style stainlesss steel door handles. Same length but thicker and the perfect weight for me. Roughed up the stainless and wrapped in a grippy adhesive tape. Looks like electrical tape but nice for practice, love this channel. Subbed and liked 👍 cheers from Australia

[@Karatemart]

That is so awesome! I love that you made those! Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!

[@dragan3290]

@@Karatemart I had to strip them down , countersink the holes. I rescued a 900 mm snap on breaker bar and welded the head so I can use it as a breaker bar but also wheel nuts. Your channel is an inspiration and motivation for me! Highly appreciated! I would love to see a video on how to disable a psycho dog? The neighbours 14 year old was screaming on Saturday: can you please help me? I went over and what a mess of the female dog being mauled by the male. I got bitten on the thumb. But I managed to land a nice front kick that he ended up in the bathtub. Unbelievable!!! Some parents shouldn't be parents! Thanks heaps for the quick reply ❤ 👍

[@uchiha8029]

I like METAL STUFFF!!!! AND STEAL!!!! PERFET!!!

[@luismperez6286]

Now I know what I'm going to be carrying on my car truck..🤣😜🤣😜👍👏

[@Karatemart]

Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!

[@wolfster421]

Thx a lot. I can‘t buy them USA cause of delivery issues. No dealers in Europe. But now I can diy.

[@Karatemart]

Awesome! Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!

[@karmaisclean]

Love it, I feel a missed opportunity you didn't put some sand in it, since you had to glue the end caps. Weighted handle keniticlly charged strike end.

[@Karatemart]

Thank you! Great idea! The added weight would help to increase your strength and speed!

[@BayaningMandirigma]

Good

[@Karatemart]

Thank you so much for watching, Mark! I really appreciate it!

[@NeaHaunts]

Yessss now I can create weapons cheaper thanks!

[@Karatemart]

That’s awesome! If you make anything cool, send me a picture.

[@DavidWoods-rk8st]

Ay Kyle show us how to make extending nunchucks

[@Karatemart]

Maybe one day David! Thanks so much for watching!

[@masteryoda1118]

Will you guys ever make or carry 28in - 30in aluminum escrima sticks?

[@Karatemart]

We generally manufacture the most popular sizes that sell the most, but because we manufacture them ourselves within the United States, we can modify a pair for you if you call our customer service team. Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!

[@MIFWIC666]

Could you put a metal weight in it so it adds to the force of a blow?

[@Karatemart]

Absolutely Ben! By having the furniture caps as end pieces, you could load any weights you wanted into it.

[@Sithikus]

Great video though

[@Karatemart]

Thanks Tracy! I appreciate it! I hope you have an excellent weekend!

[@johnemmons9087]

Great job Kyle!!! It looks really cool! your right about that! Hah!! You guyz must be eating alotta watermelon! You could save it and make some watermelon wine! All kidding aside...it’s a great idea. Making weapons that work from “scavenged” parts is very useful. Sometimes I feel the world is falling apart and these skills will be important if not vital for survival. In fact my focus now is designing martial arts weapons for what I call, “times of stress”. Great stuff man! It did really look nice!!!

[@Karatemart]

Thank you so much John! I really appreciate that! I completely agree with you and I really enjoy making videos like this where I show how something can be made. Sadly, they don’t seem to be as popular though. I hope you have a great weekend brother!

[@steveford5763]

Why is there no weight in the end ?? Wouldn't that be better

[@Karatemart]

You could definitely fill the inside with sand or add weight to one of the ends, but generally escrima sticks are equally balanced at the ends, and the weight is already about perfect. Thanks so much for watching!

[@steveford5763]

@@Karatemart Oh, thanks for that info.... Just curious, but what if you had a baton stun gun that you did not have to push the tip to shock, but also any side to side strike would deliver a shock ??? I would love that....

[@Karatemart]

There are some stun batons out there that are like that. The nice thing about them is that if anyone tries to grab the stun baton along the sides, they get shocked.

[@steveford5763]

Thank you. I am looking at your hidden knives now.

[@andrewfrost8899]

No way man

[@GaryTurbo]

I call em drumsticks
