During the early stages of development in 2001, every synthetic and non-natural material that was available was tested- rigorously. Everything from fiberglass to nylon to carbon fiber to aluminum to polycarbonate. Hands down, we and everyone else who tried them, kept picking up one particular pair that had the best characteristics that we wanted: weight close to rattan, reduced shock, and absolutely indestructible. These were sticks you could hit against a telephone pole as hard as you like and then carry into the studio for partner training. As luck would have it, the material cost was the highest of all. So, a decision had to be made; carry a less than perfect stick that the customer might use occasionally or have to be replaced, or carry an expensive stick that lasts forever and covers the entire range of training. The later was chosen. Consider this, the next time you buy an inexpensive pair of sticks for half the price, the next pair you buy would have paid for your Bodyguard Sticks that you will never replace!
