Pair of Short Sticks • Authentic Karra-samu seasoning and traditional designs with no paint/varnished
Karra-samu natural bamboo podi kuchi pair with authentic traditional seasoning and no extra paint or vanish. The traditional artisans also add their signature traditional overlay styles on the sticks. Authentic seasoning of the bamboo make it solid and provides better impact resistance and longevity. The sticks can be heavy and hard making these ideal for light strength-endurance training and real world sparring. In addition to having its own distinct styles of rotations (Sutrus) and Varisai (sequences) Podi-kuchi can be used to practice various Karlakattai and Sword (Vaal/Katti) sutrus and Varisai. Podi-kuchi can also be used to practice silambam Kambu (long stick) sutrus if practice space is a constraint. Bamboo Karra-samu Podi-kuchi are less flexible, hard and heavy compared to Rattan which makes them more suitable if the aim is to practice heavier Ayudhs later. Podi-kuchi is sometimes also termed as Seddi-kuchi (or chedi-kuchi) which is slightly longer but both names can be used interchangibly in most of the cases.
Apply oils (castor, neem, mustard and other traditional pure oils). You may add a few drops of traditional essential oils to the mix.
