Solo Baston is the same as Kali Sticks in the Kali Sikaran programs. It's an important fundamental block that teaches the practitioner how to defend themself with an impact weapon. In some styles there's a lot of focus on the equivalence to a machete which was the main focus traditionally. Practise with the stick and go to war with the real thing.
Today it's still a valid aspect but we also want to address and learn how to use and defend against iron bars, baseball bats etc. Check out this video from the archives to see some examples.
