Today, most people are larger than Japanese warriors were in days of old.
Hence 35.82" | 91 cm is too short for most people.
39.37" | 100 cm is optimal for most in our experience
Thus our Hanbos are requested to 99% in 100 cm.

Would you like a Aluminium cane, Bamboo or a Fiberglass Core?
Each has its own merits.
Soft Hanbo with Aluminum cane core
What an ingenious combination!!!
A Soft Hanbo with an aluminum cane core is almost as light as bamboo, but almost as strong as fiberglass.
We didn't give our prototypes with aluminum tubing a second thought and went for it - the cores hold! Levers also work great with it.
Soft Hanbo with Fiberglass Core
A Soft Hanbo with fiberglass core has quiet the "punch" to it. Even though it is safe to use in most contexts, it can be used with a lot of force if need be.
Ideal for levering techniques.
The "good" weight forces you into shaping up your Taijutsu. Our training greatly profited from it.
Soft Hanbo with Bamboo Core
A Soft-Hanbo with a bamboo core is suitable for everything you know in training. Of course, your training partner will be much less impressed by hits to the face or body.
Bamboo has that typical lightness with which you like to hit it :-)
Unfortunately, as a natural material, bamboo has the disadvantage that the stability in our strengths cannot be calculated, despite visual and breakage tests.
