Limited time offer for our Richmond members!
Until they sell out, we have 18 coveted "Richmond Balintawak" branded rattan sticks available for purchase. These were recently brought back from the Philippines by Jemar. They are thicker and heavier than the previous sticks he has sourced. According to Jemar, these are likely to be the last sticks he is able to procure from his un-identified source for awhile. Initially, I will be limiting purchases to one stick per member until everyone has an opportunity to get one. If there are any leftover, additional purchases will be allowed. The cost is $10 each, cash only, and you must come to the gym to get one, no mail or phone orders and no shipping. Sale begins tomorrow, Saturday, 1/20/18.
