Braided staff: Szyszko

Staff sold individually , equipped with Kevlar wicks.

Braided fire staff (13mm rope):

This staff is a model that turns and rolls more smoothly than a normal staff. It can also be used for dynamic practice. It is a rather versatile staff. Its particularity compared to more affordable staffs is that it is equipped with Kevlar rope strands braided around the staff. There are no less than 6.3 meters of 13mm diameter Kevlar rope on this staff.

This amount of Kevlar and this type of braiding allows for the storage of large quantities of fuel, consequently, this allows for a more imposing flame that lasts longer than an assembly with a classic wick.

The heart of Szysko is an exceptional weave of 6.3 m of 13 mm rope.

The metal elements have been concealed to increase safety when using the staff. This special braiding allows oxygen to access a large surface area of the wick, which affects the size of the flame. The flame is enormous, visible from afar and felt up close.

For what type of practice?

The Szyszko fire staff is aimed at an adult professional audience looking for a versatile staff that can be used for dance with slow and fluid movements while giving good performance on fast movements. This model is not intended for specialized use like some other staff models that we present. However, be careful, we insist on use reserved for professionals , this model is one of our staffs which has the most substantial flames.

If you are looking for a lighter staff, we have a similar model with a 10mm wick braid. It has a slightly shorter burning time. This is the Boryna staff .

Tips for using fire staff:

Here are some guidelines to increase the lifespan of your staff. Professionals are used to these kinds of guidelines, but they can't be repeated enough...

When soaking your wicks, soak them 3/4 full, this will give the Kevlar time to absorb all the fuel and prevent it from leaking and dripping onto your staff grip. It is important to know that the staff grip is heat resistant but not flame resistant. Also, be careful not to let any fuel drip onto the staff grip, this could encourage flames to spread to the grip and cause deformation or premature wear of your grip.

• Never use fuel such as White Spirit, Benzene or other alcohol-based fuels, prefer the use of de-aromatized petroleum which produces a very yellow flame called "cold". If you have a blue or transparent flame, this means that you are not using the right fuel, do not insist and check your fuel.
• Do not hold the staff in a static vertical position, always keep it moving or in a horizontal position so that the flames do not damage the structure or elements of your staff such as its grip for example.
• Handle the grip gently to ensure a long lifespan.
• Do not dip the staff into the fuel.
