Two crossed rattan sticks on a gym floor in slats of light

Hello, I’m Rico

My uncle put a rattan stick in my hand in the yard when I was nine, and I have been hitting the same patterns ever since. I am not a master. I am a student who films his practice and shares what keeps him coming back.

Every Saturday I post one drill. Most are filmed on the dirt patch behind my house, with a phone on a tripod, my cousin as a partner and the neighbour’s dog watching from the fence.

The sheets, cards and courses are the things I wanted when I started: small, plain and made for a person with a stick and a bit of floor.
