Main Product Features
The Gora Travel Dragon Staff is a professional collapsible 10-head fire Dragonstaff designed for traveling fire performers, flow arts enthusiasts and stage artists who need a compact yet reliable fire spinning prop.
Its innovative 2-in-1 design combines a traditional Fire Contact Staff with a spectacular 10-head Dragonstaff. The system features two main fire heads and two removable dragon adapter cuffs, each holding four additional fire spikes.
The key advantage of the Gora Travel Dragon Staff is its travel-friendly construction. The main staff, dragon adapters and spikes can be disassembled into compact components for convenient transportation in checked luggage.
Despite its collapsible design, the staff provides a secure and balanced feel. Special rubber joints connect the individual staff sections, creating a straight and stable construction while minimizing unwanted movement during spinning.
The recommended standard configuration features a 166 cm staff made from high-strength 7075 aluminum. An optional carbon fiber version is also available, although Gora recommends aluminum for most performers because of its greater stability when equipped with all ten fire heads.
Benefits and Applications
Collapsible Design for Easy Travel
The main staff can be separated into smaller sections using specially designed rubber connectors. All eight dragon spikes can also be removed from their adapter cuffs, allowing the entire setup to be packed compactly for transportation.
Versatile 2-in-1 Fire Staff
With the dragon adapters installed, the prop becomes a 10-head Dragonstaff capable of producing spectacular flame circles. Removing the adapters transforms it into a traditional Fire Contact Staff for contact spinning techniques.
Stable Rubber Joint Connections
The collapsible construction uses flexible rubber joints to maintain a straight and secure connection between the staff sections. This design helps prevent unwanted wobbling and provides controlled rolling performance.
Premium 7075 Aluminum Construction
The standard staff and dragon spikes are made from durable 7075 aluminum, combining high strength with low weight. This makes the Gora Travel Dragon Staff suitable for dynamic flow arts routines and professional fire performances.
SuperGrip or Natural Hemp Grip
The 3.2 mm thick SuperGrip features a cushioned underlayer and textured surface designed to provide reliable handling even during intense performances.
An optional hemp fiber grip offers a natural feel, excellent sweat absorption and long-lasting durability. Hemp is also a more sustainable alternative that can be composted at the end of its lifecycle.
Quick-Release Dragon Spikes
Each dragon adapter cuff holds four spikes. The innovative ball-bearing and spring mechanism allows the spikes to be inserted or removed with a simple push or pull movement, without additional tools.
Customizable Rolling Speed
Spike length affects the rolling speed of the Dragonstaff. Shorter spikes create faster rotations, while longer spikes slow down the movement. Gora recommends a standard spike length of 20 mm and medium-sized fire heads for most configurations.
Ideal for Traveling Fire Performers
The compact design makes the Gora Travel Dragon Staff particularly suitable for fire festivals, workshops, stage performances and traveling flow arts artists who require professional equipment without sacrificing portability.
Additional Product Information
The Gora Travel Dragon Staff offers extensive customization options, allowing performers to select their preferred staff length, tube material, grip style, silicone color and fire head configuration.
Tube Material
The standard version features a 7075 aluminum tube, offering excellent strength and stability. An optional carbon fiber tube measuring 22 × 1.5 mm is available for performers seeking a lighter setup. However, the additional weight of the dragon fire heads may cause increased wobbling with carbon fiber.
Grip Options
SuperGrip provides a textured, cushioned surface for secure handling. The optional hemp fiber grip offers natural comfort, excellent moisture absorption and a more sustainable construction.
Fire Head Designs
The two main staff fire heads are available in several styles:
- Classic: Traditional fire heads made from 10 cm wide Kevlar wick, available in three sizes
- Isis: Knotted fire heads made from six Kevlar ropes for impressive flames
- Wicker: Woven fire heads made from four thicker Kevlar ropes
- Monkey Fist: Ball-shaped fire heads made from knotted Kevlar rope
Knotted fire heads are particularly suitable for performances where minimizing excess fuel dripping is important. Classic fire heads are recommended for burnoff tricks.
Silicone Heat Protection
A protective silicone coating near the main fire heads helps reduce the risk of contact with heated metal. Different colors are available, with black offering the highest heat resistance according to Gora.
Assembly and Disassembly
To assemble the collapsible staff, insert the connector into the tube and rotate the staff sections clockwise approximately two or three times until securely fastened. Avoid overtightening to prevent damage to the rubber joint.
To disassemble, rotate counterclockwise approximately two or three times until the sections separate easily. Excessive rotation should be avoided.

Safety and Usage Recommendations:
The Gora Travel Dragon Staff is intended for trained fire performers. Always inspect the staff connections, adapter cuffs, screws and spikes before use.
Avoid overtightening the adapter screws to prevent damage to the silicone coating. During fire performances, do not keep the burning Dragonstaff stationary for extended periods, as the flames may damage the silicone.
Do not immerse silicone-covered sections in fuel. Gora recommends dipping approximately three-quarters of each wick to reduce excess fuel and dripping.
Never place burning wicks directly on the ground. Fire performances should only be conducted under appropriate safety conditions.
