A bit late into the discussion but let me add: Stance becomes very important the more skilled your opponents become. In my club, even the most...
Heh, my instructor has also seen Red do it live, without any incident. He said that there was one part in the vid that he did differently and...
I was having trouble with the PM Function. But to answer some questions: 1)I am sure that at least 2 Pekiti groups know about the event and are...
I didn't know that people were talking about the sparring event. Well, we're not doing it for the publicity so that's to be expected. The...
If you're asking around about me and the 2008 test of skill challenge- it would be helpful for you to ask, not about who fought in 2008 but who...
I really have no stake in another Arnis *erm* Kali group's marketing strategy. If they want to sell themselves as the most badass killers in the...
I wouldn't go out and use it to clear "mountain jungle" either. It is a very practical camping or utility knife. But it isn't a camping or utility...
Yeah, I think I ought to have a celebratory meal after doing one of these! I find it interesting that I've never had any trouble with these...

Ah, it's the Filipino languages thing again. Yours is a talibong from another region. (I forget where, from the hip, it looks like something from...
Ah, I've used this for practice and test cuts. My friend has a video of me cutting a piece of Pata with it. Cuts through flesh and bone like it...
Bonus points to Pat, as he was the first to mention Talibong! It's actually a Talibong from Libacao, Aklan. The pommel is an anito called...
This is a sword I got years ago. It was a birthday gift for me from an uncle. I promised some time back that I'll post pictures here in the MAP,...
Bahi Niyog would be best. I think it's superrior to Kamagong in just about every way. It's about as heavy, it's more resilient, it's cheaper, and...
This is the first time I've browsed more than 3 pages of this thread. I do honestly hope that this is all a joke. If you (Bgile and Kalislash)...
I'll have to read through that later tonight. looks informative but lacking in pictures.
