BARAW SUGBO KNIFE – TRAINING KNIFE, ALUMINIUM TRAINING KNIFE FOR KALI ESKRIMA

The “Baraw Sugbo” knife from BLAKLIST is much more than just a training knife: it is a tool designed specifically for practitioners of Filipino martial arts, particularly Kali Eskrima and Baraw Sugbo. True to Filipino traditions, this aluminium training knife is designed to enhance every combat training session with realism and safety.

Kali, also known as eskrima or arnis, is a combat system originating in the Philippines. This comprehensive combat system is based on the use of weapons (sticks, knives, short sticks) as well as unarmed combat. Philippine martial arts such as Kali Eskrima, Arnis or Silat are among the most comprehensive disciplines in the fields of defence and self-defence. Whether you practise Kali, Eskrima, Arnis Eskrima, Silat, Karate or any other self-defence discipline, this training knife will meet your expectations.

Our knife features a multi-purpose ‘Bushcraft’-style design, intended for use in close-quarters combat and self-defence. It has a generous size and a wide blade, allowing you to practise disarmament and defence techniques, and, above all, it offers an ideal grip thanks to the shape of the handle and its design, which perfectly balances the knife. The movements specific to Filipino martial arts are thus reproduced with maximum realism during every training session.

Kali Eskrima are martial art that rely on the repetition of techniques using mock weapons in order to progress safely. The Baraw Sugbo knife is therefore the ideal piece of equipment for practitioners of Kali Arnis, Arnis Eskrima or any other combat system associated with Filipino martial arts. Thanks to its aluminium construction, this training knife faithfully replicates the weight and feel of a real combat knife, thereby facilitating the repetition of techniques specific to Kali Eskrima.

Arnis, Kali and Eskrima are martial arts that utilise the baton, the knife and unarmed combat in equal measure. The baton remains the primary weapon in most systems, such as Kali Arnis or Arnis Eskrima, but the knife plays a central role in the Filipino combat system. Using the stick and knife in tandem enables Kali Eskrima practitioners to develop a comprehensive defence. Whether you are practising with the short stick, the long stick, dual weapons or the knife, this model adapts to all combat situations encountered in Filipino martial arts.

As a practitioner of Kali, Eskrima, Arnis or even karate, you know just how essential regular training with suitable weapons is for making progress. This Baraw Sugbo training knife from BLAKLIST is designed to support every practitioner in their movements, combinations and combat sequences, whether practising Kali Eskrima, Silat or any other martial art incorporating weapon work. A discerning practitioner chooses equipment that matches their ambitions.

Remember to always wear protective goggles suitable for your discipline and, in some cases, forearm guards. This protective gear is essential during training sessions in Kali Arnis, Arnis Eskrima or any other combat system involving weapons.

A knife sheath may also be available to help you carry and protect your training knife between your Kali, Eskrima or Arnis sessions.

Please note that slight scratches or shallow marks may sometimes be present on this aluminium knife; this is due to the manufacturing methods and the very nature of the material. This in no way affects the quality or performance of this equipment during your Filipino martial arts combat and training sessions.
