POLYPROPYLENE TRAINING BARONG

You practise Filipino martial arts and your passion for martial arts drives you to explore new weapons. The Filipino martial arts barong is a traditional weapon that is an integral part of Filipino culture. This polypropylene barong will allow you to deepen your practice of Kali, Eskrima or Arnis with a weapon that has authentic forms.

Philippine martial arts — whether called Kali, Eskrima or Arnis — constitute a comprehensive discipline that encompasses work with sticks, blades, knives and bare hands. This Filipino martial system is renowned in the world of combat sports for its formidable effectiveness and fluid techniques. The barong, just like the pinuti, the bolo or the Filipino combat knife, is an integral part of the weapons studied in these martial arts.

An ideal Filipino replica weapon for your Kali, Eskrima and Arnis training

It is very comfortable to hold thanks to the diameter of the handle. The shape of the blade provides perfect balance, ideal for developing your bladed weapon handling techniques. The blade is slightly flexible and will minimise risks during your sessions (do, of course, wear protective gear when training intensively with a partner). We have no feedback regarding its potential use in real combat. We see this traditional Filipino weapon made of polypropylene more as a tool for developing your flow, footwork and combat reflexes, for training in the Ilustrisimo or Librefighting styles.

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced instructor, this weapon is suitable for all levels of practice in Filipino martial arts. An instructor of Kali, Eskrima or Arnis will appreciate the design, faithful to Filipino tradition, for teaching the fundamental principles of blade handling. The principles of the discipline remain the same: fluidity, precision and efficiency.

The Philippine barong in the Kali, Eskrima and Arnis systems

In the martial arts of the Philippines, practitioners are trained in the use of multiple weapons: single stick, double sticks, short blades, knife, combined stick and knife, as well as unarmed combat. The Kali style incorporates all these elements, making the fighter versatile in any combat situation. The barong enriches this repertoire of techniques by introducing a fighting style specific to its characteristic single-edged blade.

In Kali, as in Eskrima or Arnis, stick and blade combat techniques are closely linked to unarmed techniques. A stick, a knife or a barong may be encountered in a real combat situation: mastering the Filipino style with each weapon is therefore essential. Stick work directly prepares you for handling blades, and vice versa. This martial style is also compatible with other martial arts such as silat, another Southeast Asian combat discipline closely related to the Filipino style.

This barong, like the pinuti or the bolo, should be incorporated into your study of the various weapons of the Philippines. Your martial arts practice will be all the richer for it, whether you practise Kali, Eskrima, Arnis or a hybrid style incorporating stick, knife and unarmed techniques. Regular practice with this Filipino tool will develop your overall martial arts practice and your sense of blade combat.
