- A pair of custom polymer kampilan trainers of my own design, made by Native Clan Training Blades. It's a modern and simplfied take on the traditional kampilan, emphasizing functionality. Excellent weight and balance.
One day I hope to have these made into real swords.

I wish I could learn more of this
Awesome kampilan! And it looks like it flows very well.
Thank you! Yes, Native Clan Training Blades makes the best polymer trainers that are accurate in weight and balance to the real swords of its type. They're also very tough and are well suited for all manner of training and full-contact sparring.
My favaurite filipino weapon
Hey pare! I know this is an old video, but do you have the dimensions for your kampilan? I wanna forge that long handle. Since its a one hander, you're not gonna find a handle like that in the markets.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
I just noticed. that training kampilan you have, the point in the bottom of the handle is facing the wrong way lol
I know what you mean, but no it's not the wrong way. This is my own custom design. It has a single barb on the grip instead of full handguard and the pommel curves forward to mimic the common bolo or ginunting grips. The length is also a bit shorter so that it can be wielded as a single handed sword or hand and a half sword. It also curves forward like a ginunting instead of the typical straight blade of a traditional kampilan.
KOO either count Duku or GOT type of sword !
I've been looking at both native clan and tak knife ginunting trainers that have finger ridges. I haven't seen too many comparison/review videos on them, does anyone have any advice on which to get? Also I'm thinking about getting into lightsaber dueling as a hobby as there's a local group for that, but not one for kali in my area. Do you have an opinion of those trainers being used against both heavy grade lightsabers and rattan sticks?
I personally don't like finger grooves/ridges in the handle of mass produced swords/trainers because there's a chance they won't fit your hand. I prefer a simple but solid handle. You can always add texture to the grips by wrapping it, which you can't really do on a handle with finger grooves. Tak knife ginunting trainer designs are based on the Prado ginunting, which doesn't have the best blade profile and the handle just looks way busy. I wish they'd make a ginunting trainer based on a different template. However, I do like Take knife products; I have a pair of their tomahawk trainers and they're excellent!
As for lightsabers (check out my lightsaber channel ua-cam.com/users/TheSaberTribe), if I understand your question correctly, yes either of these synthetic trainers can withstand contact training/sparring with a heavy grade lightsaber blade and definitely a rattan stick. Though it doesn't really make sense to use and "edged" trainer against a lightsaber that has a 360 degree cutting surface. Do what I did and get yourself a cheapo ultrasabers (grab bag) lightsaber with light and a medium or heavy grade blade and train with that. ^_^
Thanks for the info. You got a subscriber now :)
Right on sir! Thank you!
Kampilan cant never be pekiti tirsia. Pekiti means short and kampilan is long sword. They contradict each other by arts and by name. Plse research more. Kali and pekiti tirsia are two different system or arts. Put it this way, tie two birds' feet to make it as one even they had four wings they cannot fly. Im not having crab mentality, they feel akward when you swing both.
Your assessment of pekiti tirsia is incorrect. Pekiti means "extreme close," not "short." The art's name describes its combat strategies and guerilla style hit-n-run tactics, NOT because of the weapon. Pekiti-tirsia has long weapon systems; malayu sibat (spear), bankaw (staff) and even dos manos (2 handed sword). The training methodology teaches one to be able to handle all manner of handheld weapons and for this reason why many of its traditional principles are even transferrable to modern firearms. So maybe you needs to do more research instead of acting like a know-it-all. Thanks.
