  • sword preferences?

    hello all... i was curious as to everyones sword of choice and why? is it the sword of choice for your system? personal reasons? more than one sword? does it just feel right? my own personal favorite for the moment is the long pinuti-it can do almost eveything i need, slash/hack/chop/and my favorite-thrust... no eskrima system is complete w/o one... any other takers on this topic?

    I like the pinuti very much myself, I made a 24" and a 30" I personally like the shorter one better. However I train the most with a gununting.

      Hello,

      I would have to agree, The Ginunting is my favorite. It is part of the Dekiti Tirsia Siradas that I am studding. The Talibong has a very nice shape as well.

        I like strong decapiting blows, therefore Barongs, Piras and filipino Krisses are weapons of choice. Bolos are easier to carry around and nice too...

          Bolo. Grew up having them in the house - just have this affinity for them. Pinuti is nice! It's like a longer bolo w/ a guard. And of course the Barong - for it's beauty.

                All I have are a few bolos and a Kris.

                By the way, does anyone know if the Kris and Barongs sold in Aldevinco are tourist blades?
