The participants used thin staves or sticks made of ash or similar strong, whippy wood with a cup hilt to protect the hand. The "fight" would continue until one participant drew blood or until some agreed upon other limiting rule. The game was essentially derived from training for the saber and officer's sword in the British Army. It was very popular up to the First World War when the British finally realized that the swordsman had little chance against the pistol, rifle and, ,especially the machine gun on the European battlefield.

That sounds like French 'le cane'. Similar? Different?

Kris Cutlery carries sticks of kamagong, yakal, several other woods, plus a number of bladed Filipino weapons. http://www.invis.com/kriscutlery/index.html http://www.invis.com/kriscutlery/sandata.html While not listed on the website, the sticks are in the catalog. The kampilan is among items not listed on the website, but in the catalog, and I'm extremely happy with mine. Cecil Quirino has a superb product.
