I saw at least 3 distinct segments on stickfighting. I also saw that the better fighters used body shifting to (as opposed to steping) to move in and out of range. I also saw a lot of blocking by the defender and perhaps some drawing in the instance of the second fighter (during the team match). He seemed to be very much on the defensive but finished the fight with one strike to the arm and he seemed to be unharmed himself. Just my perceptions.

Most people refer to them as "kampilan" because they don't know what to call it. You could also probably call it a bangkung but that's probably not technically correct either. I have a several non- muslims swords similar to this (Bagobo, tagakolo, etc.) It is a geniune item, they're just not as well known or as popular as the muslim stuff. Regards.

Just wondering ... when did Hapkido become a "competition martial art"? Hapkido and Hwarangdo are not very far apart, and neither has sporting or competitions as their reason for being or M.O. In fact, one Korean Grandmaster told me regarding Hwarangdo: "Oh, that's just Hapkido." More combat-oriented Korean ways that include weapons (long/short single/double sticks, swords, knife), yes? Perhaps their methods differ from what we find in FMAs ... perhaps the practitioners encountered were not "exemplary" ... whatever. Hwarangdo, Hapkido, Kuk Sool ... good stuff, but not for sport competitions. Mitakuye Oyasin.

There have been a few groups/orgs that have tried some Hapkido competitions, but of course this does not make HKD a competition martial art. Just as the fact that there are WEKAF competitions make Eskrima a competition martial art (at least I hope not :). One of those that have tried is, I believe it is, the World Hapkido Games Federation out of Seoul. Does that sound right?
