The instructors had bought up a bunch of wooden paint stirrers, the ones around 12" long, cut them in half, then taped then up with duct tape. They help up pretty well for what we used them for. If you want to make some training blades from wood, I would opt for a hardwood, such as Oak or Hickory. I made a really nice one from 3/4" cabinet grade plywood. Try locating a cabinet shop to see if you can get some scrap pieces from them. It is stronger then regular plywood.

This portion fit in with a previous list disucssion: "All eskrima/arnis share more common traits than differences. The Filipino stick fighting in many ways is really different compared to other stick fighting systems in the region. The eskrima styles as practiced by many Ilocanos in the far north of the archipelago are basically familiar to the styles found in the south, in the Visayas. There maybe differences in some expressions but generally speaking they are the same." And on the LapuLapu / Magellan battle: "I've always been a proud Cebuano, however I find it difficult to believe that Lapu-lapu defeated Magellan with his superior Kali skills as portrayed by the pseudo historians in the FMA circles. For all I care Magellan could have tripped on the corals off the shores of Mactan and bashed his head on the rocks. The "battle" that took place as historians tell us was actually a lopsided massacre. Magellan only had less than a 50 man reconnaissance patrol (not a full scale invasion by any military standard) against more than one thousand men of Lapu-lapu, and you call that a Martial Art victory? Pure hogwash! As the first Asian to repel a foreign invader, Lapu-lapu's niche in Philippine history is already assured, but please let us stop spicing up the story on the "Battle" of Mactan as an epic display of our hero's Martial Arts prowess."
