WEAPONS



 Again, rather than this being confusing, it helps us tie the common threads



Examples:

We have the NUNCHAKU from Kobudo - KALI has the Tayok, a lighter rattan version of the same weapon

We have the TONFA from Kobudo - KRABI has the Mai Sok San, the same thing

KAMA in Kobudo - Silat has the Celurit


The KALI Largo Mano Yantok is the same length as the Hanbo, though rattan so lighter and faster and used differently


The JO - Thai has Krabong and Phlong


The BO - Kali has the rattan Bankaw

SILAT Toya is the 5 foot rattan staff


The YAWARA - Kali has to Dulo - the Palm Stick

YARI - Spear - Kali has the Sibat - Silat has the Tombak


KATANA - Kali has the Kampilan, different and used in a different way, though still a two handed sword


Krabi and Daab in Thai are used like Kali Bolo Machete - in Silat the Parang and Golok

Shoto swords - Silat has the Pedang, stright like a NINJATO or curved like the Wakizashi
