How to make a scabbard for a Kampilan?

imas560 · 6th August 2012, 09:25 PM

thanks Battara and Vandoo,
I was wanting to take along a scabbard with the kampilan to my next club meeting to illustrate the concept as outlined by Vandoo and Cato (p57).
I might use string.
Some of the starting movements from a couple of kampilan forms I've seen make a lot of sense when a breakaway(?) scabbard is used.
I'm thinking of using plywood and a router.
(Plywood as it is cheap and can't be mistaken for an original scabbard).
thanks again

Where have you seen kampilan forms?

Hello Nirghosa,
GM Epifanio "Yuli" Romo from Bahad Zu'bu has a few sets of movements/techniques specifically for the kampilan (both demonstration/display in the public arena and some practical/application sets) and a demonstration set/form set for a long staff (bio/biao stick) that can be easily adapted (except for a couple of moves).

oops, apologies if the fma segue is a no-no

Ah OK, I am aware of GM Yuli's interpretations. I occasionally meet with students of his in the US.
I was unaware of any other publically available exhibitions and was quite curious. thanks for the explanation

Why would an FMA sugue be a no no though?

I thought it might be off-topic. Not sure of protocol in regards to discussion that is not centered on the items themselves.

While i am certainly not a moderator, I would think in this instance it would be relevant as it speaks to the possible martial application of the scabbard and the construction techiques requested.
