Baston (weapon)

two with sticks or canes, nagkakalis)Another instance where it is recorded is in "Vocabulario de la lengua Pampanga en Romance" by Fr.

(Micalis, to rub canes, swords and everything else)Traditional common materials for wooden bastons are usually rattan, kamagong, and bahi wood.

[4] Prolonged impact training with rattan sticks will tend to splinter their ends so some practitioners use electrical or duct tape in order to protect their bastons, as they are more expensive outside of the Philippines.

It is said that bone will break before a good kamagong baston will, but those of low quality can splinter or shatter on impact due to their hardness and lack of flexibility.

Hitting suspended or mounted vehicle tires is also a common practice in order to build speed, power and impact by practitioners.
