Where can I find a karambit trainer and a rubber training knife in Makati?
I haven't been to Manila for several years now, but I remember there used to be a knife shop at the first floor of Makati Cinema Square just across a Fastfood joint where they sold blades of all types from a Claymore replica to a Kali Ginunting, hunting knives, balisongs of all sizes and even belt knives we used to call a "Jabiddah" knife(owing to it being used in an Anthony Alonzo movie titled"The Jabiddah Massacre"). But this was way back ten years ago when I was still training in Kali at the facility in the basement. Dunno if the store still exists, but back then they even sold hardwood bokkens, Bo and Jo, as well as Kali sticks and sword canes and I'm pretty sure I saw some wooden training knives too. Another good source of MA training equipment is the Squadron Shoppe, they used to have a space at the old Virra Mall in Greenhills, then transferred to Makati Cinema Square, but last I've heard, they closed down for business and have only recently reopened another shop at the 3rd floor, Cash And Carry Mall, located at South Superhighway (now named Osmena Highway), near Buendia (now Gil Puyat). edit: Balisongs are sold in the sports section of most malls in the Philippines.
Filipino culture?
i have an art project and it requires the knowledge of my ancestry. i was born in the Philippines, but my family and i moved to the U.S when i was only four. therefore leaving me not much background knowledge of the Philippines except the food i eat, the language i speak(tagalog), and the traditions we celebrate. I am suppose to include three symbols or object from my culture. Any ideas?
