Introductory lesson on the basic handling of the Tongan warclub. Post your questions and requests on the comments section below and thank you for watching!
Important: Please understand that the following movements are based on my experience with weaponry and I am not formally trained in Tongan or any Polynesian martial arts. There currently aren't any video examples of Tongan martial arts being practiced and shown in public.
Check out www.etsy.com/shop/VulpesTraining for this and other polymer training weapons.

Right on... 20 years of CZcams and we finally get a video on a 2 handed Tongan war club.
Thanks! Honestly, I'm rather surprised that there's currently no video examples out there on any Tongan warrior arts. Even Hawaiian martial arts have quite a few videos out now. But as long as there's interest, I'd be happy to make more tutorials like this. Thanks for your support! ^_^
@@1stSpear you're trail blazing
Nice. I've been wearing my Utilikilts for the past three years now.
Fantastic presentation. Thank you
Thank you!
Thats awesome brother, id love to get me one of those and different tongan weapons. kiaora from new zealand
Greetings as well from the Pacific Northwest of USA!
All of your videos are awesome. Please post more on this Tongan weapon.
Looks like a Maori Taiaha with the bladed tongue at the end of the Pommel removed.
Could probably use it the same way, it will just bludgeon more than stab.
I guess so but I've never held a taiaha. I do know they're longer than these clubs.
Brilliant. One of the more interesting vids I've seen in a while. Great learning about cultural weapons. Thanks.
Thank you for watching!
Awesome to see you using this weapon.
I'm from NZ and have seen a few but never seen the techniques used to wield them.
I have practised Mau Rakau (taiaha)...
Similar but completely different....thank you bro. Nga mihi
Thank you! Do you have videos on the taiaha? I'd love to see them. I've always been interested in that weapon but cannot obtain one in the US.
Sorry for the late reply bro, I'm not sure how to send links but there is a small demo on YT showcasing both Taiaha and Patu.
"Mad as Maori weaponry skills" is the clip
I am a long time practitioner of kobudo okinawan/Japanese, over 4 decades, and I've always been impressed with the war club weapon platforms of Tonga and Hawaiian Lua. I am grateful i some how came across this channel.
Thank you brotha!
Sir, do you ever travel to the States for seminars or training?
I am in the States. Eugene, OR in fact. ^_^
@@1stSpear, please excuse my ignorance... I should have researched you a bit more. I am in Florida. Next time I am on the west coast I will definitely make the attempt to come see you. One of my Teachers Professor Feliciano ‘Kimo’ Ferreira, recently passed, was very instrumental in sharing his knowledge of Lua and the Island Arts. I wish I had been able to learn more from him. We worked mostly on Kempo and never seemed to have time for weapons. Thank you for communicating with me, i am sure you are quite busy. Best Regards Wes Brown
No need to apologize brother. Many people thought I was in the Philippines, lol. You're more than welcome if you ever visit Eugene and I'll be happy to share with you what I've learned. ^_^
Amazing 😂
I have this weapon it very Good
puedes subir videos de algunas técnicas de combate que tengas con ese arma?
Ok, lo haré pronto.
Use the kampilan more in the future. Just want to see it being used in FMA more often.
Ok. Is there anything in particular with the kampilan you'd like to see? Basic techniques, combo exercises, etc?
@@1stSpear probably on how to attack using the kampilan. Would also love to see you using it on sparring sessions.
Have you used a taiaha before? Or a pouwhenua? Very awesome māori weapons from nz
No but brudda, I've been wanting to get my hands on one. Seems very difficult (and expensive) to get one over to the US. There are some non-Maori craftsmen that make it here but I'd rather have an authentic one from NZ. One day when I'm able to afford a trip to NZ I'm hoping to get one and bring it home. But I keep hearing it's difficult.
So if you know or hear of a source, where one like myself can purchase a proper Maori taiaha I would really appreciate it. ^_^
There's a hawaiian guy on youtube carving weapons from all over the pacific. I believe his youtube channel is Koa studios.
is there a reason why u use a Akau Tau? this is interesting because I'm Tongan n always wondered how my ancestors would've used it..
I was mainly interested on my friend's craftsmanship and was curious how one might wield such a weapon.
I initially asked him if he could make a polymer taiaha but he didn't have enough material for the proper length but he happens to have made one of these so I snagged one. ^_^
I thought it was a bit uncanny that I saw you posted a video with one after I asked Vulpes to make two for my brother and I. I was curious how to use it most effectively, and found PTK interesting. I’ve been training with Gary in FC off and on ever since. I’d love to train together someday since you have one.
Can you please share where this was purchased?
You can purchse it online at Vulpes Training.
Gotte ask, i noticed in most if not all you wear a kilt, can i ask why?
It's just a look I fell into few years ago. That along with my mohawk became my trademark appearance.
Hit a bear with thing 😅😅😅
