PP Barong Training Sword Unbreakable Polypropylene | 65.5cm | Balanced 348g The PP Barong brings the iconic leaf-shaped blade of the southern Philippines to safe training — the traditional sword of the Tausug and Moro peoples, and a staple of Filipino martial arts weapons work. The broad, weighted profile gives it a cutting feel unlike any straight blade in the range. Moulded from durable polypropylene, it takes regular dojo sessions and supervised training without cracking or splintering. At 65.5cm and a balanced 348g, the weight sits forward the way a barong should, developing edge alignment and controlled power through movement, transitions and weapon-control work.

This trainer reproduces the profile in safe polypropylene for forms and technique practice. Barong or mandau — which should I choose?Both are Southeast Asian single-hand blades. The barong (65.5cm/348g) is broader and forward-weighted for cutting mechanics; the mandau (68.5cm/290g) is slimmer and faster in the hand. FMA practitioners typically reach for the barong; both make striking demonstration pieces. Is it suitable for partner work?It's built for forms and controlled drills under qualified instruction. It's a rigid trainer that carries real impact, so it's not intended for contact sparring — use control and appropriate protective equipment. Delivery Ships Australia-wide from our Sydney warehouse.
