Sayoc Winkler RnD Fighting Tomahawk Face-Off: Full Size or Compact? | Terminal List

[@markstallman1670]

Much appreciation for your series on the Winkler Tomahawks. The overall information will be helpful sorting out which to purchase. Alsp the added applications portion could be a training video. As always well done!

[@RolandoEstocada]

Thank you Mark for your continued support! And yes - MORE TO COME! 🙏🏽🔥👊🏽

The handle design is also to be able to be utilized as a breaching tool. Many of the modern tactical tomahawks came out of the desire to use as both a weapon and a tool. Great review

[@RolandoEstocada]

Thank you! 🙏🏽

Beautiful tomahawks. I'd love to purchase the full size one some day.

[@RolandoEstocada]

Great choice and a narrow favorite over the compact! And I mean NARROW!

[@MrFra1ler]

Such a great channel. Wish I had found it sooner

[@RolandoEstocada]

Thank you! My channel as a broad category for you to do a look-back! Also, turn on notifications as I have several videos premiering for the holiday weekend! Stay tuned! 🙏🏽🔥👊🏽

Definitely, I enjoyed your vids on these Winkler RnD hawks. I do also have one and have a found similar experiences on what you found in what each weapon tells you. Not too many people nowadays explains the why/purpose of the design features found in a weapons designs. This led me to design my own variants of a fighting hawk. My first design, I named it “The Multo”. I borrowed design aspects from the Igorot head axe, but with a multi-functional handle. My newest design is called “The Yokai”. This has a different style of blade, meshing the Kunai with a Spontoon blade. It too has an evolution of my multi function handle. If you want to see them, I have short vids on my KZbin page.

Thank you - the Multo looks very scary!

[@fugu_facesr.7081]

Thank you for taking the time to look at them. I designed them to complement my skillsets learned from Serrada Escrima, Silat Suffian Bela Diri and Muay Thai. Both my Multo and YoKai are balanced at the middle of the handle, so you can do broken strikes easily and change hand positions without over committing.

[@RolandoEstocada]

@fugu_facesr.7081 that is excellent!

[@RolandoEstocada]

@fugu_facesr.7081 email me at [e-mail] to discuss further.

[@fugu_facesr.7081]

Sounds good!!

[@MrFra1ler]

I have both of these. And I don’t have any training. The segment at the end where your demoing the two different tools was very interesting. I was impressed by how much more range you had and distance you were covering with the full Size. Like you said they’re not that much different in size. But seeing how the tool was being utilized was really cool

[@RolandoEstocada]

Thank you! I liken them to a katana and wakizashi - same shape but completely different curriculums.

The spiked RnD was originally designed for use in Sayoc Kali by Rafael Kayanan and works wonderfully for this purpose. However, for use by Tier 1 units, the reality is, a tomahawk without a spike serves a much more useful purpose. RnD’s are all the rage because of Terminal List, but if you look at the Tier 1 hawks, they do not have spikes. We’ve all heard the axiom, don’t bring a knife to a gunfight. True enough… actually fighting with a tomahawk or edged weapon in a kinetic environment is the stuff of movies.

[@RolandoEstocada]

Interesting insights! Appreciate you sharing!

[@bawihmung3544]

I really want to get one. I don’t think most of us would actually use this in a survival situation (living in the city and all), but I need an excuse to get it lol. Have you tried chopping woods or anything like that? I know it’s not a regular axe, but would this work for a camping trip? You may have talk about it before in other vids, but I just wanted to ask 😅. Please let me know. Maybe a testing video lol. I don’t want a regular tomahawk. I need this one, but I have to justify why I would pay over 800 if I won’t really use it lol.

The best civilian use of today’s martial weapons is for mind-body practice. The martial systems that support these tools provide multiplanar movement opportunities that provide health benefits that improve our motor control capabilities, cognitive function, and musculoskeletal capabilities such as grip retention. All of the above benefits are benchmarks that mitigate conditions related to age-related decline. One could argue that a $50 hatchet at Walmart would suffice, but I have not found this to be the case (based on ergonomics and tactile feedback which are critical to effective practice). The philosophy of use argument to acquire pieces such as the RnD are often related to utilitarian function, rather than a health function. Improved health is the better argument - if you plan to practice DAILY. I make this argument in my upcoming episode (specifically for compact tomahawks) in my episode that debuts today at 10am EST. Do not purchase this if your intention is to chop wood. It is like purchasing a Shinken katana to open boxes. Purchase it only if you plan to dedicate your life to daily practice. 🙏🏽🔥👊🏽

[@bawihmung3544]

@@RolandoEstocada thank you for the advice. I think I will buy it still and maybe get into practicing as well.

[@RolandoEstocada]

@bawihmung3544 there you go!

[@spaceman61]

I bought the full size, I can always choke up.
