Taped Spurs as the cockfighting weapons. Many countries practiced cockfighting with taped spurs. Popular in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, and Belgium. Taped Spurs are done differently in world wide. In a certain country or vicinity, the cloth need to be wrapped around 7 times covering the natural pointed spurs. In some countries, the spurs has to be cut then taped. Nowadays, some countries are using sparring gloves or sparring muffs instead of cloth wrappings. Naked Heels as cockfighting weapon is popular in many countries from all over the world. From Latin America, Europe, Near Europe, Middle East, Indian Subcontinent, East Asia, Central Asia, Southeast Asia, South America and North America. Long pointed natural spurs, cut natural spurs, or natural spurless. I am Igon, one of the Philippine Asils, from Bicol region of the Philippines. I am typically spurless (do not grow natural spur). I am typically about 1.7-2.2 kilograms. I come on any colors and can be hennie feather too. My specialty is naked heel. I typically fight for 2.5-3.5 hours to a draw. In order for me to win, I must be able to hit the head accurately without wasting my power hitting the body. Sometimes, if I feel I can take my opponent down with my power blows I will hit him in his back, shoulders, and neck too. But again, the head as a target is my specialty. Also I am a wheeler when the ring is larger and I can be locker or standup in smaller ring. My other game is long knife fighting. I have to be fought with fuller body in this game. I have to be selected for body punching in this game. I must have a complete style for this game. Reference: |
