Okay I am always out and about and teaching private or semi private lessons outside. So for years I have either carted around things in a duffel bag or simply carried them individually. So recently I wised up and while perusing a site I noticed a gear bag that probably would do the trick.
The site in question is Kali Gear: http://www.kaligear.com/catalog/index.php
Here is the direct link to the Fighter Bag: http://kaligear.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=72
The gear bag that I am reviewing here is the Fighter Bag. Okay, so I ordered one and it arrived and I must say I am impressed with the workmanship and apparent durability. Even better I was able to stuff in the bag without cramping it. Two wood bolos, one aluminum bolo, my wallet, kerambit trainer, four rubber training knives, two wood training knives and two sticks. All that with still a little room left over. (just a little) After everything was in it you can fold it up so that it really does not take up to much space.
Here are some pictures:
All in all I am very happy with this gear bag and it suits my purposes for a training bag geared towards teaching one or two people. 🙂
See You Out There In The World!

Thank you for the review.
I’m currently working on designing a bag for our kali eskrima trainings. But the ‘kali gear’ bags seems already very well designed, so I was on the verge of ordering one myself.
As you wrote, it seems perfect for a class, or going to a seminar. But now none of their bags are fitted for carrying both sticks, knives and protections like helmet and hockey gloves for sparring. That’s a pity.
You should design your own bag. Lots of potential customers in that market!
