I have only seen Balintawak through videos. I noticed that the Balintawak system specializes in close range. However, I wonder why the sticks are standard 28 inches in length. Why doesn't Balintawak make use of the range with the stick? With a weapon that long, couldn't one use the stick at long-range more often.

Also, if Balintawak is a close-range system, shouldn't the weapons and sticks be smaller?

I'm sorry if this is a silly question to some but I am sincerely interested in finding an answer. Thank you.
