Sungay Sungay (Deer's Horn) is a handy, yet deadly, weapon used by Tat Kon Tou practitioners during the Martial Law days in the Philippines. A key chain attached with the Sungay making it appear as a key holder was the practitioners way of concealing it from its real purpose. It was a handy, yet deadly weapon against common knife attacks. Many "parasites" were thriving to victimize students and workers on their way home during those days; and people were having a hard time to detect attackers ("parasites") pretending to be bystanders from the real bystanders. Hence were the honing days of the Sungay before it outlived its usefulness. Today, the people who have worked to develop the art of Sungay (self-defense with the use of a deer's horn) have spread the art in many different parts of the world---though carrying no longer the banner and name of Tat Kon Tou. Wherever they may be---either in their own schools that they put up or at their respective backyards as they continue honing the art---they are all brothers under the ingenuity of the founder and grand master, Jose Go Milan (Joe Go). Though Sungay as a weapon has outlived it usefulness in public places, the art and practice of Sungay still remains to be a handy, effective, and deadly self-defense in any place and time.
