The stages in making a Malaysian fighting kite:
1. raw bamboo whole unsplit stalk (2 sections)
2. split into pieces
3. 2 pieces required. Whittle one piece into shape (part of a circle) and the other into the vertical backbone (strong but not too heavy)
4. tie the frame, (refer photo)
5. stick on the rice paper (or thin plastic) with sticky tape or glue
6. add teraju loop (most critical part)
7. control (kerotok and side manuvour)
8. trouble shooting
9. glassed lines (fighting technics)

You will also need the following items:
Swiss army knives (or any sharp pen knives will do), marker pen, measuring tape, scissors, cellophane tapes, rice paper or large plastic bags, box cutter, cutting mat, teraju lines, fishing hand reel, No:8 line or stronger (crochete) sand paper.
I will need to divide the lessons into 2 parts: theory and practical to cover the reasons why a kite flies, aerodynamics, balance, weight, optimum line size for fighting kites, reels etc
