Traditionally, the Bagobo fought to avenge the death of a relative, to obtain wealth and slaves or to become a designated "Magani", a distinction obtained by those who had killed two or more enemies. In battles against other towns, they fought with the shields jumping in the way of a dance to incite adversaries
