Hi Guys Master Rey Galang of Bakbakan International is about to release a new book entitled Warrior Arts of the Philippines. The book covers indepth articles, interviews, insights and technical information on six major systems of FMA. It covers Balintawak Eskrima, Kali lustrisimo, Lightning Scientific Arnis, Modern Arnis, Lameco Eskrima ans San Miguel Eskrima. You can find details, including teaser pages on the Bakbakan website at www.bakbakan.com Yours in FMA Peter Lewis www.yuli-romo.com www.romo-ilustrisimo.co.uk
Sample banner pages including photos are available for viewing on www.bakbakan.com Just click your way through and a PDF file will come up. BTW...my understanding is that this will only be the first of several volumes. Subsequent volumes will cover several systems at a time. What's Peter! Yours in the Arts, John G. Jacobo www.swacom.com
I have recently received my copy of this new book by Master Rey Galang, and it really is filled with depth and quality. The book not only gives an insight, and pays respect to, the founder's of six prominent systems, but it also continues by giving insights into the lives and skills of the senior instructors who continue the legacy of their mentors. There are literally hundreds of photos of these highly respected Masters and Grandmasters in action. The book uniquely gives students of these legends the opportunity to give respectful insights into their instructors. Congratulations to Master Rey on yet another excellent source of reference on the Filipino Martial Arts. Best regards Peter www.yuli-romo.com
