This book is one of the first book that ever came out covering one of many `styles` of the Filipino Martial Arts. And I`m sure one of the first, if not, the first book anyone owned regarding this Asian art. The book is basic and easy to follow
which is great for beginners. The book is written by a well known and well travelled man that goes by to many "Professor" Remy Presas. The book covers some single, double stick and de cadena basic drills. While this book is good for what it is, the Professor
is due in my opinion for a third more advanced book. All in all a good starter.
