RE: Krabi Krabong & Suwanda book (McTaggart, Ryan P) --__--__-- Message: 1 From: "Eskrima de Campo JDC-IO U.S.A." To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Date: Thu, 12 Apr 2007 20:54:49 -0700 Subject: [Eskrima] New book coming out Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net I am very excited to announce that a book called “CEBUANO ESKRIMA: Beyond the myth” written by Ned R. Nepangue, M.D. and Celestino C. Macachor.  Here is a brief synopsis:   * Cebuano Eskrima:  Beyond the Myth boldly unravels with compelling and provocative hypothesis on the Hispanic origins of the Filipino Martial Arts known as eskrima, arnis and estokada * The last vestiges of the extinct European medieval fencing could be found indirectly linked to Filipino eskrima * The authors present prima facie evidence on the fraud of the supposedly precursor art called kali * A more plausible theory on the origins of eskrima are presented in startling detail from its early beginnings as a defense against Moro pirates and slave traders and its later fusion with Spanish fencing through the Jesuit warrior priests during the pivotal years 1635-1644, the height of Spanish rapier fencing in Europe during the Renaissance * It also presents a comprehensive chronology on the development of eskrima in Cebu,  a meticulous commentary of Cebuano pioneers and innovators of eskrima and elucidates the pre-eminence of Visayans in the art of eskrima / arnis / estokada * As both authors are practitioners of this martial art, technicalities in eskrima never before detailed in other materials on the subject are carefully discussed in the book * Other interesting topics related to eskrima like the esoteric practices and healing modalities are also explained in fascinating detail.  If you are interested feel free to email me at decampousa@hotmail.com and will send the details to you. Thank you. Respectfully,Jason AutajayLos Angeles Chapter, United States Eskrima De Campo JDC-IOwww.EskrimaDeCampo.com   ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Can’t afford to quit your job? – Earn your AS, BS, or MS degree online in 1 year. --__--__-- Message: 2 To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Date: Fri, 13 Apr 2007 11:07:57 -0400 From: sidney525@aol.com Subject: [Eskrima] Krabi Krabong & Suwanda book Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net There was a couple of books that came out recently and I was wondering if anyone had any reviews or opinions on them.

I really found it to be an enjoyable read, but in all fairness the editing job is very poor. The book contains many grammatical errors and often the photographs referenced in the text do not match the corresponding pictures. In my opinion the book is still a good read, and can help anyone interested in Silat (specifically Mande Muda) gain more insight into the arts origins and development.
