5.0 out of 5 stars for those interested in stick and knife, this is it!, October 1, 1998

This review is from: Pananandata Yantok At Daga: Filipino Stick And Dagger (Paperback)

Amante Marinas is an amazing martial artists. He is the most published fillipino martial artist, and reading this book will tell you why. Master Marinas is clear and to the point. He does not waste any time teaching or showing "pretty" moves. Just as "PO" says, "I teach my student things that they would use for a free fight." A MUST READ!!!

This review is from: Pananandata Yantok At Daga: Filipino Stick And Dagger (Paperback)

Dieses Buch hätte endlich eine Überarbeitung nötig. Das Bildmaterial genügt keineswegs den heutigen Standards.
Wer dieses Werk kauft, sollte über einige Kenntnisse in der Materie verfügen. Für Anfänger ist es unzureichend und Profis werden wenig Nutzen hiervon haben.

This review is from: Pananandata Yantok At Daga: Filipino Stick And Dagger (Paperback)

this book is alright...besides the Old skool Flashdance bandanas and x-tra small t-shirts, black and white photos, it's okey doky. for the price and info I recommend it for those who wanna see the author's take on stick and dagger. I still personally like the Presas style or Rey Galang style or better yet Gaje style...but if you wanna ok primer this is it...just don't expect too much.
The only real advantage I saw in this book is the author is really small and he always talks about size advantage and disadvantage...being of short height myself, I can see where these weapons are to my advantage and also he talks about strategy and encountering larger opponents.

My Verdict: Great for beginners, ok for intermediate, and for the pros...good material to teach to students. Good for short people like me. hehe

IF you really wanna good book on ESPADA Y DAGA check out Rey Galang's Classic Arnis...I just got my copy and I'd have to say it's the best Arnis book in my possesion.
