Covering the fundamentals of the principles, supporting structures, and grip release concepts, an understanding is established. Further it continues on the different modes of disarming and follows by examples of some of the best of the best practitioners demonstrating disarming. Concise and to the point this book will settle the myth that disarming is nothing but fancy moves, and puts it in the perspective that it is knowledge, skill and common sense. If you haven’t got this book yet it is a must. This is the book to have in your personal library.”

“Wiley has collected interesting photo sequences of several well-known Filipino martial arts masters demonstrating the disarms they teach in their style. As many of these prominent teachers are now deceased, this is, indeed, an important and valuable resource for people interested in the many varieties of Filipino martial arts styles. Many would argue that this alone is worth the price of the book.”
