At 79, Sam is now retired and teaches eskrima\u00a0in his backyard in Phoenix, Arizona<\/p>\n

In early 2014, Tambuli Media teamed up with Sam to publish his book, Balintawak Eskrima<\/a><\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0Stick fighting is indigenous to the Philippines and in the 1950s one of the most popular styles emerged: Balintawak.\u00a0To appreciate Anciong Bacon\u2019s Balintawak Eskrima, you have to understand set-ups, anticipation, the art of outwitting through ruses and lures; economy and simplification of motion, sans lavish and squandered movements; effective strikes fused and bonded with speed, power, elegance and grace. That is the essence of Anciong\u2019s Balintawak and these are the methods Sam Buot explains and demonstrates in this book<\/a>.\u00a0Here is what GM Bobby Taboada, Steven Dowd of FMA Informative<\/em> and Mark Wiley have to say about Manong Buot and his book.<\/p>\n

\"Sam<\/a>\u201cThis book is a treasure\u00a0trove of knowledge and a book which will be\u00a0considered\u00a0<\/strong>one of the best, if not the best, book\u00a0on Balintawak.\u201d<\/strong>
\n\u2014GM Steve K. Dowd, FMA Informative<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cSam Buot\u2019s techniques and knowledge are direct from the masters.\u00a0<\/strong>If there is anyone who can teach them to the world, it is Atty. Sam Buot.\u201d<\/strong>
\n\u2014GM Bobby Taboada<\/p>\n

\u201cSam Buot takes the reader on a journey into the belly of Balintawak Eskrima. His\u00a0narrative\u00a0style\u00a0is honest and compelling.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>\u2014Dr. Mark V. Wiley<\/p>\n

Written from the author\u2019s half-century of personal experience and hard-earned knowledge,\u00a0Balintawak Eskrima<\/a><\/strong><\/em>\u00a0presents the art from origin to modern times, as a fighting art, as cultural tradition and a means of personal development. Included are personal histories, experiences and photos of the legendary masters of the art, including Anciong Bacon, Jose Villasin, Teofilo Velez, Ted Buot, Bobby Taboada, Timoteo Maranga, Nick Elizar, Nene Gaabucayan, \u00a0Jimboy Hife, and many others.
