This is a great book detailing opinions and combat techniques by master practitioners in Balintawak Eskrima, kali Ilustrisimo, Lameco Eskrima, Lightning Scientific Arnis, Modern Arnis and San Miguel Eskrima. In addition to the featured styles and their respective masters are interesting PICTURES! The book contains a lot of technique sequences using empty hands, live blade, knife, single and double stick, and stick and dagger. I can only imagine how long it took for Master Rey to put this book together.

Although I have not personally met Master Rey Galang, I have met and trained with some of the masters in his book and was excited to read about them. Since my purchase of "Warrior Arts," I regularly reread my favorite selections. I found a couple of photos repeated within certain sections, but who cares? To a certain degree, I think the content preserves the legacy and unique history of each style. "Warrior Arts" shows readers that authentic Filipino martial arts is more than just twirling sticks.
