Middle Ages as a period of high achievement of this synthesis. It

force in the creation of vernacular church architecture, using a

The indigenous martial arts of the Philippines archipelago are
known by a variety of names including Arnis, Arnis de Mano, Eskrima
or Escrima, and are widely respected for the development of
combat-effective defensive strategies and skills. The Filipino

training methods to augment the journey towards achieving advance
abilities in defending against weapons-based or empty-hand
encounters. Supplemented by over 320 colour photographs, this
exciting book explores the fundamental, intermediate and advanced
techniques of double and single stick categories that are standard
across many systems of the Filipino martial arts.
