The (extremely brief) origin of arnis that I described was told to me by tuhon Leo Gaje, jr., head of the Pekiti-Tersia style of arnis. It’s possible that it isn’t completely accurate; the origins of the Filipino arts is a topic that is often debated by practitioners of those arts.

But it does make sense since the Philippines were part of the Majapahit Empire which was often exploited by Chinese traders and pirates.

Comment on Martial Mechanics Reviewed by Lawrence Kane on Iain Abernethy’s Site by troyrand

If you practice martial arts, then this book is for you. It’s laid out in an easy to read format and really gets to the heart of body movements and production of power.

The best thing about this book is it’s not style specific, If you’re a human, then the principles outlined in martial mechanics will apply to you. Not only does Mr. Starr explain how to produce more power in your techniques, but he also gives the reader several tests to prove that the principles hold true.
