The North American Legacy of Remy Presas: The Complete Modern Arnis Empty Hand Anyos - Execution & Applications

For some time now, Prof Dan Anderson's martial arts books and DVD's have been the standard in the industry to which other authors (should) aspire. They are clear, concise, and complete. This hefty tome continues that unbroken streak.Weighing in at 564 pages, this book contains all 8 empty-hand Anyos, or forms, from Modern Arnis along with a dozen or so applications from each sequence. It begins with some history and theory and then dives right in to the meat of the subject. Each Anyo is demonstrated and then broken down into sequences and their applications. The applications are clear and easy to follow, making this book an exemplar for those seeking to widen their knowledge of this art through self-study. The author's encyclopedic knowledge of the subject matter shines through on every page.I've been studying one martial art or another since 1968 and can only wish that this kind of material was available in those days. If you are involved in the Filipino Martial Arts or, really, any martial art, you owe it to yourself to read this book.There's a reason they call him Super Dan.
