by: Antonio Diego, Christopher Ricketts


Editorial Review:

Kalis Ilustrisimo is famous for its fighting techniques, which were honed in the duelling cultures of Cebu and the docks of Manila by Antonio 'Tatang' Ilustrisimo. Ilustrisimo's fighting art, which combines many of the indigenous and Muslim sword techniques of pre-Hispanic times with modern teaching methods, has influenced or given rise to many other fighting arts practised the world over. This is the first book to deal with the techniques and theories of this system of personal combat.

Just a peek:

A good book that gives a peek into the Kalis Ilustrisimo system. It would be impossible to show the finesse and level of efficiency and effectiveness of this system other than experiencing it under a qualified instructor. The level of development of this Art is impossible to capture in still photography, the finer (and most important) aspects are literally "lost in print".

Forget the politics:

Previous reviewers have engaged in somewhat of "who's dady is the strongest" discussion, but that has nothing to say about this book.

I've Studied The Villabrille-Largusa Kali Style for 15 years:

This is an interesting book. As Grandmaster Ben Largusa taught me long ago, all of the styles from the Philippines have something worthwhile to offer. I have also read Mark Wiley's books. Quoting older Filipino practitioners and passing it off as scholarly research is a dubious practice at best. It is ironic that most of the people who comment on the late Grandmaster Villabrille have never met, talked to, nor practiced under him or his disciples. I have trained with Grandmaster Ben Largusa, Professor Greg... more info

mistaken review by that Hawaiian guy:

The book is OK as an introductory overview. The first guy who made a review was mistaken because despite all the videos and books circulated by authentic arnis/eskrima masters, they were never meant to impart more than a little peek into the art. For sure, they never meant to teach through books or videos, hence don't be surprised if this book is just 200 or so pages.
It's true that the Kalis Ilustrisimo masters learned by watching and videotaping Tatang Ilustrisimo. Most westerners like the first guy... more info
