Filipino Combat Systems: An Introduction to An Ancient Art For Modern Times
by: Mark Edward Cody


Editorial Review:

Filipino Combat Systems chronicles the creation, evolution and core concepts of one of the fastest growing martial arts in the world. It overcomes the shortcomings inherent in martial art instruction manuals by focusing not on technique, but on the strategy and philosophy of movement behind the technique. Written by a first generation student under the authority and supervision of the system's Founder and Grand Master, this work is an excellent introduction to the system. FCS is one of the most practical combat oriented martial systems in existence, bridging the gap between the ancient fighting arts and the modern world.

Very good Amazon reaction!:

I`m very glad from the Amazon`s team reaction for my problem - I didn`t receive my book from the first order may be because lost in transffer.
When I informed Amazon for my problem they immediately reacted giving me a refund and putting second order for the same book, so finally I received it a week earlier they told me!
Thanks a lot for all your efforts for the customer and wish you less problems and more happy clients!

FCS:

Overall the philosophy is sound and well presented. I do feel more comprehensive flow drills should have been included; but other than that, the book was excellent & very informative! FCS is an ever evolving system that truly brings the art of the warrior into the 21st century!

Do not buy if you hope to learn:

It has concepts yes but other than that it doesnt have much.
It is not a book for those looking to learn the art.
It does not contain flows or drills.

missed potential:

When I ordred this book, I expected lot more after seeing the contents in the preview. First of all, I do not like Ray Dionaldo being signed as a co-author...I mean being interviewed in the book does not exactly make one an author, even if the book is on the system he has created.
Now, the principles and concepts featured are very well chosen nad valuable, but the presentation could have been much better. I mean, the "fortune cookie" type advice gets kinda irritating after a while, no matter the... more info
