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.

Disorganized and poorly-presented:
I've posted a detailed review of the book at[...]. In summary, though, the book is disorganized and presented in an amateurish manner. There's some good information in there, but it's too scattered to be useful for a novice and too shallow for an expert. Not recommended.
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! I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning the *core* concepts too weapons/empty-hand combat.
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.
