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.

Finally Somethiing New in the Martial Arts:

It was a late friday night when I picked this book up off the front porch. All I wanted was a hot shower and to go to bed. That didn't happen because I started browsing through this book. Before I knew it, it was much later and I was still going over the photos sequences. This is the freshest breath of air I have had in the martial arts in a long time! From the author's dedication to the closing pages it is the passionate writing of a man who understands what warriorship is all about. It is a terrfic... more info

An Excellent Introduction to the Core Concepts of the Tribal Arts of the Filipino Combat Systems:

Filipino Combat Systems (FCS) by Mark Edward Cody begins with a preface written by Guro Ray Dionaldo where he describes FCS as a "Tribal Art" as opposed to a martial art or martial science. He explains that "tribal arts" have the mindset that they are training family members, and lack the political hierarchy found in more traditional "martial arts".
The core text of Filipino Combat Systems offers a great deal of information for warriors, written by someone who obviously as a true warrior's mindset. The... more info
