Review of the book Arnis de Mano: Harness of the Hand, by Abundio S. Baet, copyright 2010.

 

This book was written to describe the history, philosophy, and techniques of the Filipino fighting arts from the province of Laguna.  The author has been training since he was six in the arts of his family, which go back more than five generations.  In addition, he has studied under ten other maestros from around Laguna.  From the age of 16, until he was forced to stop at 23, he was an undefeated stickfighting champion in Laguna.  In this book he relates what he has been taught by those maestros.

 

   In My Humble Opinion, the newest frontier we all face is Technology.  Advances in Science & Technology is astounding.

This book was written to explain the history and practice of the moro-moro (a socio-religious play in the Philippines containing mock battles), and its connection to the Filipino martial arts. The author is a lifelong practitioner of the Filipino martial arts, and has played in the moro-moro in the province of Laguna. He also comes from a family of martial artists and moro-moro players going back at least five generations. It is from that perspective that he writes about the moro-moro.
