Craig, to the best of my recollection the only recorded account of the battle was by Pigafetta in his chronicle of the circumnavigation. I know the Filipinos...
Just for the record, there is no word "kali" in Visayan (aka Bisayan or Cebuano), nor in Waray Waray, Hilayganon, Tagalog, Ilocano , Pampangan, Bicolano or...
With all their variants there must be a hundred different Filipino martial arts out there today, and with such a current variety out there I think it is...
This is a quote taken from a paper written by my instructor Prof. Ron Harris. It has to do with the possible etymologies of these different terms. "Armed...
I actually belive that the term "Kali' can be attributed directly to Dan Innosanto of Bruce Lee movies fame. There is a fair amount of 'controversy' if you...

Hi Craig: Problem with 'Recorded accounts' when it comes to the history of the world is sometimes western researchers can get too influenced and habitual in...
hmmm, I'm not sure what just happened. I posted a reply to Craig, but what happened was a repeat of one of my older posts. Here goes again. Hi Craig: Problem...
Fechterspiel! We at VAF used the fechtbuch and the fechterspiel extensively. In fact my coach is Bill Grandy who did the review of the prototypes so it's...

The fechtbuch sword handles beautifully, don't get me wrong. The biggest problem with the fechbuch design in general is getting a blunted piece of metal to...

Craig, there very well could be but I have not come across any. If they are then they would be written by the Americans from 1899 or so or the Spanish and...
