Balintawak Arnis's development started with the leading ever Filipino Stick Fighting Club in the Philippines - the Labangon Fencing Club. The Labangon Fencing Association, the most seasoned recorded Philippine Martial Arts relationship of its sort in the nation, was coordinated by Lorenzo Saavedra in Labangon, Cebu in 1920.The Labangon Association assumed a significant part in spreading and creating Eskrima in the Philippines and the world when all is said in done. Initially, the 'Labangon Fencing Club' was one of the first principal Escrima schools in Cebu during the 1920s.The family Saavedra, particularly Lorenzo alongside his nephews, Frederico and Teodoro Saavedra, and their more established siblings were the significant power and impact of the affiliation. Anciong was an understudy of Saavedra and was a dear companion also.During the Second World War, the Saavedra's were everything except killed by the Japanese. Following the war, the Escrima school was the exact opposite thing the leftover Saavedra's could even consider. Anciong, a teacher of Saavedra's old fashioned, chose to begin his club. Anciong instructed and kept up the sober and old methods he learned as an understudy.

Eskrima stick fighting is indigenous to the Philippines and in the 1950s one of the most popular styles emerged: Balintawak. To appreciate Anciong Bacon's Balintawak Eskrima, you have to understand set-ups, anticipation, the art of outwitting through ruses and lures; economy and simplification of motion, sans lavish and squandered movements; effective strikes fused and bonded with speed, power, elegance and grace. That is the essence of Anciong's Balintawak and these are the methods Sam Buot explains and demonstrates in this book. Written from the author's half-century of personal experience and hard-earned knowledge, Balintawak Eskrima presents the art from origin to modern times, as a fighting art, as cultural tradition and a means of personal development. Illustrated with nearly 700 historical and instructional photographs, this book is a must-have for all martial artists and those interested in the history of a people and their fight art.

The most popular form of indigenous self-defense in the Philippines continues to be Balintawak eskrimaand for good reason. The martial art was created by Anciong Bacon, and he taught the fighting technique to Ted Buot. In this guidebook, author Rad Maningas shares what he learned while training with Buot from 1979 to 2006. During those sessions, no other students were present, and the author learned the tradition, techniques, and history of Balintawak. Now he passes down those teachings to other students and aspiring students so that they can appreciate and use this simple-looking, beautiful, and effective form of self-defense. Buot taught the technique just as it was taught to him by Anciong, which is believed by many to be the purist line of Balintawak. The style differs from other forms of eskrima in key ways, including relying on the left hand to lead. Whether you are a beginner or advanced eskrimador, this guidebook will help improve your eskrima and take it to another level.

The book features a twofold, interrelated focus. First, it looks at the unique Filipino culture; how it was greatly influenced by Spanish colonization, the oppression it suffered under foreign rule, and how the native yearning for freedom led to the development of the martial art of arnis. The book then presents the distinct technical aspects and resultant physical manifestation of the indigenous fighting art. Centering upon the Kombatan method forged by Grandmaster Ernesto Amador Presas Sr., it describes numerous maneuvers utilizing stick, blade, and empty hand components, and offers information on their myriad practical applications. This volume is unique in that it is one of but a few composed by a native-born and bred Filipino author, one who absorbed lesson in the Philippines, directly under the guidance of an established system’s founder. The book seeks to present arnis in a proper light, as a simple and pragmatic method of self-protection, while debunking the more fanciful theories and concepts that have crept in as it makes its way into world consciousness.
