Early Review of New Modern Arnis Book!

[Dan Anderson]

Hi All,

I thought I'd share with you an early review of the upcoming Modern Arnis book. It will be up on my website for purchase in 5 days.

MODERN ARNIS: The Art Within Your Art - The Book Of Basics is the fifth book in the “Modern Arnis encyclopedia” series and is the most comprehensive book ever to be written on the fundamentals of Modern Arnis. No other book has detailed the origins of Modern Arnis as developed by Grand Master Remy Presas. With over 200 pages and 1,100 photos, this book covers such topics as: striking, basic defense, stances & body shifting, flow exercises, cane anyos (forms) 1-4, classical arnis styles, and much, much more.

"I have known Professor Anderson for almost 4 years now and have been training with him off and on for the same amount of time. From day one, his insight into the art of Modern Arnis has always impressed me; it's almost like being around Professor Presas himself. I had the pleasure of helping him with his first couple books on the subject and was excited when I received a copy of his new one in the mail the other day. What can I say… WOW!!!

The first four books Dan has produced have been top notch and get better by the volume. The Art Within Your Art continues this flow and is by far the best of the bunch. Even though Anderson calls this The Book of Basics, the way the information is presented though words and images makes me feel like I'm reading a book for grandmasters.

There are so many cool things about this book I would love to share, but I will only share one; you will have to buy the book to get the others. One of the things that make this book special is Appendix B. Professor Anderson has included a copy of 15 pages from his own handwritten notes taken when he was training with Professor Presas. You will not find that in any other martial arts book.

I suggest adding this book to your library, no matter what level of training you are at. There is something for everyone."

Modern Arnis Book now released

Hi All,

I want to announce the release of the newest Modern Arnis book, "Modern Arnis The Art Within Your Art - The Book Of Basics." This book covers the history of Prof. Remy A. Presas' training beginning with his family art onward. It has over 200 pages and over 1,100 photos for full illustration. Below are a couple of early reviews of this book.

"Sorry for the delay. I was working on the Abaniko project and then had to find time to read this killer book! Prof Dan did a great job.. The book is as usual awesomely done. I love the excerpts from others quotes from interviews. The background of Professor Presas comes to life, the background of Modern Arnis comes forward..

And as usual, Dan has a great way of showing comparisons and ways to do things and where he's figured out a concept. Prof Presas' technique to illustrate the concept is shown and then the concept behind it. Dan then proceeds to show how impact compares to cutting edge..

Here's another worthwhile addition to your library. Dan's books are a fine tribute to honor the art that Prof Presas invented-founded. They show the loyalty and concern Dan has for the art, toward preserving the art and understanding the art so that others can learn it."

CONGRATS my friend..
be safe
