5 out of 5 - October 4, 2004
This book is very helpful in that you get a
deep understanding of the fascinating history of where the
Cabales Serrada System comes from. You also get step-by-step
outlines of many Serrada applications, which only gets better
when you have a solid base knowledge of Escrima in general,
and Serrada in particular. Mark Wiley brings Cabales Serrada
into a new light with this book. The negative press? "Shine
it"... you read the book for yourself, and you'll see
for yourself! I myself study Serrada Escrima- actually mostly
Inayan, from my uncle Mike who learned from my great-uncle
Ray Subega, an early student of Inay's. The way I see it,
the proof is in the pudding. Wiley has his diploma, who else
here can boast that? I agree with Art Miraflor, it is a very
GREAT book! Great job Wiley! I also read Wiley's Arnis book,
and five stars on that one, too! For those who love to just
soak it all in, this book has it! Wiley went to the farthest
jungles of the Philippines to get instruction as well as mass
info for that project, and well worth the price. I can't wait
to read his other books on Filipino Martial Arts!!!
