| Sinawali-meaning
"woven"- is an intricate and devastating Filipino
Fighting System with ancient roots, perfectly suited
to modern times, and its popularity is booming around the
world. This fascinating stick and blade empty-hand defense
employs a sinuous, polyrhythmic interweaving of leg and arm
defenses and attacks, presenting a virtually impenetrable
shield against potential attackers. Martial arts instructor
Reynaldo S. Galang reveals the special hand techniques, the
exact, quick footwork, and the working theory behind the art
of Sinawali, through instructional text and clear
photographs. Whether readers are interested in Sinawali
for exercise, hobby, or as a means of self-defense, Complete
Sinawali is their definitive guide.

I have had the privilege of being one of Master
Rey Galang's students for over a year now. We cover many different
forms and styles, and sometimes it's hard to remember the
exact techniques after class has ended. This book has been
very helpful in perfecting my form, and reinforcing my knowledge
while training on my own. It clearly demonstrates the techniques
that make up this advanced form, and although I do not recommend
it for beginners as one cannot truly understand sinawali without
being taught in person, it is a very good aid for those familiar
with Filipino Martial Arts and who are interested in seeing
some of the things we do at Bakbakan.
