Mano y Mano: The Weaponless Fighting Applications Of Modern Arnis. This is the first book ever to be written on the translations of Modern Arnis stick actions to the empty hand. No other book has addressed only the empty hand. With over 1,200 photos and 130 pages, this book covers such topics as: basic offensive and defensive moves and their stick origins, empty hand drills, throwing, empty hand disarming as well as all 8 empty hand forms (anyos) and their breakdown applications.
I would like to thank the following for their contributions of personal forwards:
Master Bram Frank, Datu Shishir Inocalla, Senior Master Roland Dantes, Datu Dieter Knuettel, Dr. Randi Schea, Dr. Jerome Barber, Guro Tim Kashino, Guro Rich Parsons and Sensei Jaye Spiro. These are personal contributions and do not reperesent organizational endorsements. Below are brief exerpts from each.
Yours,
Dan Anderson
Master Bram Frank - This book fills in the gaps of his other books on Modern Arnis and the martial arts! If you ever wondered how Modern Arnis or Filipino Arts translates into empty hand, well this is the book for you.
Datu Shishir Inocalla - There are not too many authors of Filipino Martial arts empty hand techniques. I am glad that a Master Instructor and a martial arts champion such as Master Dan Anderson has taken this step to write "Mano y Mano - The Weaponless Fighting Applications Modern Arnis".
Datu Dieter Kuettel - In this book he will introduce you into the fascinating world of empty hand techniques of Modern Arnis. Read it carefully and you will pick up valuable information for your training that will enhance your style in the study of Modern Arnis, other Arnis/Kali/Eskrima styles, or even if you´re totally new to the FMA.
Senior Master Roland Dantes - CONGRATULATIONS!
This new book of yours will be another tribute to the legacy of the Philippine Martial Arts. More Power to You!
Dr. Randi Schea - Master Dan Anderson has undertaken the formidable task of trying to efficiently distill some of the key fighting principles that Professor shared with all of us in Mano Y Mano. Dan has organized the principles in a systematic manner similar to his previous books, yet without having to resort to rigid and inflexible doctrines that would be completely contradictory to Professor’s Art and his teaching style.
Dr. Jerome Barber - This book on Mano y Mano or the Empty Hand Art of Modern Arnis, is long overdue.
Guro Rich Parsons - Dan’s previous books in Karate and Modern Arnis have done an excellent job of doing this and there should be no less expectation with this one.
Sensei Jaye Spiro - In Mano Y Mano as in his other books, Professor Anderson uses an informal, conversational style. The reader is included in his investigation of Arnis empty hand techniques. Professor Anderson thoroughly examines these striking, blocking, checking systems, and sharing his discoveries and analysis with the reader. Anderson comes across as an enthusiastic, down to earth coach, whose goal is to share it all with the reader.
Guro Tim Kashino - This book is a welcome addition to my training library, as are the previous two. Books like these are few and far between. I believe that the Professor would have been very proud of Dan’s efforts in the art.
