4.0 out of 5 stars A good introduction., Dec 10 2002
By 
J. Richmond "MaxII" (Richmond, IN) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Secrets Of Giron Arnis Escrima (Paperback)
I really liked this book. I know it was not as deep in technique and theory as many would have liked, but for the price it is a great introduction. I would like to see a more in-depth version, akin to Jun Fan/Jeet Kune Do the text book, or something as nice as either of the new Gracie Books. I am still waiting for the Filipino book that gives real grasp to the newbie, but still has a lot for the experienced player. In short I am looking for some thing with the thought and grace of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Theory and PRactice, or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Self-Defense, or maybe a book as comprehensive in its coverage as is Simco's Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: The Master Text.
Never the less it is still good to see old Giron, moving around and swinging a stick.
Nice job.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fine book to support escrima-students, Jan 19 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Secrets Of Giron Arnis Escrima (Paperback)
I`ve bougth this book in order to support my own escrima training. As a rookie in escrima, it gives you the basic understandings in the escrima-fighting art of Grand Master Leo Giron. I think it`s not written with the intention to replace training under a qualified teacher. In my view it supports your training as a beginner in the art. What's more, it gives you a good overview including the origins. Escrima has to be practised to be learned.

2.0 out of 5 stars General and shallow overview, Dec 1 1998
This review is from: Secrets Of Giron Arnis Escrima (Paperback)
This book is bad for beginner and practically useless for a master. There is no comprehensive description of training complexes, footwork drills and other important details, which were completely omitted. It gives just an overview of the system in general, so the reader can have some vague feeling of what Giron escrima is.
