WARNING: This book is a self-defense manual. The moves are inherently very dangerous and can cause serious harm, or even death. Practice with caution, always keeping in mind the safety of both parties. Start slow and practice with correct form until you can build up speed and accuracy. Check with your personal physician if you are physically able to perform fast and strenuous activity.
This is a study manual with technical moves requiring visualization and imagination. A personal instruction by a qualified Balintawak instructor is the preferred way to learn this art. Mass production of students leads to half-baked students. In the old school, there were no graduation ceremonies. You were and are always a lifetime student of the art – ever learning, ever innovating. There were no belts or certificates to prove proficiency. You were only as good as your last fight.
