Hi!

A friend of mine is looking for an old book.  It's name is "Karunungan sa Larong Arnis", and was written by someone by the name of "Cruz".  It is supposedly the first book ever published on arnis.

Any leads on locating a copy of this book would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Dave,

I have the book sitting right in front of me! Fowarded by G. Luis Cruz By Placido Yambao with himself and Buenaventura Mirafuente in the photo's. It was released in 1957, 86 pages, 96 photo's.
It's all in Tagalog, My teacher, Master Rey Galang of Bakbakan gave me a photo copy of the book the original one is falling apart! I believe he may be translating it into english in the future.
If your still interested in the Tagalog copy let me know.

Hey Dave,

Maybe your friend is looking for Placido Yambao's book "Mga Karunungan Sa Larong Arnis". If so, this is hard to get since the book is out of print for how many years.

Wileen & Rommel,

I think we're talking about the same book.

Wileen,

I don't know if my friend knows the book is in Tagalog, so I'll check and see if he still wants a copy. I'll let you.

Thanks!

Dave.
 
Dave and everyone,

The Arnis book is avalible through Tuttle Pulishing, ENGLISH VERSION!

From what I last heard they have it on hold and not yet released, we will need to start requesting the book to get them going!

I supposedly have a copy on hold for months..ever since I was told that TUTTLE was doing the translation..OK Rey's really doing it!...
every time I call they say its indefinate hold..sometimes Tuttle themselves can't locate the book in the files..
Gee Wileen..I'd LOVE a copy..Felipe Jose's mom in the Phillipinnes has a copy for her son and me but so far we haven't actually seen one....
Can I sweet talk you out of a photo copy of the book????hmmmmmm can I bribe you?..
