Sonny Umpad and street defense

[bewater]

Dear ALl,

Please can I ask if anyone knows of Sonny Umpad, I have met him previously through Jesse Glover and I was wondering if Sonny has any material available, whether it be book or video.

Also, as I am more in tune with unarmed street defense, I was also wondering if anyone can give recommendations for books, videos or teachers that they personally rate on this subject.

I look forward to you replies.

Many thanks,

bewater ..

I attended a seminar with Sonny this past January.It was for Stick and Knife techniques.He is a quiet ,soft spoken gentleman.But I wouldn't mess with him.LOL.He wrote a book years ago.I believe the coauthor was Sid Campbell.I think it is still available from Pallidan Press.

Hi Mickey,

The book in question is "Balisong: The Lethal Art of Filipino Knife Fighting", authored by Sid Campbell, Gary Cagaanan and Sonny Umpad. And yes, it is still available from Paladin.
