Just skimmed it, but I was disappointed in the content.
Some good photos of Remy Presas in the Kelly Worden article (which I haven't read yet...can't comment on it!), also one of Pappy Geo.

Most of the FMA magazine articles over the last couple of years have been rehashed from other magazine articles, or recent book releases. Not too much new stuff out there... Personally, I would like to see more stuff on some of the more obscure styles like Pambuan, or Pekiti staffwork, or hands, or Garmot Hawimaw buno, or Tanny campo's street pangamut. It just gets ya bummed, that ya wait all year for a good mag to come out and ya already read it!
darn! oh well....

ssowwy for my speech impediment on the hawimaw

Actually, Harimaw (tagalog spelling/ twist on the indonesian style?) i am wondering if anyone has any experience with this? what are the technical concepts? what is the structure as far as how it fits, or compliemnts the weapons aspect? do you find it effective? training methods?

Salamat, and mahalo!
