The Bernas Estocadas system of Eskrima is a comprehensive Filipino Martial Art incorporating stick, blade, and empty hand fighting. It was developed by Grand Master William ‘Boy’ Bernas, drawing on the practical Wido traditions taught to him by his Grandfather Ciriaco Canillo, and Uncle Alfonso Brinquist, a famous Negrosanon Bastonero; and the formal Eskrima traning he experienced in the Navales Arnis Clinic. This book, written by Master Robert Parkes, aims to capture the tactical principles of the Grand Master’s art, and stays focused at a conceptual level on: when to prioritise defence; the optimal range for each defensive tactic; the combative significance of counter-offensive timing; and methods of direct and indirect attack. It will be of value to those: with an interest in Eskrima strategy and tactics; wanting to know more about Negrosanon systems of Eskrima; or already training in Bernas Estocadas.
