About this ebook
Complete Sinawali is the definitive guide to the intricate and highly-refined Filipino martial art of double-weapon fighting.
The warriors of the Philippines have long been respected as fierce, courageous, and effective fighters, and the martial art of Sinawali has developed multiple-weapon fighting to an exceptionally high degree of sophistication. Preserved in Filipino dance as well as martial form, Sinawali employs sinuous, polyrhythmic movements, creating an almost impenetrable shield against attack.
In Complete Sinawali, Filipino martial artist Reynaldo Galang details the theory behind the forms and presents an orderly progression of drills designed to teach ambidexterity, quick and exact footwork, and special hand techniques that are the foundation of this exceedingly powerful martial art.

I was trained in Maryland by John Jacobo on the right side of photo cover. I trained previously in Doce Pares in Md. and loved how fluid Sinawali was combined with its rebound counter attacks. John Jacobo was a true master and I loved our one on one training after class. Thanks John your friend Bob Smith Ret. NYPD
