This was a second photo of the same article taken by Kenny Willis of Grandmaster Billy Bryant, (My brother) Karate International Vol. 5, No. 2 The Filipino Martial Arts “Once Unknown-Now a U.S.A. Power”. Here double stick is being illustrated. The system that Puong Guru Billy Bryant teaches is the “Oliverez System”. Filipino Martial Arts has a very rich history, dating back to 1553. This beautiful style is a modern day secret art that has been copied by some of the more modern day styles. FMA is an art that is primarily used for self-defense, but has excellent counters to repel multiple attackers.
