I have known Mark Wiley for many years now and have watched him grow in the competitive world of the martial arts. I first got to know him years ago while he was in his infant stage of the game, trying to find the ever elusive “secret” of the martial arts.

After many long heart-to-heart talks along with many bone-to-bone bruises and contusions with him, I can now see that Mark found the right path in his pursuit towards martial arts excellence. His dedication to pursue top masters in many areas of the martial arts, from Muay Thai, Wing Chun, Savate, and boxing, to the Filipino martial arts, displays to me that his thirst for knowledge has not yet been quenched. This attribute is the key to achieving greatness in the martial arts.

In this book, Mark has focused on one martial art form, Escrima, and has conveyed the “essence” of the art. I highly recommend this and all of his other books.
