Well I have read a lot of books in my time, especially on the FMA subject and I can honestly say that the best book I have read so far on the much misunderstood and little known subject of Espada 'Y' Daga is the one produced by none other than GM Dionisio Canete.
This book gives a clear and concise understanding on the subject and shows that Espada 'Y' Daga is the back bone of many FMA styles and is not just simply sword and dagger, It shows that Espada 'Y' Daga can be translated to any area of FMA including single stick and even empty hands.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone (not just DP and RA students). It is the best read on the subject I have found so far.

I am sure they will be, but more importantly I am very interested. Do you know if they do this in multi region format? If not do they do it in PAL format?
I will also have to see if they do trade discounts

Cheers for the clip, Impressive as ever. GM Diony never seems to cease to amaze me. Even when we were with him last December, my jaw just hits the ground everytime he gets going.
I awlays say, if you get the oppertunity to train with him personally, you would be more than a fool to miss it.
Well if they have converted this to DVD and it is in a multi reagional format or on Pal in Video. I am definetly up for getting it.
Cheers again Bro.
