CINCO TEROS!!! This is square one of FMA. Filipino Martial Arts system.
CINCO TEROS!!! This is square one of Filipino Martial Arts system. Frank Delos’ 5 Angles is about angles of attack, situational awareness, nutrition, and family. The intro to Cinco Teros he gives us is a cheat code for beginners of FMA, and the salty combat effective . I recommend 5 Angles to anyone interested in expanding their self defense understanding.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear, Concise FMA Fundamentals
Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2022

I've been training aspects of Filipino Martial Arts for the last 30 years. It seems like every system in which I trained incorporated some elements of FMA, or was obviously influenced by it. Frustratingly, however, it is often difficult to tell which books on FMA are worth your time and which will simply confuse you further.

That is not a problem with 5 Angles. Frank Delo speaks from extensive experience and gives you the benefit of his insight into the fundamental principles of FMA, not just from the perspective of a student, but from that of a teacher. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone who is considering training in FMA (or whose system of choice has been influenced by Filipino Martial Arts). An excellent book by an excellent person.

Nothing is annotated, the write-up is difficult to follow, and if that isn't enough hundreds of the included photos are blurry and make no sense.

1.0 out of 5 stars There's nothing going on in this book
Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2024

I kept reading, hoping I was about to learn something, but I think this is about 10 paragraphs from the author alluding to many things that are never expanded upon, and also a thousand blurry photos of I'm not sure what, I've practiced this martial art for 7+ years and none of the pictures mean anything to me, doesn't seem like the editors had any idea either because they don't stay consistent in their presentation of the photos throughout the book. I'd give it 0/5 stars if I could.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed.
Reviewed in the Netherlands on April 10, 2024
Verified Purchase
I was hoping to get good technical advise on the mechanics, techniques and different arms of the Filipino martial arts. Instead, I merely got general advice on everything from carrying weapons to eating. I really had to scrap the nuggets of decent tips from a lot of unhelpful information that reads more like an ode to a father than a book on martial arts. What was most disappointing for me was that instead of getting practical or technical advise, 40% of the book is full with bad photos of the author's father, and with all due respect, that is not what I was hoping to get.
