  Kalis Ilustrisimo is famous for its fighting techniques, which were honed in the duelling cultures of Cebu and the docks of Manila by Antonio 'Tatang' Ilustrisimo. Ilustrisimo's fighting art, which combines many of the indigenous and Muslim sword techniques of pre-Hispanic times with modern teaching methods, has influenced or given rise to many other fighting arts practised the world over. This is the first book to deal with the techniques and theories of this system of personal combat.
