Description
This abundantly-illustrated classic from renowned scholar and martial arts teacher Donn F. Draeger provides a comprehensive introduction to the sophisticated forms of empty-hand combat and myriad unique weapons which characterise Indonesian fighting styles. Draeger shows how the forms are related to their mainland cousins, provides historical context for their development, and describes the combat methods of Menangkabau warriors, Alefuru headhunters and Celates pirates.
