probably the best book available is m. wileys filipino fighting arts theory and practice

this has an overview of many different Grandmasters and their styles........

take a trip to the P.I thats the best training around......

You're probably right. The JKD "blend" of Kali/Escrima is all I know and read about. I'm by no means an expert in FMA's (I've only just grasped the absolute basics), but I do find it interesting and fun.

So what is the difference between the FMA that is practiced in JKD schools and authentic FMAs from the Phillipines?
