Do you guys know any tactics used by the Filipino guerillas during American and Japanese occupations? Were you taught any tactics or was your training focused more on duels/self-defense?
I know in the Filipino-American War the Pulajans killed constabulary personel by walking past a column of troops and stabbing the last guy in the stomach with two daggers. The Juramentados or Amoks went on killing sprees with their lances and kris by sneaking through towns or troop encampments. There was also ambushes along the jungle using rifles and bolos.
During the Japanese occupation, Filipino Guerillas used small bolos hidden underneath their shirts to slash at Japanese soldiers before they surrendered. When the Japanese started ordering captured soldiers to remove their shirts, the guerillas used two-inch metal spikes. They also led Japanese soldiers into machine gun ambushes. When they ducked down after hearing gunfire, their bellies were impaled with poisoned stakes.
Also, how effective were FMA against Japanese soldiers that used their samurai swords?
So what do you guys know?
