I don't know if this should be in the filipino martial art forum but I found this:
The Italian mercenaries whose expeditions started to reach the Philippines from the middle of the XVI th century, actually had their own art and science of fighting mixed with the local techniques of war. Every detail about this 'school' can be found in the series of treatises which illustrate the history of martial arts all over six centuries.....

Did somebody see these guys allready?
I am a litle sceptical about medieval-renaissance martial arts,
after seeing some scottish swordmanship and french escrima....
Mabuhay ang filipino Silat at Arnis.
