I want to say that I really appreciate the patience of the 3-4 people who actually read this blog on a regular basis. In response to a lot of kind feedback and encouragement from you guys - and one student in particular - I have decided to write an actual book featuring material along the same lines of The Balisong Journal.
So, The Balisong Journal will stay online and i will update it, but I am putting a lot of energy behind the 'new' project. I welcome all of your thoughts and suggestions either by comment here or by private email.
Please stay tuned for details...

Welcome to THE BALISONG JOURNAL An online journal of Southeast Asian Martial Arts, Culture and Spirituality from Guro Jeff Davidson and Detroit Kali-Silat. We will focus on Filipino Kali, Batangas Knife, and Silat Melayu (especially Silat Kuntau Tekpi) - along with Yoruba (West African) fighting and healing arts- and other interesting diversions along the way.

Guro are you writing an instructional book?

Well...
A couple years ago I read an old, out-of-print autobiography of an obscure British rock musician who came on the scene in England with guys like John Mayall and the Yardbirds. That particular book made such an impression on me that I thought "If I ever write a martial arts book, I want it to be like THIS"
If you enjoy reading this blog for whatever reason, I think you'll like the Book.
Salam hormat brother,
I'll be the first to buy it!
Salam persilatan,
