Filipino Combat Systems: An Introduction to An Ancient Art For Modern Times

Mark Edward Cody began training in the Martial Arts in 1981. The Way of the Warrior led him to a lifetime study of the mental, spiritual and physical aspects of the fighting arts. In 1998 he became a 5th Degree Black Belt in Wado Ryu Karate/Jujutsu and a FCS Guro. In 2000 he published Bushido, his examination of warrior philosophy from a Christian perspective. Cody is an expert in many martial disciplines including Kenjutsu. For 15 years he operated one of Central Florida’s largest martial art/tactical firearm studios. A lifelong friend, and first generation student of the FCS founder, Cody is uniquely qualified to write the first book about Filipino Combat Systems.
