Was pretty sure that this martial art was in a Rifter issue, like "World Warriors" (#7) but can't find it. Am I totally off or is it just a martial art that hasn't been converted to N&SS yet?

It is not in R3 ether. So it has not been covered yet.

Darn thought for sure it must have been in a Rifter...must be remember Gurps MArtial Arts or Hero System, ok I geuss i'll have to make do

It is refered to as Silat Arnis, which really Silat Arnis Kali Escrima, and it is infact in Rifter 7

Actually, Silat Arnis refers to a new style formed from both Silat and Arnis. I used to have notes somewhere on who created it.

If you find, let us know Mantis! Also... Kuseru's stuff is still down.

Isn't there an article featuring Escrima in Rifter #18? I could swear there is, but I'm a little loopey at the moment.

Okay, this site has info on Indonesian styles. It's sloppy, but seems to know what it's talking about. This is the system I was thinking of, but it seems to have different names so it only partially matches up.

To get down to it, the original style from Rifter #7 is a conflation of Pentjak Silat and Arnis. Which is just a mess. He's combining systems from Indonesia and the Filipines. And from what I've read, despite being geographicly near, there isn't any cross-polinisation between the two.

Nice to have working links again! Thanks Hibik!
