Where is Escrima?
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.
May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.

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

Re: Where is Escrima?
Isn't there an article featuring Escrima in Rifter #18? I could swear there is, but I'm a little loopey at the moment.
Blade with whom I have lived.
Blade with whom I now die.
Serve right and justice one last time.
Seek one last heart of evil.
Still one last life of pain.
Cut well old friend...
and then farewell.

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.

Wanderer, idolater, worshiper of fire,
Come even though you have broken your vows a thousand times,
Come, and come yet again.
