It's not MT and BJJ how much they it is you will need to see.

Do you know much about Filipinno styles to state their effectiveness or describe them a bit?

MT and BJJ. Same as everyone else here will tell you. Unless you want to chain-punch your way to victory and spine-elbow all those who would try to tackle you, that is.

What little I know , it is but it is weapon based and not some thing I done much of.

Some examples of effective Filipino martial arts implementations are Dog Brothers and Straight Blast Gym are both street effective styles that include BJJ. Lots of good videos on both sites.

What I know about FMA's (Arnis, Kali, Escrima) is that they are mainly centered around the use of knife and stick. Though I believe there is some study in empty hand fighting as well. Sorry, that's probably not much of a contribution. I suppose an FMA'er needs to post on all that.
