Thats a good point about other (more advanced) civilizations encountering fighting styles of the PI to try and determine how far the native fighting system evolved before outside influences. I think the first recorded writings were of the Spanish (I may be wrong) who wrote of swords, shields, knives, spears, rocks attached to rope (the yoyo) and sticks, blowguns, and bows (I'm writing this from memory, so i may not have all the facts strait). If this is the case, of course many outside influences had already reached the PI before the Spanish recordings.
