12/19 Derobio Eskrima @ 10am
Hosted by Maestro Alvin Albano
Derobio Eskrima is a sword-based art that seeks to redirect incoming aggression as well as neutralize the intention to harm. As a cultural martial art with deep history, it is handed down to future generations for use in self-defense and self-enrichment. Students first learn the movements with sticks, but the bladed concepts can also be applied to the use of improvised items as well as unarmed defense. Derobio is also known for its many locks and disarms.

12/19 Balintawak Arnis @ 11:30am
Balintawak Arnis is a style of Filipino Martial Arts developed by Venancio “Anciong” Bacon in the 1950s from his earlier lessons from Lorenzo Saavedra. It was founded in Cebu City, and its original name was the Balintawak Self Defense Club, where it was originally taught. The club took its name from the street of its location, Balintawak Street, where the original Balintawak masters trained. I recieved my Master's certification under Grand Master Ver Villasin, the son of Grand Master Jose Villasin, one of Anciong Bacon's original students.
