MY PASSION FOR MARTIAL ARTS

My passion for Martial Arts started when my father introduced me to boxing because, my grandfather was a Boxing Champion. Master Uwe Schwarz, a Cacoy Doce Pares practitioner introduced me to this style few years later.

I continued my training at the famous Cacoy Cañete Doce Pares Headquarters in Cebu from 1992, where I became one of the favorite sparring partners to the late SGM Ciriaco Cacoy Cañete, until he passed away in 2016. I was elected as the Chief Instructor of the Cacoy Cañete Doce Pares and promoted to the 10th Degree Black Belt Grandmaster of Cacoy Cañete Doce Pares Style.

I created this website to share my passion for our Filipino Martial Arts and our heritage with the people around the world. Come and join my training sessions, watch free videos, i have so much to share with you!
