Drills for Skills.

Larga Mano - Reterada Drill

(Aka. Largo Mano) Is commonly practiced as a long range stick fighting method. Our late instructor Grandmaster Leo M. Giron used Larga Mano weaponry (bolo and panabas), concepts, and techniques in defense of the Philippines during World War II. An Escrimador before the war, Grandmaster Giron learned first hand the real meaning of hand to hand close quarter combat. As a US soldier in the Allied Intelligence Breau (A.I.B.) He was responsible for gathering intelligence and organizing local resistance, laying the groundwork for General Douglas McCarthur's liberation of the Philippines. Attached is a clip of Dexter Labanoog and myself freestyling one of the major drills passed on to us by Grandmaster Giron.


Dedicated to my friend and instructor Leo Giron. The more we sweat, the more we burn reminds us of our time with you.

Blaise Loong visit!

Blaise and company stopped by for a visit while in town for the Bahala Na Seminars. He brought alot of new faces, but Brothers just the same. The boys from Bahala Na Multi-style exchanged double stick drills with their guests and were treated to a very special demonstration by Blaise and John Brown. More photos and video to follow. I'm still having computer issues. Enjoy!

About Us

Stockton, California has one of the United States oldest and largest Filipino-American populations. Early Filipino Immigrants came to the United States in search of education and a better life. It is said the bravest and strongest were the first to come. Many of these first wave immigrants used the applied knowledge of the Filipino Martial Art of Escrima to weather all threats the world as well as World War II had to offer.

"Honor"

WW2 - "Bahala Na Regiment" (circa 1942)

Today Filipino Martial Art Classes, Seminars, and Workshops are hosted on Sunday mornings at the Shingu Fighter Gym in Stockton. Included in the curriculum are elements of Eastern Kickboxing, Brazilian Grappling, as well as a heavy dose of Traditional Filipino Fighting Methods.
