We started this class with the intention to give back to the community... to those who have been effected by violence, sexual assault and fear, as well as those who have not, but who are interested in learning an ancient martial art. Class is informal but respectful, we are family friendly, beginners are welcome, please no egos and we like to emphasize family and close relations, staying true to the Filipino culture. =)

Curriculum:

We cover a broad range of techniques, starting with foot work to single stick, double stick, short sword, empty hand striking (dirty boxing), kicking, trapping, grappling, knife defense, flexible weapons, improvised weapons and situational training, all of which are based on the movements of the itak (machete/short sword). 

An introduction from Bunsong Guro, Natanel Cajudo:

"My martial arts journey started 13+ years ago when i met my first teacher, 6th generation practitioner Ama Guro (father teacher) Raffy Pambuan from Laguna, Philippines. Then traveled to the Philippines and trained with his father, the late and great, Lolo Guro (grandfather teacher) Isidro Pambuan.

I myself am a 4th generation practitioner in my family of Fernantuad, a system passed down from my great grandfather from Antique, Philippines, then immigrated to Cotabato, Mindanao. I have since traveled and trained in California, Florida and back to the Philippines. Some of my other influences are with great respect, Guro Henry Espera of Rapido Realismo, Illustrisimo Kali, Filipino Fighting Systems (FCS) and the LuzViMinda brotherhood."
