I began my training back in 1984 when I starting my self defence journey in Boxing due to constant bullying that I was suffering in and around school. Bullying I know firsthand is a saddening, self esteem crushing experience

DID YOU KNOW... Dacayana Eskrima encompasses the direct skills required for self-defence application. This perfectly complements the Chi Wai Kung Fu syllabus BUT also enables the Dacayana system to be a perfect standalone art in its own right!

For example, the weapons skills can be used with something as simple as a rolled-up magazine, a pocket stick, a simple bar and many other items that can easily be found lying around. Eskrima also teaches us unarmed or empty-handed techniques within the drills and the weapon movements are easily adapted for empty hand application.

Here are some recent pictures from our recent grading session. Everyone gave their best. What a fantastic, challenging but fun day.
