MISSION
STATEMENT
Because Kabaroan
is a martial art and brutal as a fighting system, OUR CULTURAL OBJECTIVE
IS TO HUMANIZE THE ART, TO CIVILIZE THE ARTIST, AND TO REFINE THE SYSTEM.
We hope that all
practitioners, both students and teachers, would learn from the start
to practice the art with maximum safety; that whatever motivated them
to study Kabaroan (and other martial arts for that matter), they would
align themselves with those who have committed to study, practice, and
teach it for peaceful intentions and for the good of humanity, so that
our world might become a better and safer place in which to live
WHAT
IS KABAROAN ESKRIMA?
Kabaroan is the
Filipino martial art and system of Fencing and Self-Defense. Specifically,
it is the traditional way of fighting with hand-weapons or hand-arms
(ARMAS DE MANO) such as bolos, swords called kampilans (cutlasses),
spears, iron-wood sticks, and fire-hardened staves as opposed to fighting
with hand-guns or firearms (ARMAS DE FUEGO) such as pistols, rifles,
and revolvers.
Kabaroan is taught
publicly and privately as a Martial Art course for physical fitness
and self-defense. The training course shows the art hidden and preserved
in folk dances, its basic principles, history and philosophy, and its
exercises and disciplines for fitness, health, and fun.
WHY SHOULD I TRAIN IN KABAROAN?
Kabaroan Eskrima
offers physical, mental and inner discipline benefits. For the youth,
it offers very rewarding exercises that help develop mental alertness
and physical agility. It provides wholesome sports competition and very
safe combative art. For women, children, and senior citizens, Arnis
offers non-strenuous, non-rigorous, and moderate exercises for physical
fitness, muscle toning, self-discipline, self-confidence, and figure
control. Kali also offers basic, easy, practical, and effective defense
techniques for self, family, and neighbor-hood.
