features a wide variety of locks, throws and chokes utilising the stick. This is Grandmaster Cacoy’s own personal system of Eskrido.

 

Training in this style encompasses a variety of double stick training drills, close range single stick, stick and dagger and the empty handed art of Pangamot.

 

All Academy instructors continue to undergo extensive training at the world headquarters in Cebu City, Philippines and are all Graduate Black Belts in the Cacoy Doce Pares System with grades awarded by Grandmaster Cacoy Canete himself.
