them once again.” The legendary Ciriaco "Cacoy"

his martial art skills to others. Currently the Grandmaster promotes
his art for self-defense, sport and personal well-being. "Cacoy"

belt and the highest ranking member of the famed Doce Pares Eskrima
Club. He started Eskrima at age 7 under the oldest of eight, brother
"Momoy". Now 85 years old, Grandmaster Canete's list of

A religious man, who has never challenged anyone, Cacoy never refused
a good fight to protect his family's Doce Pares Club and good name.
He is undefeated in no-holds-barred weapon fights. His goal in martial
arts is to offer confidence to those with low self-esteem, courage
to the intimidated, and nurture responsibility among citizens. He
has authored several articles and three books; "Basic Eskrima,"
1988, "Pangamot (Barehanded Defense System)," 2000, and
the book "Eskrido," in 2004.
Since last year’s event, incredible things have happened for
many of the instructors involved. Guro Chad Bailey was featured

article describing the benefits of accupunture and
massage. Zach Whitson has been accepted into the International Knife
Maker’s Guild and release his second instructional video for

career has really taken off as a screenwriter in the past year with
several movies in production and the upcoming release of director
Alexander Gruszynski new movie “Black Dawn” starring
Steven Seagal now in post production.
“I have
known Martin for over ten years and his talents are seemingly endless
and always inspiring. The successes he has achieved truly embody
the ‘no limits’ positive mindset of the martial arts
and have made him one of the most popular guest instructors at our
school and events. I am very proud of his recent achievements”
