Today we celebrate the birthday of our founder and chief instructor who continues to inspire in all of us a fervent desire to make ourselves better eskrimadors each and everyday through his leading by example and selfless LOYALTY. We very sincerely appreciate all his sacrifices in dedicating his time and skills to teach us the Doce Pares multi-style system of Eskrima/Kali/Arnis. We thank our Doce Pares World Headquarters in the Philippines, Grandmaster Arnulfo “Dong” Cuesta, Grandmaster Alfredo Bandalan and most especially Grandmaster Dionisio “Diony” Cañete for advocating and laying down the initial path which has enriched our lives with the gift of learning the Doce Pares expression of Eskrima/Kali/Arnis and instilling in all of us a profound appreciation for the culture and heritage of a nation which birthed a great indigenous martial art. Mabuhay Doce Pares and long live authentic traditonal Filipino martial arts and happy birthday to our dear Grandmaster Erwin Mosqueda! From all of your Black Belt instructors in Los Angeles Doce Pares. https://www.instagram.com/p/BtkukGcgkKP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gcc7hbu49cf8

Guro Anthony Castro, 3rd Grade Black Belt Senior Instructor at Los Angeles Doce Pares |SOUTH BAY| Guro Anthony began his Doce Pares journey a year after the Los Angeles chapter’s founding in 2004 and has competed in numerous sparring & forms championships and World Eskrima, Kali, Arnis Federation (WEKAF) Nationals tournaments. He started his Multi-Style Eskrima training at the original Los Angeles Doce Pares Mullholand Fountain park grounds receiving curriculum instruction directly from Master Erwin Mosqueda and in late September of 2014 was part of the first group of Black Belt candidates that tested at the World Headquarters in the Philippines; in witness thereof was Supreme Grandmaster Dionisio “DIONY” Canete, ODL along with other Doce Pares Masters and Grandmasters. Coming from varied Western, South East Asian & tactical fighting backgrounds while competing in multi-disciplinary tournaments in as early as the late '80s, his learning integration to the “Multi-Style” system was but an organic fit into his overall martial arts knowledge arsenal. Among the most notable of his Doce Pares tournament achievements are: 2009 - Gold, Livestick Sparring Filipino Martial Arts Academy’s River City Rumble Tournament Sacramento, California USA 2010 - Champion, Forms Division Filipino Martial Arts Academy’s River City Rumble Tournament Sacramento, California USA 2010 - Gold, Traditional Forms Division Golden Gate (WEKAF) Nationals San Francisco, California USA 2011 - Gold, 3-man Team Livestick Sparring (as playing Team Captain) Filipino Martial Arts Academy’s River City Rumble Tournament Sacramento, California USA Los Angeles Doce Pares |SOUTH BAY| at Lima Tae Kwon Do & Martial Arts Academy 1219 Lomita Boulevard Ste. 103 Harbor City CA 90710 7:30-9:00 PM https://www.instagram.com/p/BtiJNl7gim8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1okoj50q3auoc

The year ahead of us will bring many challenges, but also opportunities to train harder and smarter and to build better skills within. A pig represents luck, overall good fortune, wealth, honesty, general prosperity, symbolizing a hard working, a peace-loving person, a truthful, generous, indulgent, patient, reliable, trusting, sincere, giving, sociable person with a large sense of humour and understanding. May all these be granted to us all for 2019! A happy lunar new year to all and mabuhay! https://www.instagram.com/p/BthDOZagSMN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=54sjqq8g70ci

We are #LosAngeles #DocePares Eskrima (LADP), propagating the learning and preservation of traditional Filipino martial arts in Southern California since 2004. #Eskrima or #Kali or #Arnis are names for the indigenous #MartialArts of the #Philippines. #DocePares is a Philippine martial arts training institution established in 1932. We specialize in the Doce Pares multi-style system of #Eskrima #Kali #Arnis. The multi-style system is an assemblage of various Filipino martial arts styles that were brought and introduced into the organization by the founding masters in 1932. The Doce Pares "Multi-Style" System is a conglomeration of varying traditional Eskrima styles established into a formal training curriculum. LADP was founded by Grandmaster Erwin Mosqueda, 9th grade black belt of Doce Pares Multi-System of Eskrima. His training goes back to the old Doce Pares Headquarters in 1977. He's had the distinction of having trained under legendary Grandmasters such as Felimon "Momoy" Canete, Ciriaco "Cacoy" Canete, and their elder brother Eulogio Canete who served as the organization's president since its founding in 1932. Grandmaster Erwin was also chief instructor of the world headquarters in the Philippines (Cebu city) from 1997 up to 2001.

#TapiTapi or #AliveHand "There is probably no other system of #Eskrima / #Kali / #Arnis that puts more emphasis on the importance of the "alive hand" than Doce Pares. The principle of use, is so deeply rooted and woven into the system that one will find its application in many phases and levels of training including solo olisi (single weapon), doble olisi (double weapon), espada y daga (long and short weapon simultaneous wielding) & mano-mano (empty hand combat)." ~ Supreme Grandmaster Dionisio "DIONY" Cañete, ODL Get to know authentic traditional #Filipino #MartialArts.

DOCE PARES MULTI-STYLE SYSTEM OF ESKRIMA | KALI | ARNIS The components of the "Multi-Style" system. For many years and even up to the present people are still confused about the real Doce Pares system. This is only understandable because while the system is a conglomeration of various styles as introduced by the founding masters in 1932, there are many instructors and masters today who only teach a specific style of any one of the original masters. All the founding masters had their own set of followers and the students who chose not to study and cross-train in other styles naturally learned only the particular style of his own teacher. Doce Pares was a virtual arsenal of Eskrima styles, hence, there's the Larga Mano of Eulogio Cañete; the Espada y Daga of Felimon Cañete and Jesus Cui; the Corto Linear of Teodoro Saavedra and later on of Venancio Bacon, Delfin Lopez and Timoteo Maranga; the Corto Orihinal and Media Largo of Felimon and Iluminado Cañete; the Hirada and Retirada of Vicente Carin and Ponciano Ybañez; the Mano-Mano and Baraw of Maximo Cañete and Jesus Cui; the Corto Kurbada and Abaniko of Ciriaco and Felimon Cañete respectively. Thus there are many masters today who only teach and promote one particular style and yet can validly claim to belong to Doce Pares family. It was in early 1970 when Diony was commissioned by his father Eulogio Cañete, the President of Doce Pares to study, prepare and formulate a program of instruction that would cover and comprehend all the component styles. The specific objective was to come up with a training curriculum that would give equal treatment and prominence to all the original styles and by all means to afford due honors and recognition to all the founding advocates. Hence the birth of the "Multi-Style" system which very much set well with Grandmaster Diony as he and his three elder brothers were among the very few who were fortunate to have learned all the original styles as brought into and introduced by the founding masters when Doce Pares was formed in 1932 The components styles of the "Multi-Style" are: All the three styles of Corto (Close Range); Corto Linear (linear strikes) Corto Kurbada (curved str https://www.instagram.com/p/BsaCUb-AGFd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1womwkiojqsvr
