Tenio DeCuerdas Eskrima

We teach the traditional Filipino martial art of DeCuerdas Eskrima, a comprehensive and practical combat system rooted in the Philippines’ rich martial heritage. Our curriculum provides in-depth training in stick fighting, knife defense, empty-hand techniques, and the effective use of improvised weapons. Students develop practical skills that emphasize adaptability, precision, and real-world application.

DeCuerdas Eskrima is a close-quarters fighting system designed for both armed and unarmed combat against single or multiple opponents. The system integrates weapons and empty-hand techniques into a unified approach, allowing practitioners to transition seamlessly between different ranges and combat situations. Training includes striking, joint locking, sweeping, takedowns, throws, chokes, and grappling techniques. These skills are practiced from standing, seated, and ground positions, preparing students to respond effectively in a wide variety of self-defense scenarios.
