Escrima is a Filipino martial art best taught on-on-one or in small classes. The art of Serrada Escrima is built around 12 angles of attack and simple yet comprehensive defenses against each angle. Training begins with the single stick, later encompassing double stick, stick and dagger, sword, knife and empty hands. Tactics are designed to flow continuously against single or multiple attackers, with or without weaponry.

Currently I teach Thursday nights 7:30-9:30 at the Gracie Sports Academy (Cesar Gracie's school) in Pleasant Hill, Ca. I also teach private or semi-private lessons in various homes and parks according to individual schedules. Classes typically run 90 minutes. I was trained privately by grandmaster Angel Cabales and have taught continuously for 25 years. In 1989 I was a championship member of the U.S. national team at the 1st World Championships in the Philippines.
