Vol. 1
This DVD illustrates
Estilo de Fondo style in
the Giron Arnis Escrima
system of Filipino
Martial Arts. Estilo De
Fondo: estilo is style,
fondo is anchor. In
Filipino terminology,
Estilo De Fondo means to
hold your ground or
anchor yourself in a
solid position. This may
be called a blocked or
closed style, like when
a door is closed, one
must either use force to
break in or look for
other openings. The
weapon of application is
a bolo knife. This style
was used by Grandmaster
Leo M. Giron as a
back-up fighting system
during World War II in
the jungles of the
Philippines, and is the
foundation of Giron
Escrima.
Vol. 2
This DVD illustrates the
Cadena de Mano style in
the Giron Arnis Escrima
system of Filipino
Martial Arts. The term
Cadena de Mano literally
means "chain of hands."
This is a close-quarter
fighting style
consisting of a
progression from parry
to grab, twist and lock.
You will always maintain
contact with your
opponent's hands until
you have him in a
compromising position.
If your opponent
continues to be
aggressive, you will
employ finger locks,
joint locks, arm bars,
and/or chokes.
Grandmaster Leo M. Giron
used this style as a
back-up fighting system
during World War II in
the jungles of the
Philippines.
Vol. 3
This DVD illustrates
Estilo Macabebe style in
the Giron Arnis Escrima
system of Filipino
Martial Arts. Macabebe
is the name of a town in
the province of Pampanga.
Many men in this area
have chosen a trade of
peddling clothing
materials to families in
the remote barrios.
These men from Macabebe
introduced an art of
self-defense using two
long sticks; this style
is characterized by the
interweaving motions of
the sticks and is also
known as sinawali, the
weaving style. In Giron
Arnis Escrima, Estilo
Macabebe, the weapon of
application would be two
bolo knives. The
Macabebe natives were
known as fierce fighting
warriors who were
employed by others for
protection. The Macabebe
warriors also have a
bare hand and disarming
system that is used in
Giron Escrima.
Vol. 4
In the art of Giron
Arnis Escrima, estilo de
abanico refers to a bolo
knife defense that-with
the flick of the
wrist-wards off strikes
or thrusts coming from
the front. This is one
of the fastest motions
used to deflect an
attack, allowing the
defender time to
reposition himself in a
more favorable location
or posture.
Counterstriking is
included, with the
emphasis on the tip of
your weapon to get the
maximum amount of power
in short and powerful
striking ranges. In many
instances, shifting
weight of your body
laterally from side to
side, during the
movement, is necessary
to effect the abanico
style.
Vol. 5
Estilo de sonkete is a
thrusting and poking
style using such rigid
weapons as a bolo,
panabas, or baston
(stick). In this style,
the escrimador thrusts
his weapon into an
opening in the
opponent's guard. This
is accomplished in
several ways. First, you
can parry the opponent's
weapon with your left
hand and thrust your
weapon in to the created
opening. Second, you can
block the oncoming
weapon and slide your
weapon along your
opponent's until the
point of yours makes
contact with your
opponent's body. Either
way, to make this style
effective, the
escrimador must use
sidestepping to first
evade the oncoming stike.
Vol. 6
The term larga mano
literally means "long
hand" and implies the
ability to extend one's
reach. Reaching your
opponent without
jeopardizing safety is
foremost because one can
disable his enemy with
less chance of getting
hurt or killed. To
employ this style, a
practitioner must know
how to systematically
use a longer weapon. A
person cannot just swing
his longer weapon like a
flail it is an art and
therefore must abide
with the larga mano
science. Counterstriking
is included, with
emphasis on the top of
your weapon to get the
maximum amount of power
in short and powerful
striking ranges. The
practice of stretching
far is the daily
exercise of a larga mano
practitioner. Grand
Master Leo M. Giron
applied these larga mano
concepts successfully
during World War II and
is known worldwide as
the father of larga mano
in the United States.
As a direct result of
superior skill and
devotion to the
principles, philosophy,
and a purpose of Bahala

and his master level
instructorship. Master

of Master and then
Grandmaster by the late
Grandmaster Emeritus Leo
M. Giron. |
