Some of Grandmaster Floro Villabrille's public full contact matches
were held in Hawaii during his fighting career between the years of
1933 and 1947. Most of his matches in Hawaii were open to the public
similar to boxing matches. These were organized and funded events
with paying spectators.

Grandmaster Villabrille was active in training full contact Kali
and Eskrima fighters for the Honolulu Civic Auditorium in the
1930's and 1940's.

Grandmaster Villabrille's first public full contact match in Hawaii was
in 1935 and was held at the old Honolulu Civic Auditorium. He fought
against a man named Veloriano Seqovia.

Villabrille's second public fight in Hawaii was in 1938 and was held on the
Island of Kauai in the Manila Hall. He fought against a man named:
Andrike Kihano.

Grandmaster Villabrille fought many additional full contact matches
in the old Honolulu Civic Auditorium. The most famous of his Hawaii
full contact public matches was a grudge match held in May of 1946 against a
man named: Francisco Ardona.

Grandmaster Villabrille retired from the ring undefeated in 1947.

In conclusion, I guess the stories,legends, and claims of all martial
artists are kind of fun to hear. I listen to them and then go on with my
life. These stories, legends, and claims whether fact or fiction do not have
any affect on my study, or practice of martial arts. The fact or fiction of
them does not contribute to my personal growth in the martial arts or even
as person in general. In my humble opinion, they are just kind of fun and
they add to the colorful history and legend of the martial arts. Try to
lighten up a bit and enjoy your life because we will probably never be able
to come into agreement over heresay or folk legends.

I just do understand why so many people waste so much time and energy
arguing about things that cannot possibly make any difference.

In short who cares or why care? No body will ever be able to convince
the other of their version of the truth... The TRUTH is as we each see it
and live it. Very unique and personal.

People have been fighting about who is right or wrong according to their own
standards or point of view for thousands of years... All that this has ever
proven is how childish we can all be over points that only matter to us. In
fact, how many people in history have been hurt and or killed over such
bickering??? Too many I assure you.

Maybe if we spend more time studying and practicing we could improve
our own understanding and expression instead of bickering over things
that none of us truly knows for sure. After all, none of us were actually
there... Think about it, we are fighting over hearsay.

Peace be with you,
Guro Harrell

You can read up on General Ablen and the Red Shirt Pulahanes group www.geocities.com/ebjustimbaste/ablen

Derobio Escrima
Braulio T. Pedoy (1900-1992)

Derobio is based on passing, either with the stick or hand, as opposed to
directly blocking the attack, once passed the emphasis is on controlling with
either locks and/or disarming. 12 locks are taught for each pass on the 12
angles of attack and up to 12 counters for each lock and/or disarm. Each pass
is also taught with what is called the "Basic 3" which is 3 strikes always
done across the body high, low, middle. The style is close range and is good for
"self defense" against a skilled or unskilled opponent. The style has a lot to
offer against a heavy weapon that might possibly not be stopped with a direct block.
Brauilo Pedoy opened his first Escrima school in 1961 in Hawaii.

major players : Eduardo Pedoy, Christopher P. Siangco, Tyrone Takahashi, Michele Navares,
Carlton Kramer, K. Peacock, P. Schmall, Ron England, L. Castillo, Chaz Paul Siangco

Kawaika and GM Tyrone Takahashi of the Pedoy School of Escrima and host of the Pacific Island Showdown.

tasialo

Offline

An Escrimador must have the Wisdom and Discretion

to know when to use his art. When forced to use it

he must show Humanity against aggressors who cannot

defend against it and the Humbleness not to boost about

the Power he holds. In doing so He will gain Harmony both

with his Art and his Life. ( Pedoy/Derobio Creed)

Many years ago a student of Serrada came to visit me and we worked for about a week. I liked what I saw and heard from this Serrada Student and he liked Derobio. Its like 2 long lost cousins meeting for the first time. It was a really great experience for me. I can share a little bit about Derobio Movements.
1) short sticks 24'' to 28 '' single stick. ( we are originally a blade art.)
2) short ,sharp fiqure 8 movements
3) move outside and inside with ease
4) when defending inside we move to the outside of the attack quickly
5) move very low and underneath the power, behind and power
6) our footwork is key for us
7) our checking hand is in motion all the time ( to Derobio the checking hand is the most important hand)
8)our Sumbrada moves can translate inside to outside in 1 motion
9) once our weapon moves it does stop until we disarm the opponent
10) we use our right and left hands to move the weapon
11) Derobio is a counter for counter martial art
12) I believe Serrada has Visayan Origin.

If you take away the thumb, you kill the hand. If you take away the hand you kill the arm. If you take away the arm you kill half the man. At least the attacker can live on albeit with only one arm. Than you invite him to your school and teach him how to defend himself with one arm .In Derobio we train with both our hands. Whatever your strong arm can do your other side can duplicate. This helps with body balance to.

This is just a small view of what we do I still did not touch on Agaws, and Dumog and Panantukan moves.
Can you please share any similarites with Derobio? I would be very interested.
Thank You

The history of the middle finger

The History of the Middle Finger
Well, now......here's something I never knew before, and now that I know it, I feel compelled to send it on to my more intelligent friends in the hope that they, too, will feel edified. Isn't history more fun when you know something about it?

Before the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, the French, anticipating victory over the English, proposed to cut off the middle finger of all captured English soldiers. Without the middle finger it would be impossible to draw the renowned English longbow and therefore they would be incapable of fighting in the future. This famous English longbow was made of the native English Yew tree, and the act of drawing the longbow was known as "plucking the yew" (or "pluck yew").

Much to the bewilderment of the French, the English won a major upset and began mocking the French by waving their middle fingers at the defeated French, saying, See, we can still pluck yew! Since 'pluck yew' is rather difficult to say, the difficult consonant cluster at the beginning has gradually changed to a labiodentals fricative F, and thus the words often used in conjunction with the one-finger-salute! It is also because of the pheasant feathers on the arrows used with the longbow that the symbolic gesture is known as "giving the bird."

IT IS STILL AN APPROPRIATE SALUTE TO THE FRENCH TODAY!
And yew thought yew knew every plucking thing.

history of CHA-3KENPO form the web site

In the year 1947, Professor Marino Tiwanak began his Kenpo training under Adriano Emperado, a black belt under Professor William K.S. " Thunderbolt" Chow, and Joseph Emperado, a color belt under Professor Chow, who later received his black belt from his older brother Adriano "Nonoy" Emperado.
Tiwanak was a former professional boxer and a holder of the 1944 AAU boxing title. Tiwanak's career culminated with a fight with then world flyweight champion Dado Marino.
Tiwanak stated that he started his kenpo training in the area of Halawa Housing in Honolulu, Hawaii. Later the Emperado group moved to Palama Gym in the Kalihi area of Honolulu, Hawaii. Tiwanak stated that when they moved to Palama Gym, they were joined by Woodrow McCandless who was a certified black belt from Professor James Mitose. McCandless merged his class into the Emperado group.
Tiwanak trained eight years under the tutorship of Adriano and Joe Emperado, and Woodrow McCandless and was promoted to the rank of black belt in 1955, at Dot's Drive Inn located in Wahiawa, Hawaii. Tiwanak then became one of the four black belts who were in charge of the infamous "Palama Gym".
In 1956, after the death of Woodrow McCandless, Tiwanak left Palama Gym and started the first branch of the C.H.A.3 Kenpo System in the Central Housing Area #3 located in the Pearl Harbor area. When Tiwanak left Palama Gym, two color belt students, Frank Suan and Leonard "Manini: Cuarisma, also left and joined the C.H.A.3 school.

The calloused knuckles of Professor Marino Tiwanak. Professor Marino Tiwanak always stressed his instructors and students to develop their hands.

The first generation black belts to come out of the Pearl Harbor branch were Frank Suan, Jaime Abregano Sr., Edward Wallace, Marine Antoque, and Leonard Cuarisma. In the early 1960's, they became known as the Central Hawaiian Activities 3 Kenpo Association, and Frank Suan opened the second C.H.A.3 Kenpo branch in the North Shore of Oahu.
Professor Tiwanak credited Frank Suan as being the Co-Founder of the C.H.A.3 Kenpo Association. Leonard Cuarisma moved to California after receiving his black belt, and opened the C.H.A.3 West Coast branch in San Diego. Another C.H.A.3 Kenpo Branch opened on the island of Kauai under Instructor Kenneth Bonachita, and a C.H.A.3 branch opened in Waianae on the West Coast of Oahu by Instructor Marce Totor. Soon the C.H.A.3 system began to spread with many instructors opening their classes on military instillations throughout Oahu, like Schofield Barracks, Wheeler AFB, West Loch, and Barber's Point.
After the Vietnam war, many of these military personnel training on base, returned home and spread the C.H.A.3 Kenpo System to the U.S. mainland. Because Tiwanak and his instructors stressed the importance of family and camaraderie among their students, the C.H.A.3 system became known as the Central Hawaiian Activities 3 Kenpo Brotherhood Association. Professor Marino Tiwanak always stressed the importance of family atmosphere among his students and instructors.
Professor Marino Tiwanak was twice inducted into the World Martial Arts Hall of Fame, receiving the Golden Life Achievement Award for Martial Arts, and again for being a Pioneer in the Art of Kenpo Karate. Professor Marino Tiwanak passed away on July 29, 1998 at the age of 71. On December 12, 1998, his C.H.A.3 Association was passed down the Marino Tiwanak bloodline to his son Michael at Aloha Stadium, Honolulu, Hawaii.
Professor Marino Tiwanak's legacy and traditions live on today through his philosophies and teachings. His Kenpo schools are deep rooted in Hawaii, California, Montana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Illinois, Florida, Louisiana, Nevada, Texas, Pennsylvania, and Canada.

Mahalo to all, much thanks for all the aloha. Master Chief Siangco and I are braddahs,classmates and we even went surfing together back in Hawaii. He is also a very experienced and knowledgeable escrimador, from a system that was known in Hawaii but not often spoken of. There were many escrimadors in Hawaii especially in 'sugar' towns like Aiea,Waipahu,Waialua and Kahuku, cutting cane is realistic training that Master Chief and I were talking about on the phone today. Its like the rolled tatami mats in my opinion which is how Japenese swords were tested for cutting ability. Aloha to all the Siangco Ohana, Malama Pono to you kama'aina o Hawaii !!

Well I'm back from Hawaii, there was not enough time to see everyone. GM Bandalan had his tournament at the Pagoda hotel in Honolulu this past weekend. I was on another island (Kauai). One of my cousins told me he worked with the son of GGM Villabrille there in Kauai. I got to see and meet some 'Lua' folks, they teach it and also make the weapons, it costs but I will save to get them when I go back or I'll talk to GM about maybe one day hosting them here in the San Francisco bay area in a seminar/workshop. It is graet to be back. Aloha and Much love to all the Eskabo Daan family.

Hey Professor Tasi,

Sounds like you are having a great time in Hawaii.  I am trying to
visit there soon to see my Kajukenbo Instructor and some of our other
people there.  I am also hoping to get down to Cali to see you and to
go see GM Robert soon.  We'll see how the scheduling, etc goes.

Trent

Aloha from Hawaii ! It has been quite warm here in Hawaii, I'm posting from the island of Kauai, up in the Wailua homestead above Kapaa on the East-side of the island. Hard to find guava tree branches, so I might not bring one back. Escrimadors here sometimes have used guava branches for their 'olisi' sticks, it is hard enough to do damage. Welcome to you Sifu Trent, this was my first chance to get to a computer, all of you in Portland are doing just great. Just wanted to say Aloha to you and the Eskabo Daan family, miss you all, Much Love, Professor SG Tasi

Welcome to the Eskabo family Sifu Junker. I don't believe I've met you but, I'm sure I will sometime soon. GM Castro is very unique in the way he teaches his students. His students are always placed before him because of his spiritual nature. Due to the friendly and humble family atmosphere that is fostered in the Eskabo house, people from many walks of life come through our doors and truly enjoy training and gathering here for festivities. Professor Morrell is also a wonderful individual and martial artist and you've got nothing but the best teachers from whom to gain knowledge and skills from in terms of Eskabo concepts.

Respectfully,

Lance

Hello Brothers and Sisters. My name is Trent Junker. I am a Sifu
in the Hawaiin Martial Art of Kajukenbo. Professor Mike Morrell had
approached me a couple of years ago to rent space in my Martial Arts
school here in Portland, OR. From that point, he and I started to
foster a good friendship. While visiting him one night, GM Castro
was there teaching a 2 day seminar, so I decided to partake in this
event and included a couple of students. I got to meet Harold and
Tasi, along with GM Castro. I then took a trip to California and
was invited by GM to stay at his house. I was there for 3 days,
training morning, noon and night with him and his classes, when they
were going. I was taken in as a student of his in this wonderful
Art of Eskabo. Currently I train with Professor Mike Morrell here
in Portland and am hoping to go back down and visit GM soon.

I want to thank all you that I have met for your wonderous
hospitality and kindness. All of the Eskabo people I met in
California, while at GM's place, were very open and accepting. I
will see you all again soon.
