Our new found path...Pulahan-Derobio Eskrima

• Posted by Chaz Siangco on January 28, 2009 at 2:23pm in Pulahan-Derobio Eskrima

To all friends and family,
As of Jan. 2009, the Siangco Instructors under the Pedoy's School of Escrima has parted ways with the PSE Organization. The San Diego Branch of PSE has closed and the Siangco family has reorganized under a new name and moniker: PULAHAN-DEROBIO ESKRIMA. The doors to our facility in San Diego will be closed as of March 2009 and we will hold selective private sessions only. We hope for much success and blessings for Grandmaster Tyrone Takahashi and his organization, as family will always be family. We hope the FMA community will embrace this change for us and that we find continued support from all of you.

Much Love and Aloha, Mahalo Nui Loa;
Chaz Siangco

Pulahan~Derobio Eskrima
Pulahan: literally translated “those wearing red”, we pay homage to these warriors not for their political and religious beliefs or fanatical views but to hold on to the virtues of this warrior sect of never bowing down, to never submit, to stand true to our philosophies as a warrior and purveyor of the Filipino combat arts.
Derobio: literally translated “Rhythm of the Horse”, to encompass all aspects of combat, the key to all movement, the nucleus of our combative philosophy – to evade and conquer.

This expression of Eskrima as founded by the Siangco Collective is a combative progression of their foundation in the art of Derobio as taught to them by their maternal Grandfather; the late Great Grandmaster Braulio Tomada Pedoy, a highly adaptive and innovative expression of the warrior spirit and skill of their predecessors, the Pulahan Warriors of Leyte.
