Founded in 1925 by Grandmaster Jose Caballero, De Campo was a closely guarded secret for almost a century. Only select individuals—and mostly within the Caballero family—received the full curriculum.
GM Jose Caballero was highly selective about who he taught De Campo to. He feared that if he divulged the secrets of the system to just anyone, the student might one day use the art against him. This caution is one of the reasons De Campo remained hidden from most of the world for so long, ensuring that only the most trusted individuals would be taught the entire system. Similarly, in traditional Kung Fu, some masters refrained from teaching students they didn’t fully trust, fearing misuse of the knowledge.
Though Grandmaster Mawe Caballero, GM Jose Caballero’s son, shared the original curriculum with the public, its reach was limited. In 2018, Maestro Paolo Pagaling and Master Jomalin Caballero recorded the full De Campo online eskrima course and made it accessible worldwide.
With a one-time payment, you gain lifetime access to this invaluable knowledge. You can download and own the Full Curriculum forever. There are no subscriptions or ongoing fees—just a lifetime of mastery in a system kept secret for generations.
We offer a structured and progressive approach, just like many other online martial arts courses. However, what sets De Campo 1-2-3 Original apart is its combination of exclusive lessons, live sessions, and its deeply rooted history.

Since the course’s release in 2018, De Campo has developed into a thriving global community. We’ve produced around 20 instructors and reached a few hundred online students. While not all students remain active all the time, the community continues to grow as more people discover the depth of this system.
When you enroll in the full De Campo online eskrima course, we invite you to join our private Facebook group. Here, you’ll access monthly supplemental content uploaded by Maestro Paolo. These lessons expand on the core curriculum with fresh drills and advanced concepts.
You’ll also gain access to our group Zoom sessions, held at least three times a week across different time zones. Led by various instructors, these sessions offer diverse perspectives. It’s an opportunity to refine your skills in real time. The Zoom sessions are free for students enrolled in the full course.
Our full course consists of three levels—Elementary, High School, and College—each priced at $149. If purchased separately, the total would be $447, but we offer all three levels bundled for just $399.
Considering the core curriculum, the updated Facebook library, and global Zoom sessions, this bundle offers unmatched value for serious learners.
Cheaper Kali, Eskrima, or Arnis courses may seem appealing but often offer only surface-level content. Many sell these Filipino Martial Arts lessons in small pieces, costing around $10 to $30 per module. In the end, you could spend over a thousand dollars and still have incomplete knowledge.
At De Campo, we offer a complete, evolving eskrima system with continuous value. Maestro Paolo ensures the highest quality of training long after your enrollment.
While enrollment in the full De Campo Eskrima course grants you an invitation to the Facebook group, access is a privilege. We strive to maintain a positive, respectful learning environment. If someone’s behavior misaligns with De Campo’s values, we may revoke access to protect the community.
When you join De Campo, you’re gaining access to a nearly 100-year-old legacy. You’ll study a eskrima system that was kept secret for generations, now an online eskrima course open to serious students worldwide. With continuous updates, live training, and a global community of practitioners, you’ll have everything you need to succeed.
