De Campo 1-2-3 International
A devastating combat system of arnis in the Philippines founded in 1925 by Professor Jose Caballero.
This clip of Manny Pacquiao doing rapid footwork (www.facebook.com/share/r/17gyfbR1hA/) looks very similar to the paspas footwork of De Campo.
For years, some people within FMA circles ridiculed paspas because they never see it used openly in eskrima. What many do not understand is that GM Jose Caballero would never reveal a high value movement to outsiders, or even to most students. Paspas was a fighting tool, not a demo tool. If he used it, it was in real violence. If he taught it, it was only to a trusted few.
That is why some practitioners today believe it “does not exist.” They judge based only on what was shown in public, not realizing how much of the old material remained behind closed doors.
When Pacquiao glides, changes angles, attacks, exits, and re enters the line, the logic of paspas becomes easier to see. It is an efficient way to move while attacking and avoiding counters. It is not performance footwork. It is fighting footwork.
De Campo shares paspas today because the context has changed. The era of real juego todo is gone, but the knowledge will die if it stays hidden. Preserving the system means documenting the methods clearly and teaching them with structure and responsibility. The goal is to protect the integrity of the art and prevent distortion from those who were never taught the original method.
The video posted here shows Maestro Pagaling doing an ensayo, using paspas as the footwork, so everyone can clearly compare it with Pacquiao’s movement.
Anyone who wants to study paspas and the full curriculum can join the De Campo Master Class at decampo123.org/masterclass. The complete system is taught step by step, with weekly Zoom sessions and full downloadable lessons.

Galing talaga!
Pressure test or non relevant
My classmates in elementary and high school in our place used to say, 1 Step 7 Jab 🙏❤️ Pugay Po 🙏❤️
The De Campo lineage crosses oceans, and today feels like a good time to honor every practitioner who keeps the art alive — from the Philippines to the United States and everywhere in between.
To all friends and students in the US who are gathering for Thanksgiving, warm greetings. Days like this remind us why discipline, family, and heritage matter. The training stays rooted in precision, honesty, and a standard that never bends.
Even as people abroad celebrate, training never stops. Every lesson inside the De Campo 123 Master Class was created so practitioners anywhere in the world can sharpen their skills, refine timing, and understand the heart of De Campo.
For anyone who wants to begin training this season, the Master Class is now 40 percent off as part of the Black Friday deal.
Enroll here: decampo123.org/masterclass
Train hard. Stay sharp. And to our US-based community — Happy Thanksgiving.

Happy thanksgiving for the folks from the US.
The whipping strike is one of the core movements of De Campo — fast, deceptive, and built to generate real power on the retraction. In this clip, Maestro Paolo shows how the hand initiates the motion, how the center fulcrum creates the snap, and why this movement is important in understanding De Campo’s mechanics.
Inside the De Campo 123 Master Class, our online course, the same idea appears in many forms, including what we call “the spring,” along with several variations of the whipping motion integrated into drills, Redonda, and timing applications.
This reel is just a little over one minute. The full explanation runs more than 12 minutes, where Maestro Paolo goes deeper into fulcrum transitions, baiting logic, and how the whip fits into the overall structure of De Campo.
If you want to study this properly and see how the whipping strike appears throughout the entire system, the Master Class is currently on a Black Friday deal at 40 percent off using the same code BlackFriday. Students inside get access to the full curriculum and see how these movements connect across Elementary, High School, and College.
You can also subscribe directly to Maestro Paolo’s profile for 9.99 USD a month, around 500 pesos, and get four premium lessons every month.
Support the preservation of real Filipino Martial Arts and the authentic method of De Campo.

Black Friday ends tonight. The De Campo 123 Master Class is still 50 percent off until the day closes. Use the code BlackFriday at checkout. Starting tomorrow, the discount shifts to 40 percent for the rest of the week.
This clip shows Maestro Pagaling training a student in Marinduque, filmed at the Luzon Datum of 1911 — the geographic center of the Philippines. All lessons in the Master Class were filmed in different scenic locations around the island, chosen so each instruction is bright, clear, and spacious.
The drill here is defanging the snake. Maestro feeds simple X-strikes while the student responds with one technique only: Device. It can be abierta or serrada, but that’s just the example. Any De Campo strike, combination, or finishing line can be inserted into this drill. The point is to hold the center and deliver the counter without getting pulled into the attacker’s shifting angles.
Students who don’t yet understand this principle often fall into a dangerous habit. When the attacker’s weapon goes to the right, they step left. When the weapon shifts left, they move right. They mirror the attacker and create symmetry. That transfer of position becomes exploitable. The attacker can use the student’s adjustment to change timing or angle and land a clean shot. This drill breaks that habit by teaching the student to ignore the attacker’s shifting arms and cut straight through the center line instead of chasing movements.
For anyone who wants structured, lineage-based training, the full Master Class is at decampo123.org/masterclass. If you want to train with Maestro Pagaling in person, just contact him directly.

Nice video. 👏. How to achieve symmetry if one of the opponents is left-handed?
Sir Carl Jackson stepped back into the arena last weekend at the British Championships, just four days ago. After saying he was “sort of retired” following the last Euros, the pull of competition returned — and he walked away once again as the British champion. He now continues to hold the British, European, and World titles at the same time.
What made this win special was that Sir Carl had just come from the Philippines last month, October, where he spent a full week strengthening his De Campo 123 training with Maestro Pagaling. The timing, angle work, and mechanical refinements he focused on during that visit became part of his rhythm in this tournament. His performance showed how even small adjustments can elevate someone who already has years of high-level experience.
Sir Carl has trained online in the De Campo 123 Master Class for years before finally coming to the Philippines to sharpen everything in person. The same material he uses — the structure, the drills, the mechanics — is exactly what students study inside the Master Class.
Our Black Friday deal is still active. The new De Campo 123 Master Class is 50 percent off until November 23 using the code BlackFriday, then 40 percent off until Black Friday ends.
Train online or in person — the curriculum is the same, and the doors are open at decampo123.org/masterclass.

Congrats!
Congrats 💪👍 awesome accomplishment
Congratulations brother. Keep the legacy alive. Well done.📣📣📣
Maestro Pagaling showing signature De Campo movement. He is using a camera tracker here, so he slows his sideways motion a bit so the tracker can follow. The footwork is sagadsad, perfect for smooth flat ground where you can glide with control.
If you want to study De Campo seriously, we have a BlackFriday deal right now that gives 50 percent off the De Campo 123 Master Class. Check our website for the details. The course teaches the full curriculum of Professor Jose Caballero and comes with weekly Zoom sessions for students.

Pugay po master.
Sir pwede po makita if left handed naman po ang practioner?
Here’s a short demonstration of the Pinuti in motion. This is the same Bohol-made Pinuti that Maestro Paolo Pagaling recently shared on his personal profile. In this clip he runs through ensayo — the flowing form used in De Campo. You may notice touches of Ilustrisimo in the movement, as passed down by Manong Yuli, but the structure is firmly De Campo.
The video ends with a cutting test on an empty soda bottle. An empty bottle is much harder to cut than a water-filled one because it has no weight to keep it steady. If the edge isn’t aligned, the bottle will simply bounce away. It’s a clear way to check form, timing, and edge control. This Pinuti cut clean.
If you want to study De Campo in a structured way, the Master Class is available at decampo123.org/masterclass. Our early Black Friday sale is ongoing. Use the code BlackFriday to get 50 percent off until November 23. After that the discount becomes 40 percent until November 28. No more sales planned for a long while.
The course includes the full De Campo curriculum, detailed lessons, and weekly Zoom sessions with the community.
