De Campo 1-2-3 International
A devastating combat system of arnis in the Philippines founded in 1925 by Professor Jose Caballero.
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.

Isang Pasada - Tatlong Patama
In this video, you’ll see how a single swing can deliver up to three strikes. The goal is to get three clean hits, but depending on your timing, distance, and control, it can be one or two — preferably at least two solid strikes.
The secret lies in the flip of the weapon hand from hayang to kulob as the arm swings through the target. That small adjustment lets the weapon travel through multiple angles within a single motion, creating what looks like one swing but lands multiple hits — a true De Campo principle.
Stay tuned for our Black Friday Deal!
We’ll be giving 40% off the full De Campo Master Class (regular price USD 700 → discounted USD 420).
The Black Friday discount code will be released soon as the date approaches.

Nice !
Looking really good Paolo.
Maraming arnisador ang mabilis pumalo, pero nakabaon ang paa sa lupa.
Footwork is survival.
Your strike starts from the ground up.
If your feet are dead, so are you.

I love the Quote! "Maraming arnisador ang mabilis pumalo, pero nakabaon ang paa sa lupa. Footwork is survival. Your strike starts from the ground up. If your feet are dead, so are you." Is this a "Maestro Paolo Pagaling" Quote or something from Jose Caballero?
GGM Braulio Pedoy of Derobio Escrima commented in the 80's. People these days are teaching eskrima from the waist up. He would tell us; footwork will win the fight. There is a time to move and there is a time to plant your feet and fight.
Nice work po
