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

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.

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
Paspas! Never gets old. Learn how - decampo123.org/masterclass

Thank You for Sharing Sir
Still trying to figure it out……
In De Campo, the stick is only half the story. The deeper you go, the clearer it becomes that almost every Filipino fighting system was born from the blade. By moving from stick to blade, you see the connection, how the mechanics, angles, and intent were always blade-driven.
When you understand the blade, you don’t just swing the stick… you know what the stick is meant to do.

How does Decampo blade compare to illustrisimo blade? As you study both systems I believe you are qualified to answer.
I like the stick. 👏
Nice! The last part is tighter and looks similar to Balintawak hitting.
When a long-time practitioner speaks, we listen.
Sir Ludwig van Ditten has trained in De Campo for years and studied privately with Maestro Paolo. In his words, the De Campo 1-2-3 Master Class doesn’t just give the original curriculum—it takes a deep dive into movement, adding the very drills that Maestro reserved for his private students.
“It truly deserves the name Master Class. The level of detail is exceptional. Suitable both for veterans and beginners, with the added bonus of weekly live Zoom sessions to guide you along the way.” – Sir Ludwig
If you’re serious about your FMA journey, this is the course to start with.
