De Campo 1-2-3 Original
A devastating combat system of arnis in the Philippines founded in 1925 by Professor Jose Caballero.
Building a Legacy Through Dedication and True Learning
Recently, a new batch of students at Carl Jackson Martial Arts proudly achieved their student-level certification in De Campo 1-2-3 Original under the guidance of Magtutudlo Carl Jackson, a certified instructor in De Campo. The smiles and certificates in this photo represent not just a milestone, but a commitment to learning the art the right way — with diligence, patience, and respect for the legacy of Grandmaster Jose Caballero.
At De Campo, we cultivate a culture where each student follows the original De Campo 1-2-3 curriculum with integrity and dedication. Students progress through the seven student levels outlined in the curriculum (detailed at decampo123.org/certification), moving from Elementary to High School to College levels. Each stage is meant to be a thorough learning process, where students dedicate at least 1 month of consistent training per level before attempting their next grading.
This approach ensures that students gain a deeper understanding of each concept, strike, and technique rather than rushing through the material. It’s about mastering the fundamentals, managing distances, and truly internalizing the art — not about achieving ranks quickly or feeding a fear of missing out.
The rewards of this path are richer than shortcuts: students build genuine skill and confidence, rather than superficial certifications from short training stints in the Philippines. We encourage students to embrace the process and the journey of De Campo, knowing that this dedication honors the original intent and genius of Jose Caballero.
Congratulations to all the students who earned their certificates! This achievement marks a step forward in your journey, and we are excited to see where your commitment will take you.

So Sunday is the last day?
After receiving many requests following the release of our article about Pik-Pik, we’re now here to share a video demonstration breaking down the Pik-Pik—one of the most misunderstood movements in Filipino Martial Arts. In this video, Maestro Paolo demonstrates three core functions of the Pik-Pik in De Campo: Acceleration, Rhythm, and Redirection or Reversal.
Initially, Maestro Paolo was hesitant to share this, as the intricacies of the Pik-Pik are best understood through deeper training. However, seeing how much interest the article generated, he decided to record a video and show its practical applications to help you understand why this movement is integral to De Campo.

Good job my friend Paolo Pagaling
This is one of the better explanations on this topic. Thanks for sharing! If your ever in California, please advise.
The use of the hand at the bicep, to stop the motion of the arm, creates an increased momentum on the rest of the arm, below the elbow which subsequently increases the velocity of the strike. We use this in Lucaylucay Kali as well.

"Combat Arnis"—a term Grandmaster Jose Caballero used to describe the practical and combative essence of De Campo. The notes reflect not only the emphasis on effective footwork and mastery under an experienced instructor but also the system’s depth through its Specializations.
The Specializations for Dos Manos and De Cadena (both Doble Baston techniques) are part of De Campo’s advanced curriculum, though only the Solo Baston specialization has been widely taught, particularly through Master Jomalin Caballero, who learned it from his father, GM Mawe Caballero. The High School Specialization, however, remains an exclusive and nuanced aspect of the system, passed down to a few practitioners through Manong Rolando Caballero, including Maestro Paolo Pagaling.
De Campo 1-2-3 Original, once a closely-guarded secret, continues to be a living legacy, deeply rooted in its traditions yet shared with the world today. Read more from this article link below:

In this video, Magtutudlo Ludwig van Ditten teaches his son Dylan the Rotation Drill, a fundamental exercise that sharpens the execution of the strike we call "Device" or "Redonda." In De Campo, we view strikes as flowing circles rather than linear motions. This approach ensures a seamless connection of strikes, maintaining a smooth and uninterrupted flow by utilizing the natural curves and paths of the weapon.
This father-and-son training moment beautifully showcases the essence of De Campo 1-2-3 Original—precision, flow, and the mastery of fundamentals. If you’re in the Netherlands, connect with Sir Ludwig through the De Campo 1-2-3 Original Nederland for in-person or remote training. Dutch-speaking enthusiasts can also train online with Sir Ludwig, so don’t hesitate to reach out!
