Mixing with ilustrisimo 👏
What makes a student truly dedicated to martial arts? Is it natural talent, discipline, or simply the desire to keep learning without needing to be reminded?
In our latest article, Maestro Paolo Pagaling reflects on his experiences as both a student and an instructor, and what it means to find people who genuinely love the art and want to carry it forward.

My Training schedule, Escrima and Yiquan from Mo.to Fr. pushing hands on Sa. and day off on Su.
THE SQUARE STANCE
Seen from above, the structure becomes much clearer.
The feet are not heavily bladed to one side. The body stays relatively square, giving us access to both sides while allowing the hips and shoulders to rotate freely.
This is important in De Campo because our stance has to support continuous striking. We don't want to finish one strike, reorganize the body, and then prepare for the next.
The square stance gives us a neutral platform from which we can rotate from one side to the other, transition between Abierta and Serrada, and keep the live hand available as the distance closes.
From this angle, you can almost see the geometry of the position.
The stance may look simple, but it is built around how De Campo moves.

The neutral position of the hips makes re-chambering after every strike more fluid and is conducive to the signature circular motion of De Campo striking.
This is where it starts.
At just 10 years old, Hugo is beginning his journey in De Campo 1-2-3 Original with Group 1, Abecedario.
Many people think Abecedario is simply about basic movements, but in De Campo, this is where we begin developing footwork, positioning, timing, awareness, and the ability to respond correctly to a partner.
In this training, we feed the seven basic angles while the student learns how to move, how to position properly, and how to stay composed under pressure.
These early lessons build the foundation for everything that follows.
In this video, we also show how the same positioning and timing can be explored in close range with a training blade, applying the method in a different training context.
De Campo 1-2-3 Original is a complete curriculum with Groups 1 to 10, followed by College, where the earlier material is combined and developed further.
Everything begins with the foundation.
Group 1. Abecedario.

Not just techniques to copy, but the mechanics, structure, timing, and principles that make De Campo work the way it does.

The best escrima system I have seen, and very simple but effective too... I would like to learn it someday
My favorite style of escrima. Wish you had teachers here in the United States.
One of the ideas behind the De Campo 1-2-3 Striking Method is to give the student a simple language for putting strikes together.
1 is a half strike.
2 is a device or Redonda.
3 is a full strike.
Once the student understands the mechanics, I can simply feed Hugo targets and call out numbers: 1, 2, 3, 1-3, 2-3, 1-2-3, 1-3-2, and so on. He already knows what each number requires. Now the focus is on seeing the target, hitting it accurately, and connecting the strikes as they are called.
Simple numbers, but they open up a lot of possibilities.
This is one of the ways we train De Campo 1-2-3 Original.

At the Port of Laylay in Boac, Marinduque, Maestro Paolo Pagaling demonstrates key movements and principles of De Campo using a Sinampalok, a traditional Marinduque blade.
The Sinampalok used in this demonstration is a real sharpened blade, commonly referred to in Filipino Martial Arts as a “live blade.” It is being handled by an experienced practitioner in a controlled demonstration. Viewers should not attempt these movements using a sharp weapon. Proper training should always begin with appropriate training tools and qualified instruction.
There is something fitting about demonstrating De Campo with a traditional Marinduque blade on the island itself. The blade highlights some of the qualities at the heart of the system: precision, control, proper distance, clean lines, and economy of motion.
De Campo is not simply about speed or power. It is about understanding the purpose behind every movement.
