My teacher Tom Weismuller’s teacher is Christopher Petrilli. Chris Petrilli is a former U.S. Army Ranger, and for years Chris trained in the Philippines directly under one of the founding members of the Doce Pares Eskrima system, Cacoy Cañete.
Petrilli is now one of the highest ranked students of Cañete’s, holding the esteemed rank of 10th degree black belt in Doce Pares.

Beginning January 2012, the weapons class will focus on all-stick-sparring.
To participate, a student must own one 28-inch “ActionFlex” escrima stick to spar with.
Actionflex sticks duplicate the sensation of rattan sticks. They allow us full-contact sparring with a rigid weapon at combative speeds. Actionflex is a brand used and endorsed by many escrima educators in the world today.
Students who wish to participate in the weapons class must also own and use headgear and hand protection. This requires headgear with a facemask and some type of right-handed glove (suggested: hockey-style).
Our club account affords students to get Actionflex sticks and headgear at 25% – 50% off regular price. If you do not have the required equipment, you will need to wait on the sideline so that those who are sparring have adequate room to move. Or if you are sharing a stick, the same thing applies. If you are not sparring, you are off the floor.
Do you ever shop on Amazon.com and discover you spent more than you intended just to save on shipping?
Ever go shopping and find out you missed a sale? Or to get a good deal you need to put your purchase on hold and wait for the upcoming sale? Or worst of all, you don’t have that measly slip of paper (coupon) that entitles you to a discount?
Follow that up with a feeling like you’re getting screwed because you aren’t a student so you don’t receive the best rate possible? Are other people getting a discounted group rate just because a relative or a spouse is included? Personally, I hate that shit.
Well, you needn’t be in the military, a college student, or married with offspring to qualify for the best deal possible.
I will always give the benefits of martial arts training equally across the board no matter who you are or what your status is. I find it unfair and a tedious trick to have gimmicky sales and limited time offers or special rates that make you spend more just to save a little, or favors one group over another.
