Armed Doce Pares followers conduct a siege
Spunky Take:
The official seals have been inked – the historic One Doce Pares alliance is a go! This monumental pact, signed in the heart of Germany, is stirring up some serious buzz in the realm of Filipino martial arts, specifically Eskrima.
The Cañete clan's third generation, comprising Grandmaster Chuck Cañete (Cacoy Doce Pares World Federation), York Cañete (Momoy San Miguel Eskrima), and Master Gerald Cañete (Doce Pares Multi-Style System), are the masterminds behind this unifying move.
They've teamed up with heavyweights like Grandmasters Dirk Jaenke and Michael Korthals to shake off years of division among Doce Pares groups. This dynamic duo is aiming to bring these factions together, promoting unity, collaboration, and mutual support[1][2][3].
This alliance is all about honoring the legacy of the original Doce Pares system, established back in 1932 by Grandmaster Eulogio “Yoling” Cañete[3]. One Doce Pares is gearing up to put Filipino Eskrima on the global map, focusing on creating programs, standardizing training, and organizing events to attract new generations of martial artists[2].
The leaders of this movement are officially recognized as equal caretakers of their respective branches, working together under the One Doce Pares banner to govern, direct, and represent globally[2].
With this unification, Eskrima's influence and recognition could soar to new heights, potentially gaining broader appreciation of Filipino martial arts[4]. In essence, the One Doce Pares agreement signals a fresh start for Eskrima, embodying a pledge to protect its heritage while boosting its global relevance.
