GM Angel Cabales Highlights | Serrada Eskrima

Clips of GM Angel Cabales of Serrada Eskrima.

Born in the Philippines in 1917, Cabales moved to the United States in the late part of 1939. He is acknowledged as the Father of Eskrima in the United States. Angel Cabales was the first to open a school (Stockton, CA) that taught the art of Eskrima to both Filipino and non-Filipino students.

Cabales met a man named Feliscimo Dizon on the docks of Manila. Dizon taught Cabales the stick fighting skills. They trained together on a daily basis with a round kamagong, dagger and empty-hands. Cabales trained hard and became fluent in the many aspects of the system. Through many traveling experiences he made his home in Stockton, CA. In 1966 he decided to teach the Serrada art to the general public. He always enjoyed sharing his many stick-fighting adventures through his rough life in the Philippines and United States.-- Resource from http://www.usadojo.com/biographies/an...
