Love it! I'm glad you're in a position to share his legacy; things like this are too easily lost.

[@RolandoEstocada]

Thank you - my dad gave me the job of codifying Dizon’s methodology and to make it public for the purposes of record-keeping and instruction. 🙏🏽🔥👊🏽

Quite engossing to say the least. So glad to gain insights and distinctions of these styles. Eagerly looking forward to more!

Love the video! Great information! The annotations make it easier to understand. Would your father be willing to do a private interview with you, and you could make a video about his responses? I'm curious about how to travel and sleep with a stick. I think there could still be value in how to carry, conceal, and draw a stick, especially in places where knife or gun isn't allowed or not called for.

[@RolandoEstocada]

Thank you Sam! Send the questions here and I’ll ask him. He showed me a few of them but I think they were relevant for the time. I may do a video on them based on your query.

@RolandoEstocada Hi Ronaldo, here's some questions for your father about Dizon. Thank you ### Personal Connection & Training with Dizon 1. How and where did you meet Dizon? 2. What was training like under Dizon? 3. What type of person was Dizon? (Personality) 4. Did you know Dizon’s family? ### Eskrima System & Techniques 5. Did Dizon emphasize any specific aspects of eskrima? 6. Did Dizon call DeCuerdas a style, or is it an idea of blending styles together (like strands of a cord)? 7. Why was Dizon more stick-based rather than blade-based? 8. Did Dizon teach you everything, or did he keep some techniques to himself just in case someone used his system against him? 9. Did Dizon have an empty hand system or a grappling system? 10. Did Dizon talk about how he developed his systems, where they came from, or what influenced them? 11. Were his Doce Pares and Doblete systems based on the Cebu Doce Pares club's styles? ### Philosophy, Legacy & Misconceptions 12. Did Dizon give you any spiritual or philosophical teachings? 13. What misconceptions do people have about Dizon? 14. How/What do you think Dizon wanted to be remembered for? ### Stories & Influence 15. Was Dizon involved in any revolutionary or military groups?

Mark wiley's book says "Dizon was not only a master of the serrada (close) and largo (long) range escrima styles, but was also an adept hilot (healer)" Is it possible to say the serrada style was the decuerdas and the largo possiblely be the Mohara? Did Dizon teach any hilot to your father? Is the Doce pares of Dizon unrelated to the cebu Doce pares style? I heard there was a Doce pares in Luzon

[@RolandoEstocada]

I think it is possible to say DeCuerdas was his Serrada - although there is some close-range in Mohara (called “Agawan”) that doesn’t resemble Serrada nor DeCuerdas. Both Serrada and DeCuerdas similarities can be found in the Doce Pares he taught my dad. No hilot taught to my dad but he was known for it - especially among my father’s uncles and aunts who were familiar with his line of work. I believe in Mark Wiley’s work he was cited as being a member of the Doce Pares Society in Laguna. However, I believe he had interactions with the Cebu Doce Pares lineage. MANY years ago I attended a Diony Canete workshop and I asked him if he had ever met Dizon. “He said ‘yes - he was average.’” According to my dad, although Dizon taught the art to him, he openly berated Doce Pares to my dad during their sessions, urging him to learn it quickly so they could move on to Doblete and Mohara. Apparently there was no love lost between Cebu Doce Pares and Dizon.
