Our mission is to provide the very best in both eclectic and traditional martial arts training for martial arts school owners and instructors.  Please browse our web site for information regarding Kenpo Counterpoint, the Counterpoint Tactical System and Cacoy Doce Pares. We provide schools owners and instructors with effective curriculum and our mission is to greatly increase the skill level of your entire school from your school’s head instructors to all students from beginner to advanced.

Kenpo Counterpoint
Kenpo Counterpoint is offered as an “Add-On” system to be taught in conjunction with a schools current Kenpo program.  As a qualified school Kenpo Counterpoint training allows instructors to implement specific skill set training  without changing or modifying their standard or current school curriculum. In fact non Kenpo schools will also find huge benefits in using Kenpo Counterpoint in raising the overall skill level of their students.

Counterpoint Tactical System
The Counterpoint Tactical System, or CTS, is a complete weapon-based, integrated martial art designed for the street with an emphasis on tactical counter offense. CTS  includes elements of Doce Pares Eskrima, Pekiti Tirsia Kali, Kenpo, Jiu Jitsu, Silat, and Kung Fu. The purpose of CTS is to train, produce and certify students and teachers who are well versed in every phase of civilian armed and unarmed combat. Not intended as a sport CTS has a survival-based philosophy that combines the concepts of both fighting and self-defense to give students the knowledge and skill to be successful in life threatening situations. Our end goal is to produce top-quality martial artists who will be successful against strikers, ground fighters, multiple opponents and weapons.

Cacoy Doce Pares
Founded in 1932 at Cebu City, Philippines the Doce Pares System became world renowned for its prominence in stick fighting competition in both international tournaments and back alley challenge matches in the Philippines.  Inevitably other systems would challenge the Doce Pares group and as challenges were issued Cacoy Canete the youngest brother of the Canete clan was always selected as the Doce Pares Champion to defend the name of Doce Pares. Over many years Grand Master Cacoy developed “Dekit Surikbut” the “close curving” style that gave Cacoy  the advantage to win over one hundred full contact stick fights.  As an innovator and master tactician Grand Master Cacoy is responsible for the tactical modifications that made the Doce Pares fighting style what it is today.
