�This is the Third Annual Martial Arts festival that our school is hosting and we are really excited about the spectacular lineup of instructors at this year�s event. It is a very unique honor to have Grandmaster Cacoy Canete here in south Florida� said Sifu Sandor Urban.

The legendary Ciriaco "Cacoy" Canete of Cebu Philippines is a prominent, internationally known martial artist who travels the globe to share, teach and demonstrate his martial art skills to others. Currently the Grandmaster promotes his art for self-defense, sport and personal well-being. "Cacoy" Canete is the last surviving member and the only 12th degree black belt and the highest ranking member of the famed Doce Pares Eskrima Club. He started Eskrima at age 7 under the oldest of eight, brother "Momoy". Now 85 years old, Grandmaster Canete's list of achievements is extensive.

A religious man, who has never challenged anyone, Cacoy never refused a good fight to protect his family's Doce Pares Club and good name. He is undefeated in no-holds-barred weapon fights. His goal in martial arts is to offer confidence to those with low self-esteem, courage to the intimidated, and nurture responsibility among citizens. He has authored several articles and three books; "Basic Eskrima," 1988, "Pangamot (Barehanded Defense System)," 2000, and the book "Eskrido," in 2004.

Since last year�s event, incredible things have happened for many of the instructors involved. Guro Chad Bailey was featured in Lincoln Road magazine along with Shin Wellness in an impressive article describing the benefits of accupunture and massage. Zach Whitson has been accepted into the International Knife Maker�s Guild and release his second instructional video for Kenpo Counterpoint.
