Any training that does not include the emotions, mind and body is incomplete; knowledge fades without feeling

Training is useless unless you have a purpose, it’s knowing for what purpose to train for that can break men’s fulfillment.

Baraw Sugbo is a system of fighting developed by one such illustrious figure, Lorenzo Saavedra.

Tatay Insong, as Lorenzo Saavedra was fondly called, was the progenitor of the almost all Eskrima schools today. He is recognized by the different Doce Pares groups and various Balintawak organizations as the source of their martial system. As was common in those days, Tatay Insong did not teach all his secrets to one student or one group, he always kept something for himself. He would teach one group exclusively his system of stick fighting and only a very small part of his bladed weapons system, Tatay Insong would then teach another group his complete system of blade fighting and only the very basic of his stick fighting art. Due to the more real concerns on the possible abuse of the bladed weapons, the inheritors of the edge weapons system were a very small and selective group.

The fullness of the exclusively knife-fighting system was inherited by Lucresio Ceniza Albaño who taught it to one man alone, his nephew Gregorio Ceniza, a farmer from the neighboring area of Mandaue.

Despite teaching other people some parts of the style, Gregorio, or Noy Oyong, endowed the entire system to his only surviving son, Eduardo.

Baraw Sugbo, as taught by Eduardo and his students have since followed this path, is a comprehensive unarmed system designed specifically to fight a knife wielding attacker.

Devoting itself purely to knife fighting, it does not adopt methodologies developed by Eskrimadores for fighting with blades or sticks.

It is, instead, a fighting system built around the peculiarities of using knives as a weapon of attack, made comprehensive and honed to the level of lethal perfection by generations of practice.

To never give up can be defined as one’s ability to not at any time, even in times of supreme difficulty, to stop going. An attitude that enables someone to never give up is an attitude that we should all seek to have. To never give up means to look failure in the eye and tell it that you are coming for a rematch and that you will not settle until you win. To never give up is to be smart, to gain as much knowledge as possible about yourself, and about life, and to be confident enough to use this wisdom in order to achieve the things in your heart in which you are passionate about. To never give up sometimes means that a man’s ego and pride must be put aside in order to keep moving forward. To never give up is a hard thing to do, it is very easy to say, but in order to be able to put this in action, one must be willing to risk losing everything.

Baraw Sugbo is a family affair. This video shows Eduardo “Boy” Ceniza training his nephew, Cliff Cabatingan, the son of Croonie Cabatingan. Baraw Sugbo comes full circle, It was Lucresio “Ukit” Ceniza Albano and Venancio “Anciong”‘ Bacon who taught Ukit’s nephew, Gregorio “Goyong” Ceniza the deadly art of Arnis Diablo, aka Baraw Sugbo, It was then Goyong’s turn to teach his nephew, Croonie Cabatingan, the finer points of Baraw Sugbo. Now, Boy is teaching his nephew, Cliff Cabatingan. The art is truly a family system of edged weapons training.

Mabye today is the day to stop marching headlong into winds that settle like leaves onto autumn earth.

Mabye it’s the day the orchestra of your resolve quietly exits the stage leaving behind only echoes of symphonies played.

Mabye your evolution is finally ending the way every rainstorm does, or…

Mabye the hurricane of life still spins in your fists and the silence they’ve expexted is the sound of your next deep breath.

Because Mabye you’ve remastered the song of expectation

Mabye you persued your evolution like it’s higher education

Mabye the sound that follows your next deep breath is the sound that teaches the next generation.
