Doce Pares, as very few perhaps know, does not refer to one particular style. It is in reality an assemblage of various styles. Styles that were brought and introduced into the organization by the founding masters in 1932. To the credit of the leaders of the organization, these diverse and often contrasting styles and skills were all successfully integrated and passed on to the next generation of Doce Pares adherents. The following styles each comprise a portion of the group's training curriculum:
- The Close range style (corto) of Lorenzo and Teodoro Saavendra
- The Corto style of Ciriaco "Cacoy" Canete
- "Pangamut" style of Maximo Canete
- The Medium range style of Jesus Cui
- The Espada y Daga and Corto Orihinal style of Felimon Canete
- The Long Range style of Yoling Canete and Vincent Carin
The
Doce
Pares Multi-style
system is composed of six styles, or sub-disciplines.
These sub-disciplines are synergistic in nature in that weapons drills provide
the foundation for empty hand trapping and striking skills which allow you
to enter through the opponents defenses.
