youtube - biagtan fma cinco teros
cinco teros (literally "five strikes") is an old style of arnis-escrima endemic in northern luzon particularly in the province of pangasinan. Despite being renowned in filipino martial arts (fma) circles as a battle-tested system, it is not easy to find an authentic cinco teros expert nowadays. I believe that the reason why cinco teros is not very popular in the fma mainstream is that it looks too simple at first glance (there are only five strikes in this system hence the name) and lacks the flamboyant appeal of better-known styles of arnis-escrima. Being a simple system though doesn't mean it lacks potency.
One master who now actively teaches
cinco teros in the philippines is
raysaldo biagtan. Biagtan, a native of malabago, mangaldan, pangasinan is also a seasoned muay thai and mixed martial arts (mma) fighter. He experienced both training and fighting in thailand. Biagtan recently competed in the battlefield x1: Supremacy, a professional thai boxing tournament in beijing, china as well as the universal reality combat championship, the philippines foremost mma tournament.
Biagtan said that the techniques of cinco teros translate easily from stick to blade. "some escrimadors do not care much on what part of the stick they're hitting with but in cinco teros we play close attention to knuckle alignment and always strike with the stick as if we're actually using a blade," he said. Biagtan stated that they work on delivering really forceful strikes with the stick in cinco teros and those same strikes delivered using a blade would be more devastating.
