Maayong Laki Lex Crisostomo

With a lifelong commitment to the art of Filipino Martial Arts (FMA), Maayong Laki Lex has delved deeply into the realms of Pinakatay Arnis Sigidas and Heyrosa De Cuerdas, under the esteemed guidance of Haniti Wes and Iti Walter since childhood. Their expertise spans a wide spectrum, encompassing weaponry, hand-to-hand combat, grappling, and the strategic utilization of environmental elements as combat aids.

Drawing from centuries-old traditions steeped in both warfare and indigenous dance, FMA transcends its historical origins to offer practical utility in various settings, from urban landscapes to maritime environments. The adaptability inherent in FMA distinguishes it as a martial art form uniquely suited to diverse contexts, embracing an array of implements ranging from tools of war to those of everyday life.

In their instruction and practice of FMA, particularly within the Pinakatay Arnis Sigidas (PAS) framework, emphasis is placed on honing skills in swordsmanship, grappling, striking, and the art of improvisation in contemporary scenarios. Through immersive exercises and rigorous training drills, their objective is to push practitioners beyond their comfort zones, equipping them to effectively apply their skills under duress. Participation in competitive arenas serves to validate the efficacy of their teaching methods, instilling confidence in students and fostering a culture of excellence.

At PAS, inclusion reigns supreme, with a firm belief that age, injury, or previous experience should never be barriers to learning and growth. Their approach ensures accessibility for all, cultivating a community of empowered individuals prepared to confront any challenge head-on.
