FMA Life - Series - Lineage Holders - GM Guy Kananahan - Cacoy Canete Doce Pares

A Rare Glimpse into the Legacy of GM Guy Kananahan. Behind the Scenes clips of Seminar for Cacoy Canete Doce Pares with GM Guy Kananahan. Present was Bunal Brand’s Steve del Castillo, FMA Supply’s Mike Rubi Mckenzie, and Jun Angeles the Mandaue Snake.

Few martial artists in the United States can claim the level of firsthand experience GM Guy Kananahan has with the legendary Ciriaco “Cacoy” Cañete, the visionary behind the revered Cacoy Canete Doce Pares system. During his time in San Jose, California, GM Kananahan spent countless hours in training sessions with the Filipino icon, gaining insights into the nuances of this combat art directly from Cacoy himself and fellow students.

For enthusiasts eager to immerse themselves in the depth of Cacoy Canete Doce Pares, there’s no substitute for hands-on training with skilled instructors. The Seminar curriculum, both dynamic and intricate, encompassed techniques from Corto Linear, Corto Corbata, Palasut, Palakaw, and the hybrid discipline of Eskrido. Each component challenges the practitioner to refine timing, precision, and adaptability, hallmarks of the system’s effectiveness in close-quarters combat.

GM Kananahan represents a rare bridge between this Filipino heritage and the modern martial artist, keeping alive the spirit of one of Arnis’s greatest legends. For those who seek to deepen their understanding of Cacoy Canete Doce Pares, training under a seasoned expert is not just recommended, it’s an opportunity, and an honor.
