Description
Excerpted from the website:
- The pre-Hispanic warrior classes of the Philippine islands were called Maharlika which are from the North (Luzon), Timawa which are from the Central Philippines (Panay, Cebu), and the Moro from the South (Mindanao). The primary arms of Philippine warriors were kris and kampilan sword types, wide-bladed daggers called baladaw, and the bangkaw or spear with a pointed metal base and leaf shaped blades.
During the late 1920’s and 30’s the U.S. experienced a wave of immigration from the Philippines. Stories of old tell about the constant sounds of sticks clicking in the night, or duels that were being held in the sugar cane fields of Hawaii and of various skirmishes experienced in the labor camps of California. The arts were practiced in secret and were often hidden from the young Filipino, let alone the general public. It was in the late 60’s when the Filipino arts began to surface, primarily in Stockton, California, with Angel Cabales, Max Sarmiento, Dentoy Revilar, and Leo Giron. It is through the efforts of these four men, that the Filipino arts would gain world popularity.
