He took his first lesson at the age of nine in Hinigaran, Negros Occidental – the hometown of Professor Remy A. Presas, using sugar canes instead of a rattan stick which was scarce then. His Modern Arnis training started with Grandmaster Roberto Presas and Grandmaster Christino Vasquez, under the guidance of Grandmaster Remy Presas. With Grandmaster Mateo D. Estolloso of Antique, Panay Island, he refined his classical techniques such as Banda-y-Banda, Rompida, Doblada, Hirada Batanguea, Espada-y-Daga, Palis-palis and many more.
