Eskabo Daan Filipino Martial Arts strives to give all who wish to learn the ability and knowledge to feel confident about being able to defend themselves. We believe in working smart not hard and our method of martial arts reflects just that. One of our philosophies is that anyone should be able to defend themselves adequately. At Eskabo Daan Filipino Martial Arts workshop, you will learn how to defend against armed attackers as well as unarmed attackers. One of our specialties is the ability to use everyday items as a tool for self-defense.
