What are the standards and core principles of Arnis Eskrima De Cavite?
Arnis Eskrima De Cavite (AEDC) was founded by Grand Master Henry F. Cerilla Sr., when he first began teaching the art of Arnis in Cavite City. Early on, GM Cerilla emphasized the fundamental difference between Arnis as a traditional martial art and Arnis as a modern sport.
As time passed, AEDC students learned to navigate competitive spaces while remaining grounded in the authentic concepts and mechanics of combat martial arts. Balancing both worlds presented a unique challenge, as sports competition demands distinct physical adaptations—especially in Anyo (forms) ex*****on.
Over time, AEDC successfully adapted modern techniques for competitive play without compromising their core foundations. This dual approach paved the way for greater sports success, ultimately earning their practitioners numerous medals.
At its core, Arnis Eskrima De Cavite stands firmly on three pillars:
Preservation of Classical & Traditional Striking Methods
Arnis as an Effective System of Combat and Self-Defense
Arnis as a Sacred Philippine Fighting Art
Today, this rich legacy is carried forward by GM Cerilla’s dedicated students. By passing these refined teachings on to a new generation of Caviteño athletes and practitioners, AEDC ensures the preservation of its traditional system while continuing to build a strong, resilient foundation for the youth.
Arnis Eskrima De Cavite honors Arnis in all its facets: both as an evolving modern sport and as a ancient, practical, and lethal fighting art of the Filipino people.

MALIGAYANG ARAW NG MGA BAYANI! 🇵🇭
Sa araw na ito, ginugunita natin at pinararangalan natin ang mga bayaning nag-alay ng kanilang buhay, tapang, at sakripisyo para sa kalayaan at kinabukasan ng ating bayan.
Bilang mga Arnisador, dala natin ang diwa ng pakikipaglaban—hindi lamang sa pamamagitan ng sandata at pampalakasan, kundi sa disiplina, tapang, katapatan, respeto, at pagmamahal sa bayan.
Ang tunay na bayani ay hindi lamang marunong lumaban; marunong din maglingkod at gumawa ng tama.
Mabuhay ang mga Bayani ng Pilipinas!
Mabuhay ang Arnis!
Mabuhay ang bawat Pilipinong naglilingkod sa bayan!

A few years ago, Lakan Bernard Mendoza had the opportunity to visit Cavite City with some of his students to train alongside Grand Master Danny Huertas. Accompanying them was Grand Master Henry Cerilla Sr.
Lakan Bernard extended an invitation to GM Henry F. Cerilla Sr. to visit Bulacan and participate in the Lakan tournaments, which GM Henry graciously accepted. Sadly, GM Henry F. Cerilla Sr. passed away in January 2026.
However, yesterday (August 22, 2026) we, his students, honored his commitment to Lakan Bernard by participating in and supporting the Lakan Tournament. We successfully competed, fulfilled his promise, and witnessed the event.
This participation is not only a competition for us but also a way of honoring the legacy and word of our beloved Grand Master. We eagerly anticipate participating in future Lakan Tournaments in the coming years.
We extend our congratulations to the following Arnisadors who earned medals in the tournament:
