About Us
We train in a Filipino martial art called eskrima (also often referred as arnis or kali). Eskrima De Campo JDC-IO is the system which represents the personal martial arts journey of Ireneo “Eric” Olavides, who has formulated a style influenced by all of his previous teachers. JDC-IO stands for Jose Diaz Caballero (his teacher) and Ireneo Olavides. It specializes in the use of an impact weapon (sticks, improvised weapons, etc.) at largo mano as a means for protection.
