Sunday morning, July 9, 2017 I was scheduled to visit Balintawak Sugbu's Headquarters at Carlo Campaña's house in Jugan, Consolacion, Cebu to buy sticks. Carlo Campaña is known for making customized eskrima sticks which are carve and burned with a touch of his own style in designing it, he also tells me that customized sticks that he will be making in the future will have leather grips, well that is one thing that collector of his masterpieces on a stick will soon be waiting to have. Balintawak Sugbu is one of the closest groups I knew may be because practitioners of their system is like a brother to me whom I can talk to whatever we want to talk. Just a bit of Balintawak Sugbu's background, Carlo "Kaloy" Campaña learn eskrima through his neighborhood friend John Villasin who is a son of the late Atty. Jose Villasin, one of the original founding members of Balintawak Eskrima. Kaloy served as the chief instructor of the Villasin club for a number of years until he decided to put up his own club called Balintawak Sugbu. They are having their training every Sunday 2pm. I took a picture of him holding his masterpiece with a dragon design.
