About Cabales Serrada Escrima
Cabales Serrada Escrima was founded by Angel Cabales in California as the first commercial Eskrima school in the U.S. The word 'Serrada' means closed - the style focuses on very short-range fighting (Corto), lightning blocks and counterstrikes with a shorter rattan pole (24 inches) and dagger.
