- The CEMUSA Program
The name CEMUSA was originally the name of the group formed by SGM Cacoy in the 1950’s when challenges from other Eskrima groups were popular. CEMUSA or Cebu Mutual Security Association was composed of Doce Pares practitioners who were trained under the watchful eyes of SGM Cacoy. They were known as the defenders of Doce Pares…the Elite. Most of them were well-rounded Martial Artists loyal to Doce Pares.
At the present time, CEMUSA has been revived, but, this time, made into a training program. This program or the Combat-Effective Measures Undermining Street Agression Program is a crash course for everyone, especially for beginners or students who doesnt have any background in the Filipno Martial Arts, formulated to enable ordinary individuals to defend themseleves from common street attacks.
