Haring Ibon ~ Philippines Eagle Dance
This is PaaMano Eskrima Performing Arts' Tribute to the King Bird, "Haring Ibon". The Philippines Eagle is the national bird of the Philippines but sadly this majestic raptor is critically endangered.

Double Barong ~ PaaMano Eskrima
Doble Barong is one of the Sayaws (dance/martial/forms) in our PaaMano Eskrima System. Our Sayaws were created not only to enhance martial and rhythmic technique but also to honor the artists and the warrior ancestors of the Philippines without whom this art would have died. As Filipino Martial Artists we truely stand on the shoulders of our ancestors. We are honored to keep the art alive for future generations. And we are grateful to all the FMA practicioners all over the world for doing the same.
