Through this online academy, Rene Latosa shares his profound knowledge, ensuring that the authentic spirit and technical excellence of his system are accessible to students globally, regardless of their location.
We recommend following our structured curriculum from Level 1. Practice each drill consistently before moving to the next concept. Recording yourself and comparing it to the instructional videos is highly effective.
To start, you only need a pair of standard Escrima sticks (rattan). As you progress, you might want to add training daggers or a practice staff, but 90% of the course can be done with basic sticks.
Yes, we have a clear instructor certification pathway. Students who complete advanced levels and pass our rigorous video assessments (or in-person seminars) can qualify for certified instructor status.
