Outwardly they radiate a rough, even dangerous image, yet they represent all the qualities of courtesy and respectfulness that is the cornerstone of the culture and Art of [[Eskrima]] handed down to them by GGM [[Leo Giron]], and other great masters. They dominate the tournament scene with team and individual victories, under the guidance of Grand Master Dexter Labonog and Maestro/Chief Instructor [[June Gotico]], who continue to advance the [[Filipino Martial Arts]].<br />
