Atillo Balintawak is a powerful Filipino martial art developed by Grandmaster Crispulo "Ising" Atillo based on the style of the legendary Grandmaster Doring Saavedra.

This art uses the single stick, as well as edged weapons and empty hands. We believe in P.A.S.T. - Power, Accuracy, Speed and Timing. It is a highly efficient style for combat (military/law enforcement), personal self-defense, and tournament situations.

The club is located in Dayton, Ohio. Call 937-626-8321 or email benevolence_balintawak@yahoo.com for additional information. Ask for Guro Paolo.

Update: In these trying times, and with the current course our economy is taking, everyone is hurting in the wallet. But don't let this stop your passionate pursuits, which the powers-that-be would like to eradicate in order to further their agenda. Human emotion/expression, creativity/art, and passion are gifts that should not be hindered no matter what!

For the time being, I'm offering to teach for free - I do this for the love, not for profit and I would rather teach what I love for free than not teach it at all. The only thing you're responsible for is to find a space to train. Salamat and mabuhay ng Arnis, Eskrima, and Kali!
