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.
