Filipino Martial Arts

Cebu is where Eskrima — the Philippines' stick-fighting martial art — was born, and where FMA7, the Department of Tourism Region 7 program, is turning that heritage into a tourism product. Budots Media covers the tour as part of our long-running DOT7 portfolio.

Central Visayas hosts more than 30 distinct Filipino Martial Arts systems — the highest concentration anywhere — and Cebu was home to WEKAF's first international games back in 1989. The DOT7 Eskrima Tour routes visitors through the schools and lineages keeping that history alive today, produced for the 2022 season with client TudTud.

An art built to defend a home doesn't need translation — the tour just needs a camera that keeps up.

[Draft — add TudTud's project details, school names and photos via an .md file in the instructions folder and this page will be extended.]
