BAHALA NA HOUSTON

Leo M. Giron was a World War II veteran who fought with an elite unit of the United States Army behind enemy lines in the Philippines and was awarded the Bronze Star medal amongst many other citations.  Grand Master Emeritus Giron designed his system to overcome a larger and stronger opponent in life-or-death encounters. GME Giron’s system of escrima contains many ingenious exercises and strategies while remaining the essence of simplicity. We are proud to carry on and honor his legacy through the teachings of Grand Master Tony Somera.
