Decuerdas Diestro Fighting Systems is based on the system from the late Grandmaster Gilbert Tenio. Decuerdas Eskrima is a close quarter combat system which is especially proficient at fighting multiple opponents.
Single and double stick, knife, empty-hands, rope and cane are some but not all of the weapons employed within the system. Real mugging scenarios are employed using empty hands, knife and gun attacks. Gun retention techniques are explored for the military and law enforcement communities, as well as arresting procedures.
The Tenio Decuerdas Fighting Systems is located in Acampo, California. Private and group programs are available.
