Welcome to MARC, the program for Martial Arts at Rizal Center. We offer free on-site hands-on classes about martial arts in general with an emphasis on Filipino Martial Arts.
How many Bolos do you see at the base of the Andrés Bonifacio Monument in Caloocan, Philippines? The absence of a handguard indicates that these familiar and readily available civilian agricultural tools were conscripted for defense.
Instructors
