With Guru Nilo Sara as trainer, CASASAI kids joined talentadong pinoy tv program (a national tv program).  They joined as Eskrimador Arnis Kids and almost won against the champion in a very close decision. The judges and spectators were so impressed with their performance. They were the texters (people’s) choice.

These kids were recently promoted to Green Belt.

Kudos to Guru Nilo Sara and the kids. In behalf of CASASAI, we congratulate you for the spectacular performance.

Since the inception of Combative and Sportive Arnis System Association Inc., three years ago with its headquarters based in the Province of Iloilo, Panay Island, Philippines, the Eskrima group has proven itself as an avenue of propagating the unique art of Arnis. Besides winning as overall champion in the National Philippine Olympic Festival Arnis championships spearheaded by Arnis Philippines Inc. for three consecutive years 2007-2009, Casasai has been instrumental in organizing Arnis group in Hongkong.Its Grandmaster and masters have taught students from Australia, Norway, and Jakarta, Indonesia.

CASASAI group in Hongkong was organized by Master Guru Eman Pamulag. Majority of her students are Filipina OFWs who practice the Filipino Martial Arts for pleasure, exercise, and self-defense.
