Hierarchy and Lineage of Siete Pares Escrima

lineage2

Starting in the middle part of 1977, Grandmaster Labor and Grandmaster Bert Labitan forumulated what needed to be included in the Siete Pares Escrima Labor Labitan system.

In September 1979, Siete Pares Escrima Labor Labitan system was forged by Maestro Sosing Labor and Grandmaster Bert Labitan to include the Labitan system.  In November 1994, the Siete Pares Escrima Labor Labitan system was born and stewardship and leadership of Siete Pares Escrima Labor Labitan system was turned over to Grandmaster Bert Labitan and continued the legacy of Siete Pares Escrima under Grandmaster Bert Labitan’s leadership and guidance.

Between the 1994 and the present day, Grandmaster Bert Labitan’s health had not been in the best shape. So, on April 26, 2008, the Grandmaster (Bert Labitan) established the Guardians of the Art.  The rightful heirs are his two sons, Pares Labitan, Orabis Labitan and Julie Anne Xiomara Shanefelt (the grand daughter) as the ultimate heir.

The Guardians of the Art and their rankings are as follows:

Grandmaster Nelson Estanol, Presiding, 10th degree black belt

Grandmaster Joe Giron, Trainer of Fighters, 9th degree black belt

Grandmaster Ernesto Hernandez, Dumog and Chinese Kenpo, 9th degree black belt

Grandmaster Bro Cesar Jovillar, Spiritual Battles, 9th degree black belt

All Grandmasters are initiated into the Brotherhood wearing the same Pendant, have memorized all of the prayers,  understand each other’s signs,  are knowledgeable of the 30 Sinawali patterns, and all the Siete Pares Escrima secrets.

This lineage has been fully authorized by Maestro de Maestro Supreme Grandmaster Bert Labitan, and all Grandmaster and Master certificates have been signed in his own blood and with the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the prayer that goes with it.
