Derobio Eskrimador Creed

“An Escrimador(a) must have the wisdom and discretion to know when to
use his/her art. When forced to use it, he/she must show humanity
against aggressors who cannot defend against it and the humbleness not
to boast about the power he/she holds. In doing so, he/she will gain
harmony both with his/her art and with his/her life.”

Wisdom: understanding of what is true, right, or lasting.

Humanity: humane quality, kindness, mercy.

Humbleness: deeply respectful.

Harmony: a pleasing combination of parts or elements.
