Supreme Grand Master Ciriaco 'Cacoy' Canete is a 12th Degree Black Belt rank, and he lives on the Island of Cebu which is in the Philippines, and he's world famous because of all his over 100 'No-Rules' stickfighting matches that he had in the 1940's, 1950's, and 1960's. Supreme Grand Master Cacoy Cañete, was born in August 1919 in San Fernando which is some 30 kilometers south of Cebu City, which is on Cebu Island, in the Philippines. Doce Pares means 12 pairs, and represents the original founding members, and also signifies the 12 angles of attack and corresponding defenses to those attacks. Doce Pares is widely known for it's classic low stances and the original 12 Doce Pares forms. Forms training is considered an important element of the system, as it improves balance, strength, speed and co-ordination between the hands, body and footwork. Many, if not all masters, grandmasters and students have contributed to the art's growth and popularity throughout the world. In recent times, the profile of Doce Pares has been significantly raised by Grandmaster Dionisio A. Cañete through his ongoing development of his Doce Pares Multi-Styles Curriculum and drafting of the rules for the WEKAF full contact stick fighting tournaments.
