\nThis episode is a special recorded interview with SGM Diony Canete.  Dionisio belongs to the second generation of the  famous Martial Art advocates, the Ca\xf1ete brothers of Cebu City, Philippines. He is the youngest son of GM Eulogio (Ylong) Ca\xf1ete, the principal organizer of Doce Pares, who headed the organization since its founding in 1932 until his death in June 1988. 
\n\nDionisio began his lessons in the Filipino Art in 1946 at the age of eight from his father and brother Iluminado, the eldest of the five children (4 sons and a daughter) of Eulogio and Irenea Aventurado.\n\nHe studied under GM Felimon "Momoy" Ca\xf1ete and later with GM Ciriaco "Cacoy" Ca\xf1ete, both brother of his father. He also trained with GM Vicenter Carin and Maximo Ca\xf1ete.\n\nIn 1950, during the Golden age of Boxing in Cebu, he was attracted to the sport and for five years regularly sparred and trained with several good amateur and professional boxers at that time. In 1957, together with his brothers, Diony was introduced to Kodokan Judo.  In 1960, immediately upon his election as one of the officers of Doce Pares, rules on the acceptance of students and membership were liberalized. They started to promote and develop Arnis to a wholesome spectator's sporting event.\n\nIn 1969 at the age of 22, he passed the Bar Examinations and became a fully-fledged Lawyer.\n\nIn 1975, He initiated the formation of the Cebu Eskrima (Arnis) Association. All major Arnis clubs in Cebu banded together for the first time. In succeeding to organize and band together all the top Arnisadors, Diony, in effect, sort of "Civilized" the fighting-oriented Masters and curbed them to learn to co-exist for the sake of the Filipino Art.\n
