Escrima De Campo's JDC-IO (read " JDC Ai-O") is a Filipino martial art. Refers to the style of eskrim with a distance of Largo mano (from Tagalog, “long arm”, long range combat). The acronym JDC-IO is formed by the first letters of the names of the founder of the system Jose D. Caballero and his first student, Ireneo Olavides. The original name of the school was De Campo Uno-Dos-Tres Orihinal. Later, students named the school Eskrima de Campo JDC-IO in honor of the merits of Eric Olavides himself, who supplemented and improved the methods of GM Caballero [1] .

Largo Mano Mechanism
The style of De Campo Uno-Dos-Tres Orihinal (De Campo Uno-Dos-Tres Orihinal) mainly uses the distance of Largo mano - long distance [2] . Masters De Campo consider it the most rational to build a long-distance battle if you use a stick. At a short distance and in a clinch, it is more reasonable to use a knife, fists, elbows, head hits, etc. De Campo uses linear attacks and strikes at a range of destruction, instead of striking at corners used in most melee escrim systems.
Blocks stick to stick, tapi-tapi are not used, and fighting techniques without weapons, with bare hands are not developed. Disarmament is carried out simply - by striking an armed hand. In the training process of this style of Escrima , much attention is paid to the development of strength, speed and accuracy. Exercises for practicing an accurate and targeted strike are carried out in pairs one on one: a student instructor. Performing exercises in pairs of fighters of the same level is not encouraged. One of the explanations for this is that a fighter should always be ready to fight with a fighter of the highest qualification, and not just with hooligans. Grandmaster Jose Caballero happened to beat not only ordinary drunken thugs, but also defeat the best fighters of his time [3] . GM Caballero defeated Balbino Mancao , Simeon Saavedra , Vicente Labor, Juan Carolla , Heneroso Carbajosa , Alfredo Macredolan ), Jorge Navajo , Solomon Canonio , Pastor Hingoyon , Anoy from Tanguba and others. Despite its rigidity, the system focuses on hitting an armed hand, thereby reducing the likelihood of a fatal confrontation. Caballero never caused serious injury or killed any of his opponents.
De Campo Technique
The main features of the De Campo technique:
- lack of feints
- the first strike is always made with maximum force
- every part of the enemy’s body located in the affected area should be the first target
- most often, the armed arm is affected first, if the armed arm is laid back, the remaining parts of the body are affected: head, elbows, knees and second arm
- missing stick-to-stick blocks and tapi-tapi
- no active technical actions with the naked hand
- disarmament is carried out by simple targeted strikes on an armed hand
- all percussion combinations are practiced one on one in tandem student instructor
Three attack levels
Ireneo "Eric" Olavides recommended:
- When the enemy approaches, hit the knees
- When the enemy opens - hit the elbows and hands
- When the enemy is in the affected area (center) - hit in the eyes
Antau, fighting distance at De Campo
Manong Jose paid special attention to what Kendoists call ma-ai - the main principle of maintaining an effective distance [4] . This is a true assessment of the range of actions and the use of an attached boxing step, not long, but not short. Like a sniper - one shot, one kill, so the master accurately measures the distance of the blow to his opponent.
Sticks
De Campo does not stick to sticks of standard length. Sticks are trimmed in proportion to weight and length. An increase in inch is sometimes sacrificed for optimal speed, accuracy and power. The length of the stick can range from 31 to 26 inches. For an effective strike, sticks made of strong Bahi or kamagong wood are used, thereby gaining an advantage over light and strong rattan sticks. While many stick strokes use the wrist movement, GM Caballero easily switched to work with a blade, which he practiced regularly. De Campo also uses non-varnished rattan sticks, without firing, with bark left [5] , thicker and heavier than those commonly used in escrim.
Uno-Dos-Tres Simple Definition
Manong Jose once gave simple advice to beginners: “If you find it difficult to hit an armed hand, then target your elbows along their path in a very close radius. If the opponent hits you with a plankade (horizontal strike) - answer with a vertical strike from above or, conversely, if the opponent hits you with a vertical strike at any angle, answer with a plankade - but remember to keep the maximum effective distance. As a worn phonograph record, he always reminded the students: I trained you to fight with very good fighters, and not with big hooligans with a stick. A stick fight should end in 3 seconds, nothing more. Be careful! ” [6]
Acute Vision - Peripheral Vision
When Manong Jose was still living in Cebu province, a story happened with two men who visited him to see his mastery, about which much had been heard. They traveled all over Cebu province and neighboring areas to find an escrimador who could pass their test. When the two impudent people eventually met face-to-face with Manong Jose, one of them convinced the young Caballero to engage in a friendly battle with him - a bunch of punch - block - or, as the Sebuan call it, “davat davat” sparring. “Joe, how do you reflect this!” - The visitor warned and hastily and prematurely struck the first corner, and Manong Jose was forced to block. Without warning, he struck with an insidious nukite (hand-knife) as a prick with his unarmed hand in the solar plexus, the attack was harshly stopped by a whirlwind of young Caballero. The shocked man bowed his head and endured the pain in his hand, said: “We traveled many places and in the end we met a real Escrimador who passed our test. Usbon Nato! (Let's do it again), those who lose can only object loudly ” [7] .
He used peripheral vision , or what BI masters call eagle vision . He advised students to look at the adversary as a whole and never concentrate, never focus on a specific part of his body, such as his eyes, armed hands, center of body or legs. He also warned: “If you are standing with a stick in front of another person, already consider this as a combat situation. Even if it’s a friendly davat-davat (game battle in limited contact), maintain your level of readiness at altitude. ”
