Dumog:ista, lyhyesti.

A Short History of DUMOG

Dumog is a Filipino form of ground fighting that has been practiced for centuries in the Philippines, particularly in the Central and Western Visayas regions.

In Panay and Negros, Dumog was traditionally associated with the Sakada, Tapasiro, and tribal farmers and land workers. During the early days, these workers spent long hours in the fields and plantations. During their breaks and free time, Dumog became a form of physical practice, recreation, and entertainment among the workers.

The word Dumog is traditionally explained through two words:
'DU'- from Duta, referring to dirt, ground, or earth.
'MOG'- associated with Mamumogon, referring to farmers or land workers.

Together, these terms reflect the connection between the people, the land, and the practice of fighting on the ground.
The regions of Panay and Negros have historically been important agricultural areas, particularly known for their extensive sugarcane and rice plantations. The farming communities developed strong physical skills through their daily work, and Dumog became part of the cultural practices shared among them.

One of the areas strongly associated with Dumog practitioners is Antique, in Panay, which has long been known for its agricultural communities and rice production. The knowledge and practice of Dumog were passed from one generation to another through practical training, community gatherings, and traditional ways of life.

Dumog is more than simply a ground-fighting method. It represents the relationship between the Filipino people, the land, physical labor, community, and survival skills.
Today, Dumog continues to be practiced and developed as part of the broader Filipino Martial Arts tradition, preserving an important aspect of the fighting heritage and cultural history of the Philippines.

Dumog - rooted in the earth, shaped by the people, and carried forward through generations.

Walking Stick - lyhyt kooste vuoden 2025 "mini" leiriltä.

Walking Stick - 3 forms with 3 different grips: low, middle and high. (From PTI Tuhon William "Bill" McGrath). Also fits perfectly using a rifle, spear (sibat) or other improvised two handed weapon. (Short takes are from my 2025 walking stick camp. Where we also practised partner applications from the forms and more other techniques). #pekititirsiakali #pti #walkingstick #selfdefensetraining #practical
