Angeles Eskrima

An alleged Cebuano martial arts system originating from the Angeles Family and passed on through Maestro Armando P. Angeles of Cebu after relocating to the United States after World War II. It is a composite system developed from many Filipino martial arts and is highly combative due to the influence of Maestro Angeles's World War II experiences. Before Maestro Angeles died in 1999 he left control of the system to Punong Guro Rodger Marsh and asked that he keep the system alive and search out individuals with dedication so that it will always be a "living" system.

Correspondence with various Philippine veteran's associations has yielded no record of an Armando P. Angeles serving in any Philippine Scout or Filipino Infantry unit during WWII.

In early 2006, motivated researchers at Bullshido.com exposed Rodger Marsh and the fictitious art of Angeles Eskrima. Dr. Armando Angeles, an elderly, but very much alive doctor still alive and practicing medicine in the Midwest, was located and identified by a picture on a hospital website. When investigators called his office to inquire about his connection to Marsh, Dr. Angeles laughed at the notion that he was a deceased war veteran and informed them that he is very much alive and has never known anyone by the name Rodger Marsh.
