The word "Kamatuuran" (pronounced Kah-mah-too-oo-rahn) is a Visayan word meaning "truth."







Though each of us seeks our own truths, we come together in this school to help each other uncover these truths we are looking for.

About The School

The school is under the direction of Tuhan (Master) Joseph T. Olivia Arriola. Tuhan carries over 30 years of martial arts experience. Always extending his mastery at everything he does, Tuhan also teaches classes in Tai Chi and Feng Shui.

One of the main stories that has been passed down through the lineage of this school, is the story of the Blind Princess Josephine. The Blind Princess was the teacher of Floro Villabrille who in turn became the teacher to Grandmaster Ben Largusa, my teacher's teacher. She was from a village called Gundara on the island of Samar. Today little about her and her art are known in the village, except that there had been some kind of stick fighting art practiced there several generations ago. But her life and legacy continues through this story.
