The (WSEF) is an international escrima federation that was
founded in 2003, by Grandmaster Anthony Davis and Prof.
Leo T. Fong for the purposes of preserving the combative,
scientific, philosophical, and the spiritual applications of the
late Great Grandmaster Angel Cabales. As stated by Prof.
Leo T. Fong " Much of Angel Cabales' system of Escrima I
have incorporated into my empty-hand system called; "Wei
Kuen Do". Additionally, Prof. Fong was one of Bruce Lee's
and Angel Cabales' star students and personal friend.
Grandmaster Anthony Davis began his studies in the field of
martial arts at age 15. In 1984, GM Davis was extended a
personal invitation from Great Grandmaster Angel Cabales
to privately train under him in Stockton, California. Based
upon the personal permission of GGM Angel Cabales, GM
Davis has been keenly instrumental in spreading the
"Davis/Cabales Serrada System of Escrima" worldwide. It is
essential to note that the 'Serrada System of Escrima' as
taught by Grandmaster Angel Cabales has extensively
influenced several top notched Bruce Lee students such as;
Leo T. Fong, Dan Inosanto and Richard Bustillo.
GGM Angel Cabales is responsible beginning in 1966, for
the emergence of Filipino martial arts in America, and also,
that he is officially considered to be the "Father of Escrima
in America" as well. In 1991, GGM Angel Cabales was
named by 'Black Belt Magazine' as "Weapons Instructor of
the Year".
