Kilat Serrada is a Filipino martial art developed by Grandmaster Roy Sevilla Garciano from the Camotes Islands. It is a form of self-defense that emphasizes speed ("kilat") and quick finishes ("serrada") in close quarter combat. Technique Kilat serrada is mostly blade-oriented and includes weapons such as kris, pinuti, and balisong. It also uses sticks ranging from four inches to five feet. Double weapons employed include espada y daga, doble daga, and doble baston / doble espada. One of the specialties of Kilat Serrada is the Dekitan / Robuhan techniques to counter individual or multiple attackers armed with weapons in a hold-up scenario. Kilat Serrada emphasizes economy of motion and striking of vital points and nerves. All parts of the body are used as weapons. High kicks are not encouraged, but kicks below the waist are utilized strategically. Sinonbagay (Visayan dirty boxing) combined with Dumog (Visayan grappling, locking, limb destruction, bone breaking) are mostly encouraged. Some of the techniques come from the older Visayan martial arts that include Lawin, Ama / anak gore, alibangbang, haas, and iring techniques, similar to that of pencak silat.
