From Batangas, the home of the balisong, this style is unusual in that training begins first with the knife, then progresses to the sword. It is characterized by its emphasis on thrusting and the use of three points. Garimot Tres Puntos uses the balisong and sling blade (developed by Grandmaster Felipe “Garimot” Baet), as well as common daggers and knives. It has been in the Baet family since Gat Puno’s great-grandfather, Gran Maestro Lino “Bisaya” Baet (2nd generation).
