I tried extensively with GM Rodel and over. A year plus period periodically. I stayed in his home with my partner and was made more than welcome on each visit I look forward to training with GM Rodel again in the new year. And look forward to him meeting my new daughter.

His training has not only enhanced my prior learning in FMAs but also taught me many new techniques and fixed many old bad habits. My private students. Have said they benefit greatly and I hope over next year or so. GM Rodel or successors can visit the UK and promote the Dagooc Arnis System further. Pugay to GM Rodel and all the Dagooc family!.

The best thing about training with the DAS system is that there is a very friendly atmosphere. The training is hard and intensive but very rewarding. GM Rodel unlike other teachers of martial arts, does not hold back on any techniques. As fast as you can learn, you will be taught more techniques.

The teaching is great for both advanced and beginner students. As a beginner Gm Rodel is very patient and as advanced it very fast paced covering hundreds of techniques and patterns.

I spent in total 8 weeks training with GM Rodel and Getchin, 4 hours per day 6 days per week. It was an incredible experience and I would recommend it highly.  God Bless!

For those who want to learn DAS arnis, I highly recommend the teaching of the great master Rodel Dagooc and his successor, Getchin Dagooc. I must say that both of them are really phenomenal! Now I understand why people call GM Rodel the “Smoking Sticks”. It is because both of them are so fast and undeniably know their art. This is a great opportunity to be trained by the great masters. Thank you to you so much for being hospitable.

The Dagooc family has been very friendly and accommodating. They also pay attention to facilitate your stay and make you discover this wonderful country, the Philippines. Thank you all for giving me this opportunity to learn and improve my martial art techniques, skills, and abilities. Looking forward to learning more as I am prepared to step up into the next level.

When i found myself in the need of several good quality training sticks for my Balintawak group in Greece i was very disappointed at first because i couldn’t get any proper assistance from numerous sites among Alibaba producers.It was at that time when i came across Smoking Sticks.
My group is consisted of about twenty individuals with continuously changing minds about their needs of sticks.

Despite that,Cheneth, the co-owner of Smoking Sticks as i found out afterwards, was always there, meeting my every need and answering me every question, concerning shipping as it was my first time ordering from abroad.The quality was really great.That’s all you need to know and believe me ,
​ i bought every kind of stick they could offer.I would definitely suggest Smoking Sticks to everyone in need of their products.

I have been purchasing products from Master Rodel Dagooc for the last six years.  All training products, sticks, knives, machete, swords, etc are produced by highly knowledgeable Arnis practitioners. 

Not only do they know what other practitioners want, they read/understand raw materials used and select only the best to be worked into finish products.  This ensures excellent and unmatched quality training equipment.  Order extra as students often buy two sets.  One set to use, one set to adorn the home.

I highly recommend the products and services of smokingstick arnis of the Dagooc Arnis System.Having ordered from several suppliers of aluminum trainers, I’ve narrowed down my choice to only two  reliable suppliers of aluminum blade trainers – one of them being Smoking Sticks arnis.

You get quality products, superior customer service, and fast order processing. A combination that is very difficult to find anywhere.

Try them out and I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

I received the Aluminum Ginunting Bolo today. I wanted to let you know that I am very happy with everything about it. From the quality of Craftsmanship, to Customer Service, to the weight and the way it flows in my hands – Five Stars all the way. I am looking forward to collecting all of you Smoking Sticks products and I will recommend your company highly to all of my martial art friends.
