Ranking Structure
[ Incentive Base Ranking: By completion of rank requirements and exceptional display of the skills defined in each phase of training, the student will be promoted to the next rank and certified to teach prior curriculum.  Certificate will define and detail status and responsibilities of student in regards to their rank and instructorship.  Instructor status within the Maitum and Asul rankings  ONLY allows students to teach within the main school and with a sanctioned training group.  Students holding this status cannot open a PDE Branch school for profit and cannot add/change/augment anything within the PDE curriculum.] 

Individuals are first introduced to Pulahan-Derobio Eskrima as candidates in which they must undergo a 2 to 4 week on-boarding class called A.R.M Module Training or Accelerated Response Movement.  This exposes candidates to fundamental skills essential to efficient growth in training Pulahan-Derobio Eskrima.  After successful completion of A.R.M's, candidates will receive a certification in A.R.M Fundamentals and promoted into the student ranks of Pulahan-Derobio Eskrima.

The student ranks of Pulahan-Derobio Eskrima are structured into a 3-Phase training module, in which the student must complete and exhibit the required skills as founded by Master Chaz Siangco and the Siangco Collective of instructors.  When the student successfully test out of each rank he/she is also awarded a Phase Instructorship Certification allowing them to teach the curriculum of that rank.  This certification allows the student to teach other lower ranking students and to also begin an satelite training group.  The Phase Instructorship Cerification does not allow the student to open an official school or add/change/augment any skills within the PDE curriculum.  Student progression is completely dictated by the growth and understanding of the required skillsets per each student.  Opening the opportunity for students to share and lead will access a greater sense of belonging to the system and understanding of the art and it's intricacies.
