Ricardo "Rene" Casiňo
Founder and Grandmaster of Lakas Katorse Int.

Lakas Katorse is a purely Filipino Style Martial Art founded by Ricardo “Rene” Casińo, who was unsatisfied by what he saw as incompleteness in the other arts in which he trained in. Translated, “Lakas Katorse” is a Filipino vernacular term meaning “Power Fourteen.” In this case, FOURTEEN is the number used to classify nearly every sequence, pattern, technique, etc. in Lakas Katorse, for the reason that it is not too high a number that students will be stalled in the memorization of techniques, yet at the same time it is not too low of a number to allow the memorization of the techniques to be too simple. Although the main focus of Lakas Katorse lies in the training of the Martial Art, it also includes its own unique system of Body Building, Aerobics, and in some aspects, Physiotherapy. This broadens the definition of the term “Lakas Katorse”, making it a well rounded sports/athletic system for overall physical fitness and health. Consequently, instructors of Lakas Katorse are well-grounded in terms of over physical speed, strength, and endurance, making them well-equipped for the martial arts that they teach.
