He started with the study of Kyokushinkai in 1975, and moved on to learn Sikaran in 1978. His foray into Sikaran also introduced him to Arnis. In 1983, he started working as a private detective for Del Monte Phils, Inc. where his skills in Martial Arts complemented his profession.

He started teaching the different martial arts styles in 1988, and then moved on to found Modern Martial Arts Academy, Inc. (MMAAI) in 1989. Since then, he has won titles in different styles of Martial Arts, has taught countless students in different styles, and acted as both referee and judge in the different Martial Arts styles. Though he has never formally studied under the different Martial Arts style, he has complemented this limitation through the help of the different Martial Arts books, different Martial Arts video tapes, being invited and joining in the different Martial Arts competitions over the years, keeping up-to-date with the latest trends, rules and regulations of the different Martial Arts systems, and his own hard work, perseverance, and dedication. He has produced talents such as Bernardino Chu who, among other titles, also bagged the record of being the VIII Czech Open karate champ. Currently, he is busy with teaching Karatedo and Arnis and starting his own Arnis line.

Modernized Martial Arts - History

In May of 1989, Modernized Martial Arts was founded by Segundino "Dino" Asiñero in the municipality of Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental, Philippines. The birth of Modernized Martial Arts was made in an effort to unite all Martial Arts practitioners who are divided due to differences in traditional influences, geography, culture, intrigues, and unjust judgment during competitions among the various styles of Martial Arts.

Modernized Martial Arts is a Filipino modernized style of Martial Arts, whose ultimate aim is to unite and enhance solidarity of all Martial Arts enthusiasts, as well as the community , regardless of their differing styles and techniques by defining a common goal. Modernized Martial Arts is used for sport, street fighting, and, most specially, self defense. Modernized Martial Arts should not be used as a means to bully, discriminate, or degrade any individual but to respect the law of Heaven and Earth.

Modernized Martial Arts is the integration of ancient, new, and advanced techniques of the various styles of Martial Arts prioritizing speed and movements of which ninety-five percent (95%) is circular and five percent (5%) is linear. All movements are useful and applicable in all offense and defense directions. Modernized Martial Arts is a study not only in the field of sports but all aspect of human life, everything which is good, practical and useful. Hence, no action is futile.
