Victor Parcarey Gendrano

It is with great sadness that the family of Victor Gendrano, Jr. announces his unexpected passing on Wednesday, March 14, 2018.

Victor is survived by his father Victor Gendrano, Sr., and will be fondly remembered as "Kuya" (older brother) to his two younger brothers, three younger sisters and their spouses, and "Uncle Boy" to his numerous nieces and nephews. To the martial arts community, his heart, he will be lovingly remembered as "Guro" (teacher) Victor, as well as a perpetual student of martial arts.

Born February 1, 1959, in Los Banos, Laguna, Philippines, Victor relocated to the U.S. with his five siblings in January 1973, joining his parents who were already living in Los Angeles at the time.

Victor dedicated his life to his passion for the arts, and particularly, learning and teaching the Filipino Martial Arts (FMA). He held one of the longest running classes at the Inosanto Academy, teaching Kali on Friday nights since 1994. Victor also had the joy and privilege of teaching at OC Kickboxing and Mixed Martial Arts and taught until his passing. He is the founder and creator of Filipino Martial Heritage.

His indelible influence as a teacher and as a promoter of the Filipino culture through FMA has undoubtedly made a positive difference in so many people's lives.

We have lost a son, brother, uncle, teacher, and friend.
Rest in peace "anak", "kuya", "tito", "guro" and "kaibigan".
