MASPHIL (Agbulos Martial Arts Studio Philippines) traces its beginnings in 1969 to Ernesto B. Reynoso Kyoshi (7th Dan red and white belter, Shorin-ryu Karate) Director of NRS Combat Judo Karate Club. For 14 years, Reynoso Kyoshi together with 8 nationally ranked assistant blackbelters founded 8 Judo karate Clubs in Metro Manila. His mysterious disappearance in March 1983 forced his assistants to bring MASPHIL to life. It was registered with the Department of Trade and Industry on May 27, 1983 as SCT Martial Arts Studio Philippines then changed its name into Agbulos Martial Arts Studio Philippines on January 14, 2002.
