Alberto or 'Jun' to his friends began with his studies in Eskrima with his late Grand Father Dalmacio "Enciong" Alicaway at the age of just 8 years old! 

Jun has also studied various Martial Arts including Karate (Okinawan style) under the tutulage of his father's best friend, Grandmaster Winnie Delarosa, Traditional Tai-Chi under the tutulage of Grandmaster Tan as well as Boxing under the guidance of his uncle Rolando Dacayana. 

In 1990 Jun continued to develop his training in Eskrima under the direction of his father Grandmaster Alberto Dacayana Sr in the MigSuneDo style of Eskrima.

Jun's reputation has continued to grow and he was recognised as an Eskrima Master at a relatively young age. Here is an excerpt from a letter written to Jun from the highly respected Grandmaster Ondo Carburnay of Lapunti Arnis:

The letter says "....now you have become a Master in spite of your youth, I salute you. Jun keep up the good work and share all that you have learned only with your chosen and most deserving students. Strive to live your everyday as a happy, upright and desirable person that your father expects you to be. I wish you were my own son! I would have been very proud of you as I watched you grow."
