Dionisio began his lessons in the Filipino Art in
1946 at the age of eight from his father and brother
Iluminado, the eldest of the five children (4 sons
and a daughter) of Eulogio and Irenea Aventurado.

He studied under GM Felimon "Momoy" Cañete and later
with GM Ciriaco "Cacoy" Cañete, both brother of
his father. He also trained with GM Vicenter Carin
and Maximo Cañete.

In 1950, during the Golden age of Boxing in Cebu, he
was attracted to the sport and for five years regularly
sparred and trained with several good amateur and
professional boxers at that time.

In 1957, together with his brothers, Diony was introduced
to Kodokan Judo.

In 1960, immediately upon his election as one of the
officers of Doce Pares, rules on the acceptance of students
and membership were liberalized. They started to promote
and develop Arnis to a wholesome spectator's sporting event

In 1975, He initiated the formation of the Cebu Eskrima
(Arnis) Association. All major Arnis clubs in Cebu banded
together for the first time. In succeeding to organize and
band together all the top Arnisadors, Diony, in effect,
sort of "Civilized" the fighting-oriented Masters and
curbed them to learn to co-exist for the sake of the
Filipino Art.
