Edwin “Vice” Vigilar

Edwin has been an avid Taekwondo practitioner since 1986, dedicating decades to mastering this dynamic martial art. He’s proudly a two-time National Champion and proudly earned the Best Player award in 1988, showcasing his remarkable talent early on. Right after graduating from high school in 1989, he entered the military, embarking on a disciplined journey that took him through the Philippine Military Academy, from which he graduated in 1993. Following that, he served his country in the Navy for an impressive 12 years, carrying the same dedication he showed in Taekwondo. Currently, Edwin holds a 3rd Dan (degree) black belt and remains passionately committed to training, continuously refining his skills and expanding his knowledge of Taekwondo as he prepares for his much-anticipated advancement to 4th Dan in 2023. Beyond martial arts, he’s a certified TRX Trainer, blending fitness expertise with his martial arts background. He also enjoys playing a variety of sports including soccer, volleyball, tennis, badminton, and loves swimming, keeping his fitness routine well-rounded and fun. Interestingly, Edwin overcame his initial dislike of running when challenged by friends to train for his first Half Marathon in 2020 — a challenge he embraced with enthusiasm. After successfully completing his second Half Marathon in 2022, he’s already proudly setting his sights on running his very first full marathon, proving that his spirit of perseverance and growth knows no bounds.
