Doce Pares is a type of martial arts that comes from the Philippines. Think of it like a big game of pretend fighting where you learn special moves and use them to protect yourself or defeat an imaginary bad guy. In Doce Pares, there are twelve different pairs of moves that you need to learn. Each of these pairs has a special name and a specific way of doing it. You have to practice a lot to become really good at Doce Pares, just like how you have to practice a lot to get really good at riding a bike or playing a game. When you become really good at Doce Pares, you can use it to protect yourself if somebody tries to hurt you. But it's important to remember that Doce Pares is not meant to be used to hurt other people, only for self-defense.
