THE SYSTEM
PEKITI TIRSIA KALI
A combat blade-fighting system of Filipino Martial Arts that employs all edged and impact weaponry.
THE ART
Pekiti Tirsia Kali employs all edged and impact weaponry as well as empty-hands combat that integrates seamlessly with modern firearms. This close-quarters combat system is based upon the use of the blade which provides protection from all strikes and attacks, destruction of opponent's weapons, and domination of any combat or self defense situation.
