Practical Self-Defense: Filipino Martial Arts Sticks, Blade, and Empty Hand Methods

We are excited to launch a weekly Pekiti-Tirsia Kali training class in Crofton, Maryland.

Pekiti-Tirsia Kali is a traditional Filipino martial art known for its structured footwork, timing, and practical approach to self-defense. The system develops coordination, awareness, and movement through the study of both weapons and empty-hand techniques.

Training will introduce students to core elements of the system including:

• Structured footwork and body movement

• Single-stick and double-stick training

• Knife awareness and defensive principles
