Tuhon Malcolm Stevens is a seasoned Filipino Martial Arts (FMA) instructor and former U.S. Marine with over 30 years of combined experience in martial arts. A Master Instructor in Pekiti Tirsia Kali, he brings to the floor the physical command and real-world grounding of a life spent in demanding environments.

​

Malcolm is a hands-on teacher in the truest sense. He learns and teaches by doing, exploring technique through direct physical experience and pulling his students into that same discovery. His instruction spans stick, knife, and empty-hand work, with an emphasis on timing, structure, and flow. He also teaches Muscle Tendon Destruction, the close-range disabling methods of Filipino Martial Arts. 

​

A Marine's discipline and physical capability allow him to demonstrate the art's most powerful techniques with control and clarity. Students do not just hear how a principle works. They see it and feel it, gaining an understanding of force and application that only direct, embodied instruction can give.

​

Malcolm brings exploration, instinct, and the living energy of practice in motion. His approach gives students personalized guidance while cultivating independence. He blends Filipino Martial Arts methods with practical application, ensuring that learners not only understand techniques but know how to apply them effectively under pressure. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced practitioner, his rigorous yet supportive instruction provides a structured, principle-based path to mastery, grounded in real-world experience and authentic martial arts tradition.

​

Malcolm lives the art. As Grandtuhon Supremo Leopoldo T. Gaje, Jr. teaches, the practitioner is the book, the knowledge carried not on the page but in the body. What Malcolm knows does not sit in print where anyone can take it. It lives in him, and he passes it directly, in motion, to the few who train close enough to receive it.
