Pekiti Tirsia Kali is a living system, and beneath its movements lies an architecture most practitioners feel long before they can name it. A geometry, a physics, a logic for why certain things work the way they do.

Mapping Pekiti Tirsia Kali makes that architecture visible. It offers six learning areas: Doce Methodos, the Tri-V Formula, Lima Lima, Contra Tirsia Dubla Dos, Capsula Methodica, and Pekadum Trigo, not as a curriculum to move through and leave behind, but as lenses. Each one renders a different part of the system clear.

 

Drawing on mathematics where it serves, biomechanics where it applies, and honest acknowledgment of what remains unknown, Tuhon Arlene Pinpin Stevens follows the question wherever it leads.

The book is written in the spirit of Grand Tuhon Supremo Leopoldo T. Gaje, Jr.'s teaching, that the practitioner is the book, and that the realizations that matter most cannot be handed over but must be arrived at.

​

It will serve student instructors, instructors, and leads most fully, since much of it only opens once you have felt the material in your own hands. Beginners are welcome to it as a companion to the journey rather than a guide through it. This is not a book to read once. Return to each section as your training changes, and it will tell you something it did not tell you before.
