Combat Effective Edged Weapons And Hand To Hand Training

Pekiti-Tirsia is a unique Filipino Combat System that begins with Weaponry and then develops a very effective Hand To Hand Fighting known as Dumpag. Starting first with a Short Sword (Like Talibong or Ginunting) or a Solo Baston (Single Stick) the student learns Footwork, Body Mechan-ics and the Ways Of Use of the Weapon. Then Instinct, Range and Timing are Mastered as both Offense and Counter Offense are learned together in a free flowing reactive manner. Pekiti-Tirsia works with Single Sword, Double Swords, Knife, Double Knife, Empty Hands (Dumpag), Sword & Knife, Long Sword, Spear, Throwing & Flexible Weapons And Firearms.
