Then You Learn Espada Y Daga, 2 Handed Grip Longer Weapons, Throwing Weapons & Flexible Weapons. With Impact Weapons It Is The Same But They Really Are A Shadow Of The Edged Weapon Where Pekiti-Tirsia Truly Excels.
Pekiti-Tirsia Starts First With Fighting Instict. The Development 0f this is primary, then Footwork That Is Both Offensive & Counter Offensive Together With Unique Body Mehanics That Power Fast & Accurate Weapon Attacks. Counter Offense & Recounters Are Taught As The Student Advanced In A Live Free Flow But The Emphasis Is Always On The Kill.

ONLY OFFENSE & COUNTER OFFENSE FOR BOTH WEAPONS & EMPTY HANDS

LEARN THE TRUE WAY OF THE BLADE
The Weaponery Of Pekiti-Tirsia covers a wide range from Knife To Spear with each weapon learned in actual real life application. Full Contact Stick Fighting and Sport Knife Fighting give us a way to see immediately what really works and what does’nt in actual application but nothing is like a Real Blade Fight.
When you really face a “human animal” with an edged weapon you will find no remorse or hesitation. I am talking about someone who is absolutely evil and amoral, who exists soley for themselves and their hatred. When faced with this kind of person with an “Edged Weapon” you must be ready to react instinctually with the Right Actions & Reactions if you are to survive and overcome this threat.
Fight or Flight – When faced with such threats people react in 1 or 2 ways. To either curl up, give up, run away or to FIGHT BACK. Don’t listen to those idiots out there who tell you that you either have this or you don’t. NO SIR that is not true, the truth is that we all have different levels of Fight but we must be properly trained to cultivate our Fight Drive to come out at the moment of truth when it is needed most.
That is what is most beneficial about Pekiti-Tirsia for you. It provides you specific training methods that Cultivate your Fight Instinct or Fight Drive under stress or actual threat situations so that you begin to develop and cultivate this Instict so that it is there for you whnever or wherever you or your family may face a threat.
So First the Fight Drive must be developed and then the Technique. The Right Technique for each threat and each energy to executed instinctually at the moment of the attack. So that when you are faced with actual threats you will react the right way and continue to react until the threat is no more.
