History
 
Pekiti-Tirsia comes from the Island of Negros in the Philippines. It was created by the Tortal family of Negros and more specifically Conrado Tortal and his brothers. Handed down from father to son Pekiti-Tirsia was refined and developed into simply one of the most practical and effective Full Combat System on the Planet. Pekiti-Tirsia begins with 3 Main Categories: Edged Weapons, Impact Weapons and Empty Hands. The grandson of Conrado Tortal is Grand Tuhon Leo t. Gaje Jr. (seen here to the right) who is the sole inheritor of the Pekiti-Tirsia system.

Tuhon Gaje came to the United States in the Early 70's and really introduced the Filipino Martial Arts to the US. He taught so many people throughout the years some of whom have stayed loyal and some of whom who have not, but clearly his teachings were the beginning of so many others in the US. Just to name a few Tuhon Gaje instructed Guro Dan Inosanto and the late Edgar Sulite. Tuhon Gaje is one of those rare old world instructors who teaches you the right way from beginning to end and I consider it one of the great blessings in my life to have trained with him. - Guro Allen J. Sachetti

Pekiti-Tirsia is quite simply the most Functional and Effective Combat System on the Planet! Effective for everyone no matter what their size, shape or ability.

Practical & Proven Pekiti-Tirsia works against striker, grappler, weapon attacks or multiple attackers with real life answers to real life situations. Not just striking, not just grappling but truly a unique 3rd art that defeats the striker, defeats the grappler and dominates all that is in between.

 
Agalon Guro Allen J. Sachetti began his training with Tuhon Leo Gaje in 1991 when he met him in the Philippines. It was fate Tuhon Leo met Allen right after he had been attacked with a knife the night before. Tuhon Gaje invited Allen to go and travel to his Island of Negros where he began learning the art of Pekiti-Tirsia. Guro Allen has continued to train with Tuhon Gaje since then in the Weapon and Empty Hands (Dumpag) Systems Of Pekiti-Tirsia.
   
   
Techniques
 
For Empty Hands Pekiti-Tirsia Dumpag is truly a unique art Dumpag combines Pangamut (From Negros Occ.) and called Dumog (from Panay)into the most functional and effective real life, no rules combat system. Dumpag works on the street and in MMA bouts Destroying the Kick Boxer & Shutting Down The Grappler. Come In And See For Yourself how this unique art truly offers MMA competitors an advantage over those who just do Muay Thai and Jiu-Jitsu. The first person to master Dumpag and take it to the UFC is going to have a run like Royce Gracie.

"I proudly endorse this very impressive web site of Guro Allen J. Sachetti, as an excellent source of information to all who desire to obtain the Pekiti-Tirsia Doctrine of Discipline in forms of phsical, mental and spiritual values. Allen's unselfsih dedication to exapand his training and knowledge in Pekiti-Tirsia have made him a very skilled individual who is now capable of helping youths and adults in Delaware build their character. In the early nineties when Allen started his training with me in the Philippines, his acceptance into Pekiti-Tirsia came only through a rigorous training, testing and initiation that was not an easy task. Allen was accepted into Pekiti-Tirsia in the old ways with a test that was far beyond the normal faternity initiation.

Because of his undying effort to progress and master the system I am giving him my devoted time to condtuct seminars and special training for his advancement in this schools on a regular basis twice a year. All of Guro Sachetti's students are lucky to have someone of Allens petigry in Pekiti-Tirsia."
