One thing is for sure - I wouldn't want to be in a secluded place with those ladies!

I wonder why...

One cannot argue that the true nature of fighting is indeed through weapons. Wars are fought and won by weapon wielding individuals. In the aspect of believing in life not in death, success not in failure and health not in sickness, we prepare for the worst by engaging in simulation training or assi...

When you talk about Pekiti-Tirsia, you talk about blade culture. The Philippines' martial heritage is rich when it comes to edged weapons fighting. From the birth of man when Cain killed Abel and up until modern times in the countryside, blades are still being used mostly by farmers, meat butchers, ...

Check out the Art of Power Center gym found at the top floor of Al Hana Centre in Mankhool Road, Satwa. They also teach Kung-fu.

As Grand Tuhon Gaje says: "Pekiti-Tirsia Kali is the Art of Modern Times in the Living Past!" The practical use and counter offense against impact and edged weapons has always been and still is the focus of Pekiti-Tirsia Kali training. This is the reason why the art is still up to date as ...

In the field of martial arts alone, there are many groups who claim that they are the true ultimate art which can lead you to salvation. Below are some key points to consider when choosing a martial art to le...

How are you doing guys? How did you find last night's class?

In an ordinary person's lifetime, there are moments wherein you cannot help but feel empty and alone. Although you are comfortable and content, there are times that require you to contemplate if you are going down the right path or if you are happy with the road you took. We do not realize this unle...

To state that KALI, the true indigenous fighting art of the Philippines, has no proven combat effectiveness is ABSOLUTE IDIOCY! To claim that our fighting art is only a martial theory is absolute falsehood. For someone to classify Kali only as a combative sport needs to double check his history book...

What are basics? Basics are the fundamental elements necessary for something to function and operate. To a child, his basics would be being able to stand up in an upright position, uttering mono-syllabic phrases for talking, and his first few steps are also basics for walking.

Here's a site about a martial art developed exclusively for women... " There are many ways in which a woman can defend herself in foreboding situations. Judo, aikido, arnis and all kinds of martial arts, including a self-defense class, may give hopes that a woman is not as vulnerable as everyon...

Hi guys, I tried to join you yesterday at Safa Park, but found only some Kickboxing guys. I'd like to join you.
