Workshop Introduction:Counteroffensive Edge & Impact Weapons Training
Join us June 5–7 for an intensive three-day workshop with Paulo Rubio, instructor in Pekiti-Tirsia Kali, one of the world’s most direct and combat-proven Filipino Martial Arts systems.
This workshop focuses on counteroffensive edge and impact weapons training, emphasizing realistic application, tactical structure, and embodied understanding. Over approximately 4 hours per day, participants will train with knives, sticks, and machetes, exploring how Pekiti-Tirsia Kali addresses real-world weapons engagement through timing, angling, footwork, and decisive counteraction.
Training will include:
• Counteroffensive responses to armed attacks
• Functional footwork, positioning, and body mechanics
• Managing distance, intent, and pressure
• Adaptive decision-making under dynamic conditions
• Transitions across weapons and ranges
This is not performance choreography. The material is practical, principle-driven, and taught with a strong emphasis on safety, reality, and context.
