Pekiti-Tirsia Kali PTK

Pekiti-Tirsia Kali (PTK) is a dynamic and highly effective Filipino martial art, specifically designed for close-quarter combat and survival in situations involving multiple opponents. Renowned for its focus on blade techniques and in-fighting strategies, PTK is a comprehensive system that utilizes a full range of close-quarters weapons. This powerful combat art offers superior protection against attacks, the ability to neutralize an opponent’s weapon, and ensures dominance in any self-defense or combat scenario.

Rooted in the rich martial heritage of the Tortal family from the Negros and Panay islands, Pekiti-Tirsia Kali has been refined over generations. It was passed down by Grand Tuhon Conrado B. Tortal to his grandson, Grand Tuhon Leopoldo Tortal Gaje, Jr., who now serves as the sole heir to this exceptional martial tradition. Today, PTK is practiced and respected globally, utilized by military personnel, law enforcement officers, and civilians seeking elite combat and self-defense training.

In India, Pekiti-Tirsia Kali is led by Tuhon Kanishka Sharma, appointed by Grand Tuhon Leo T. Gaje, Jr. as the Managing Director and Chief Instructor of Pekiti-Tirsia Kali India. Under his guidance, the art has flourished, with practitioners across the country embracing its life-preserving techniques and warrior ethos.

Though ancient in origin, the Pekiti-Tirsia system remains incredibly relevant due to its advanced strategies and adaptability. More than just a physical practice, PTK instills the philosophy and warrior mindset essential for true mastery. This journey of mastery is a lifelong commitment for those dedicated to its principles.
