Pekiti Tirsia Kali & Kali Obtik are our main FMA systems.
What Is Kali Obtik-
Knife, Stick and everyday objects may be used as weapons of self-defense and although a separate subject from, are quite interwoven with empty-hand methods or an extension thereof. Kali Obtik is a modern method with a strong traditional root that includes influences from Western Fencing, Boxing and JKD. Kali Obtik is an art that includes both edged and impact weapons, drilling and freestyle sparring with padded weapons and safety gear. KO also includes Panantukan (Dirty Boxing) & CQD/Mano-Mano techniques designed for defense against weapons and close quarter defense. Kali Obtik is directly inspired from Guro Ted's Lucaylucay Kali, with emphasis on "Obtik". Obtik is defined as the use of stepping, pivoting and sinking or raising to power and time the stroke.
