PEKITI-TIRSIA KALI
Whether it’s effective edged and impact weapons training for military, law enforcement, security, or civilians, Radius Factor emphasizes practical tactics and combat performance of Pekiti-Tirsia Kali.
PEKITI-TIRSIA KALI and PTK-CQC
Originating from the Philippines, and officially named in 1897, Pekiti-Tirsia is a family system influenced by hundreds of years of combat development, yet remains practical in the modern world. Today, the Military PTK-CQC system, derived from Pekiti-Tirsia, is the official core system of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, including the First Scout Ranger Regiment, Force Recon Marines, Special Action Force (SAF), and the only system recognized by the Government of the Philippines. Pekiti-Tirsia is also trained throughout the modern world by various other military, law enforcement, and security forces. Learn the same core training methods for practical skillsets that supercharge your senses.
PRACTICAL COMBATIVES
Quickly build a multi-purpose combat skill set to outmaneuver and counter the opponent. You’ll develop acute awareness, practical proprioception, attack recognition, quick decision-making and evasive maneuver tactics. The training includes essential striking, grappling (standing or grounded), as well as how to utilize environment and equalizers.
DYNAMIC SELF-PROTECTION
Dynamic footwork, intuitive striking, contact manipulations while ultimately gaining advantage by recognizing and adapting to spontaneous attacks are all staples of Pekiti-Tirsia. You’ll learn how to protect yourself from all dynamic scenarios that involve armed, unarmed, and multiple opponents.
EQUALIZERS & FORCE MULTIPLIERS
When a disparity of force or a weapon is involved, and escaping is not an option, a force multiplier (an equalizer) effectively increases your survivability. This concise training module brings it all together. You’ll quickly develop a proven skillset using everyday carry tools and items from your immediate environment for self-protection. It addresses the justifiable use-of-force in any situation and validates how disparities (size, strength, multiple attackers, weapons) are approached.
TACTICAL SOLUTIONS
Understanding the dynamics of an edged weapon attack is one of the core strengths of Pekiti-Tirsia, especially PTK-CQC. The range and angle of the attack, how fast the threat can close the distance, the needed maneuvers and agility to evade in order to get to a position of advantage, and the best personal defense tools needed to nullify the threat. From an everyday carry perspective, this module of training concisely analyzes and defines it all.
SUPERCHARGE YOUR SENSES
You have to perceive the threat in order to effectively mitigate it. This is where Pekiti-Tirsia (especially PTK-SMF) stands out. When the attack goes dynamic, the ability to sense range, timing, strike/pattern recognition (and follow-through) of your opponent’s strikes is critical when edged and impact weapons are involved.
The process allows you to benchmark and refine your ability to adapt while testing your decision-making and physical skill through a multi-level progression—no matter the environment.
COMBAT CONDITIONING
Outmaneuver and outperform. When your knowledge, skills and tactics end, grit and conditioning are a deciding factor. Pekiti-Tirsia has valuable specialized athletic and combat conditioning methods to gain the advantage. Its inherent training enhances capabilities of speed, power, strength and agility through practical combat maneuvers. Radius Factor keeps it simple and dynamic.
