look how healthy he was a year ago.. i miss this.

Master V. did you modify the 12 strikes to make it easier for beginers? Just curious...because i know even Doce Pares has a modified system as well.

[PekitiTirsiaKali]

Answering for Master V can be tricky but I have to tell you McGrath has his own version and GT Gaje teaches a slightly different version than when he was teaching Master V 30 - 40 years ago you see. Master V is clear that we don't change anything and insists that this was the way he was taught. we believe him. The second tempelet may look more familiar to you if we ever get it on film. This is Master V's Pekiti Tirsia as taught to him by GT Gaje. Not PTKI or PTKGO. Guro Michael

Was Master V given the rank of instructor by Grand Tuhon Gaje? Just curious.

This is a seminar for newbies

[AKEFMA]

Maybe so, but I have been to "newbie" seminars when I was first new to PTK, and there were basic principles that were shown and taught...basic numbering system, footwork, etc...I don't know what type of FMA this gentleman is showing, but it does not appear to be PTK at all.

[PekitiTirsiaKali]

Understand that this clip is only a portion of a seminar and was not even filmed by us, we would have included different segments for certain. In fact this seminar was 3 - 4 hours long. This clip is ten minutes. We were forced to kind of change the format when we got there and less than half of the expected crowd was there and also juvenials under age 13 as well despite what we had told them. This was filmed by a non martial arts person and she posted this stuff, anyway it is still a nice video.

[AKEFMA]

Was Master V trained by Tuhon Gaje? If not, who was he trained by? I have never seen the 12 attacks in PTK done that way...also, the definition of PTK is "to cut into small pieces up close" or something to that effect...not an "entry" as was described in this video. At least that is what I was taught....by Tuhon Gaje....

[PekitiTirsiaKali]

Intelligent question. Good. Master v. is still in florida for the winter but I can answer this for him I believe. First, Master V was indeed trained by GT Gaje, begining in the sixties despite other peoples assertions otherwise. In fact Gaje is master v's dad's cousin and lived with them to complete his training when he was a young man. Master V also trained side by side with Bisio, Allin, Sayoc, McGrath and countless others over the last 40 years or so. They are dear friends.

[mdub2000]

thank you so much for your clear answers it is much appreciated for all who practice the older systems and the new. Its good to know the history of things so that people withing ptk can clearly understand. I'm sure modifications over time were made to suit the needs of those teaching and from their experiences which is different for everyone and it is what all teachers do. I am glad Master V is true to what he learned and keeps it as he remembers it.

[PekitiTirsiaKali]

Anyway, as far as PTK means "the entry" Master V is not saying that the definition of PTK is the entry, he is saying that it means that the entry it a specific way as opposed to other styles that have different entries. had we filmed or edited this clip we would have included the segment where the actual definition is given. I believe that the literal definition is Close Quartering, but cut into little pieces does sound better. LOL.

[AKEFMA]

Ok, now I am confused. "...he is saying that it means that the entry it a specific way as opposed to other styles that have different entries..."????? PTK is defined, as per Grand Tuhon Leo T. Gaje "To cut into small pieces, up close".

From what I saw in this short clip, it does not seem that what Master V was teaching in this seminar had anything to do WHATSOEVER with Pekiti Tirsia Kali. Another style perhaps, but not PTK. The numbering system he shows is DEFINITELY NOT PTK.

[la804o]

I like your videos. Good stuff.

[imaDQluver]

i go here! yay. lol. :)

[PekitiTirsiaKali]

Yay to you! See you in class! ;-)

[eddiegilla]

Also your 12 attacks are wrong . As well as bad.

[PekitiTirsiaKali]

Eddie Hunt, Talk is cheap, Come to Rhode Island. Master V.

[gatorlandkali]

Ganda ng pagka-define ng "seminar" - Not just my art it's about how we learn each other. This by the way, sounds very familiar. Tuhon Gaje mentioned this one time. More power to you Master V and your group.

[STUDENTOFARNIS]

Master V, you are one of the wisest and most thorough of many instructors on the internet. What people do not understand is that you are training PKT to young students on a level they can understand - its the first lessons in PKT. Thank you for all you have taught me Master V.

Dave R-

[langgaw]

just an honest opinion, this is a seminar in very slow motion. I am just wondering how much they have learned after the seminar. I assume this is a Pekiti Tisia basics?

[PekitiTirsiaKali]

Good Question. Some of the students continue to have trouble seeing past karate. Following through and chambering seem to be foreign concepts to them. Others have improved nicely, Siniwali drills are becoming more fluid and abecedario as well. Bottom line is those who have actually attended class have progressed.

[PekitiTirsiaKali]

O, I apologise for my poor spelling. Sorry.

[triangle08]

you guys are awesome. more power to you! looking forward to more videos.

[PekitiTirsiaKali]

Thank you Triangle. We are filming some drills and routines that will be posted here soon.
