Summer Term (Jul-Sep 2010)

 Focus: Adapting to Multiple Attackers

Pekiti-Tirsia System of Kali assumes multiple attackers - dueling one-on-one is a romantic notion and often what martial training begins with. As Grand Tuhon Gaje has said, "When the assailant steps out on the jungle path in ahead of you, turn and attack the other one coming from behind". Replace "jungle path" with "city street" and this wisdom prevails.

This term will focus on adapting the trained response to account for multiple attackers. This will include the application of base technologies in the contradas and counter-hitting, double stick flows, and finishers that limit your exposure to the secondary attack.
