Interview with Philip Gelinas – Canadian head of Pekiti-Tirsia Kali, the top ranked Pekiti-Tirsia practitioner in the world (after Grand Tuhon Leo T. Gaje), and one of the original founding Dog Brothers (“Sled Dog”).
Philip is a 9th degree black belt in Kajukenbo Karate, and also a high-ranking instructor in several different Filipino martial art systems, a BJJ brown belt, an instructor in Combat Submission Wrestling, and was recently inducted into the Black Belt Hall of Fame.
Topics of discussion include the evolution of Georges St Pierre, the relevance of BJJ and MMA to self defense, grappling with sticks and knives, and how the martial arts continue to change and adapt in the 21st century.
