If you’re looking for an easy, no-nonsense, devastatingly powerful self-defense program in NJ and the surrounding areas, then Pekiti Tirsia Kali is your answer! 


The Pekiti-Tirsia system of Kali originated in the provinces of Panay and Negros Occidental in the Philippines and was formulated and perfected by the Tortal family. Grandmaster of Pekiti-Tirsia, Grand Tuhon Conrado B. Tortal, passed this system and its attributes onto his only grandson, the sole heir and its present guardian, Grand Tuhon Leo Tortal Gaje, Jr.


Shihan Durand Howard, who has been promoted to the rank of “Tuhon” (Master of Kali), is the only qualified teacher in this area to give instruction as taught to him by Grand Tuhon Leo T. Gaje Jr.


You’ll not only learn how to defend yourself and your family in virtually any situation, but you’ll also quickly (and safely) build muscle, burn fat, and gain that enviable air of quiet self-confidence.

FAQ

The most frequently asked questions and answers.

  • WHY IS PEKITI TIRSIA KALI SUCH A POWERFUL SELF DEFENSE SYSTEM?

    How do you get out of an unsafe situation on the street in 3 seconds, using nothing but a mobile phone, a ballpoint pen, or a credit card? What prepares you for a fight where you aren’t physically stronger than your attacker? Our program is based on decades of research and development in the ‘real world’.


    The discipline, focused around the use of the blade, originated in the provinces of Panay and Negros Occidental in the Philippines in 1897 and was mastered by the Tortal family and handed down through generations. Our students learn simple but practical skills to first avoid but then quickly eliminate any threat they might encounter on the street.


    You’ll feel more confident, armed with the knowledge that you can handle any situation you might be confronted with.

  • HOW DOES OUR SELF-DEFENSE PROGRAM GET YOU IN SHAPE SO QUICKLY?

    Our self-defense program covers every component of self-defense and fitness. Through our classes, you will improve your cardio, strength, agility, flexibility, and endurance areas of fitness.


    It truly is a ‘total’ body workout!


    There is no other workout that is so complete and engaging!

  • DO I NEED TO BE IN GOOD SHAPE BEFORE I START?

    One of the best parts of our program is that every student is treated as an individual and will progress at their own rate.


    Each student’s progress isn’t measured against other students, but rather against their own previous performance!


    So even students who aren’t as physically fit as the star quarterback on the football team can have a wonderful experience in our program and become stronger, fitter, and more flexible.

  • AM I TOO OLD (OR YOUNG?) FOR THIS PROGRAM?

    The great thing about our program is that everyone is treated as an individual.


    We have students as young as 3 or 4 and as old as 94.


    Since every person is different, the best (and really only) way to see if our program is a good fit for you is to take advantage of one of our web specials and try it for yourself!


    I’m 100% confident you’ll have a great time!

  • EXERCISE IS USUALLY REPETITIVE, SO WILL IT BE BORING?

    Our program is FUNDAMENTALLY different!


    In a typical ‘exercise’ program, you may be getting a good workout, but you’re really not ‘learning’ much of anything.


    Our programs will not only keep you excited and motivated because of the high-energy nature of our instruction, which always keeps the class fresh and interesting, but you’ll also be learning real practical skills that could one day save your life.


    Our students find this learning process incredibly engaging and challenge them to truly “master” their technique. I guess this is the reason our students stick with our program while previous workouts have failed them.

  • HOW MUCH TIME DOES THE TRAINING USUALLY REQUIRE?

    We know how busy your life is, so our program is designed for the ‘busy’ person! Students can make exciting progress by attending classes an average of twice a week.


    Some students will want to attend more classes, and that’s great; we have options for that!

  • HOW DO I KNOW IF THIS PROGRAM IS A GOOD FIT FOR ME?

    Really, the only way to know if our program is a good fit for you and/or your family is to try it for yourself!


    We have some GREAT WEB SPECIALS, so you can try the program with no strings attached and see with your own two eyes how the program will benefit you or your whole family.
