Excellent video explaining the diamond footwork (45 degrees angles). It really made sense. Practicing with that in mind adds a whole new perspective to my FMA. Thank you Tuhon!

Is it possible to translate Pekiti Tirsia towards the tonfa weapon, and if so how would that work?

[@lighthavenindia]

Yes it is possible to translate Pekiti to any weapon. I have seen my teacher Grand Tuhon using the Tonfa. The same principles apply to any weapon as long as you compensate for the weapons characteristics. Is it an edge or impact weapon, how long is it, what shape is it etc etc. I don't know how to give you a clear way of using the Tonfa with Pekiti principles over a text reply like this. And I also don't have access to one currently to make a video about it. If you're already familiar with Pekiti then I'd suggest using the Tonfa like a stick, then using it like a long knife held in the Pakal Grip. When I say using it I mean holding it still the way it is meant to be held but in one configuration the Tonfa is extended away from you and in the other it is covering your arm. Play around with it in this way and you should get some clarity. I'm sorry I can't give you a clearer answer in this medium right now. The next time i come across the weapon I'll make a video on it.

Great video Aditya! As always! (A little PTK secret for you: CUT OFF a foot of the enemy! Why!? ---> No foot no footwork! ;-) )

[@lighthavenindia]

Thank you. Cutting off the foot is an option for sure, if you set it up properly and can do it safely.

[@GeeDeeONE]

@@lighthavenindia sure! I have a bunch of feet hanging on the walls of my mansion in the jungle ;-) (just kidding!) Keep up the good work, thx for all the videos! :-)

What is minimum age for learning Pekiti Trisia Kali on line sir? Thanks for sharing vedio

[@lighthavenindia]

Minimum age to train Pekiti under me is 21 years of age. Other teachers have different age criteria
