Is One Month Of Concentrated Training Enough To Learn The Basic

[HANGAWAY]

HI i PLAN TO GET TRAINING IN BACOLOD WITH NENE TORTAL WHEN i WILL HAVE MY VACATION IN BACOLOD. i WONDER IF A MONTH OF CONCENTRATED TRAINING ILL BE ABLE TO MASTER THE BASIC OF KNIFEFIGHTING OR THE STICK.I AM NOT A BEGINNER AT SELF DEFENSE AND I DO LOT OF SPARRING
WITH A PADDED PLASTIC TUBING, PLASTIC KNIFE, TO SIMULATE ACTUAL UNRESTRICTED MOVEMENT OF ACTUAL COMBAT. WE DO IT FULL SPEED AND POWER. I DEVELOP MY SPEED, REACTION, FOOTWORK AND AWARENESS TO DANGER TO A DEGREE i THINK BETTER EVEN TO SOME PEOPLE WITH TRAINING. I USUALLY CARRY WITH ME A 21 INCH EXPANDABLE BATON OR A 3INCH POCKET KNIFE. IF I TRAIN WITH PEKITI TERSIA U THINK ILL BE ABLE TO HANDLE MULTIPLE ASSAILANT IF THERE IS NO OTHER OPTION FOR ME EXCEPT TO FIGHT TO THE DEATH. I DONT WANT TO HAVE FALSE SINCE OF SECURITY THATS WHY I CARRY WEAPON ALL THE TIME. ANY LOGICAL COMMENT IS APPRECIATED.
THANK U

Hi Hangaway, welcome to FMATalk!

First please do not TYPE IN ALL CAPS. This is the equivalent of shouting.

Congratulations in your upcoming training! I think you are going to enjoy it very much. I also train in Grandtuhon Tortal's lineage of Dekiti Tirsia Siradas. He is a brilliant man with a lifetime of experiences to sharee.

You will be able to get some exposure to knife and stick fighting, but one month is not enough to master the basics. However, I would still encourage you to make the absolutle most out of your time with GM Tortal that you can.

Keep in mind that dealing with multiple attackers is one of the most difficult, and dangerous, situations for any martial artist, including those with law enforcement and military backgrounds where not only do they have to fight for themselves, but also must fight for other people. You can learn some techniques in Dekiti Tiersia Siradas, but they will take time, patience, vigorous training, and a skilled teacher to learn.

Thanks man, ill probably do it this year i choose training with knife cause its combat effective since man began to use tools during the stone age until this internet age knife claim more lives, and injury than any other kind of weapon. learning to use to depend yourself and others as well as learning to deal with it i guest is really a sound self defence training.

You're very fortunate to be able to train with him--he's great! I have certainly learned great things about the knife from him.

Is One Month Of Concentrated Training Enough To Learn The Basic?

I'd say more than enough time to learn all the basics. Mastery is another matter though.
