Pekiti-Tirsia as a fighting system respects all other FMA styles and system as long the teachings are within the structure of truth and decency. To convey the image of the Filipino culture as a martial Arts it projects discipline, integrity, prestige, honor and fedility. This is the true elements what the filipino culture is all about. The truth shall be the image of every instructor, teachers regardless of style or systems.
The best school in terms of Discipline is the BOLO DISCIPLINE, BD trains accuracy and precision . This is the true Pilipino School of Discipline because from the begining, the art of perfection is the top subject where no mistakes , a mistake is a blunder , to get a passing grade , you must score 100% below the top score you will die. The final examination is a test mission to meet the enemy and make a score of 100%. Perfect Discipline is what is needed to claim that you are a practicioner that anything that is said all about FMA cannot be questioned.
Pilipino art is pure Edged Weapon with interpretation to non -weaponry but optional in nature.As a matter of practices regardless the blades design from the Ginunting to Talibong or Parang and kampilan Kirs or barong , the mastery in handling the blade will always ends with accurate result-DOA.
The Bolo Discipline is the inner soul of an FMA true practicioner . The Bolo is the extension of his life, he sleeps, he cradles , he carries it all along his journey wherever he goes and whatever he does. This is the true tradition.
In the Pekiti-Tirsia, our in-depth discipline is to respect others provided they respect us, We love them those who hates,we adore those we believe that they live in an adorable life, we care for those who needs care and we extend concern to those who needs concern and we offer our hands of hospitality those who are less in life. But the bolo discipline is the shield against disrespect, against trouble makers and against blasphemy towards the FMA. We take the oath of allegiance before the altar of our forefathers that anyone that disparage, take advantage of the FMA names, stealers and corruptors shall not be forgiven and we will maintain our position to the very last drop of our blood that we will never forgive them .
We should set an example, we should be the Gentlemen of the FMA. We have been oppressed for more than 330 years, our original Pilipino names were transfered to the animals, our Pilipina women were abused and taken as comfort women, our young children were taught to be non-Plilipino, our land were titled under the name of Queen Isabela of Spain, we have nothing as Pilipino except the BOLO as our only asset and the use of it.This is the fact of the true Pilipino culture.
No one should question what is the bravery of the Pilipinos because even General Douglas Mac Arthur , Commanding General of the war in the Pacific made his last statement while he was delivering his speed before the joint session of the US Senate and US Congress" GENTLEMEN I PROMISED THE PILIPINOS "I SHALL RETURN BECAUSE YOU GIVE ME ONE MILLION PILIPINOS AND I WILL CONQUER THE WORLD" The greatest thing to learn in the FMA Fighting culture is how BRAVERY AND COURAGE be a part of your civilian life. Let us not forget that in the learning process , knowledge must be acquired , with knowledge comes wisdom . The wisdom of courage and bravery is the key to the real success in the learning of the traditional, indigenous FMA. There is no diploma that says you are brave , the diploma is inside of you plastered in your heart and in your bulls.
Pekiti-Tirsia reminds everyone who are living today that we live by performance because we believe in the truth, the truth is Pekiti-Tirsia is hundred per cent pure Pilipino, all the ingredients in terms of techniques have been put into laboratory, tested, proven and it cost lots of lives to perfect one technique.
Here in the Philippines Mandala Rommel Tortal before he became the official Resident Instructor of the Philippine Marine Corps, he was tested in the course of Combat Scuba under the Force Recon Marines, joining the regular force Recon marines who regularly trained was a task leading to dangerous experience.Combat Scuba is a special training where you will swim for 10 kilomerters with hands and feet tied in full battle gear and to navigate under 80 feet of water under the harassment of the Dive Marine Masters. But at the end Mandala Rommel Tortal gained respect from the officers and men of the Force REcon Marine because of his unique bravery and courage present in his bloodline, bloodline of the Tortal's family, among the 40 , he is one of those passed in flying colors including other courses of the Force Recon Marines.
Pekiti-Tirsia always set an example , we don't talk if we cannot do it, we only speak for the truth . Since the art of Kali is a sacred art, above all others we give our highest respect.
As the FMA grows into the greater area of responsibility, we invite those who wants to be purified and make the practice of the FMA a Professional one not a fly by night or title seekers for money, ego searchers and manufacturers of a style. The truth will always the way that lying will have no place in the Pilipino culture.
