grand Tuhon Leo T. Gaje Jr

The Pekiti-Tirsia Kali system is an authentic Filipino martial art  formulated and perfected by generations of the Tortal family of Negros  and Panay islands. The family patriarch, Grand Tuhon Conrado B. Tortal,  passed this system and its attributes onto his only grandson, and sole  heir, Grand Tuhon Leopoldo Tortal Gaje, Jr.

          Today, Pekiti-Tirsia is trained and executed in combat and  survival by military operatives, law enforcement officers, and citizens  across the free world.

          The strategies, tactics, and techniques of Pekiti-Tirsia  Kali are ancient in origin, yet so advanced that its fighting values  always remain current.  The mastery process of Kali is the magnificent  obsession of the true warrior. Pekiti-Tirsia is a system that protects  those that dedicate their lives to its philosophy, values, and  precepts.    

Grand Tuhon Leo T. Gaje, Jr. is the Chairman and  President of the Pekiti-Tirsia Global Organization (PTGO) and presides  over Pekiti-Tirsia national organizations across Asia, North America,  and Europe.
