Your ability and skill level will be a result of your diligence on top of your natural physical strengths. The system trains these universal attributes and develops them in everyone. The system will work for anyone regardless of differences in physical attributes and ability. However, this does not imply that one could equal an opponent that has more in-depth training and experience in the system.

This ability enables him to formulate specifics systems for the Military and Law Enforcement based upon their professional and operational environments, and to individuals in a way that can bring to functional combat effectiveness in a very short period of time. Grand Tuhon Gaje has been titled no less than a genius when it comes to his teaching ability by many throughout the martial art world. He credits the system of Pekiti-Tirsia and the genetics including both the physical and mental faculties he inherited from his Grandfather. Grand Tuhon Gaje many times has lectured me personally on the training received from his Grandfather and how he was taught to teach the system. The system was handed down to him by his grandfather Grand Tuhon Tortal in the form of the Doce Methodos, Contradas, and advanced combat methods such as the Contra-Tirsia Dubla-Dos and others. The more you train, research, and advance in the system, the more this will become evident.įirst, Pekiti-Tirsia is not a combination of other styles and Tuhon Gaje did not develop Pekiti-Tirsia through training with other systems as even some Pekiti-Tirsia instructors imply. There is only one system of Pekiti-Tirsia that Grand Tuhon Gaje has consistently instructed since he began publicly teaching the art in 1972. Many of these errors come from a simple lack of extended training in the system, yet some of them are malicious attacks on Grand Tuhon Gaje by former students who could not perform, lacked the discipline to continue training, or possessed an ego that would not permit them to continue to train.

Unfortunately, there are still many misconceptions about the history, formulization, and training methods of Pekiti-Tirsia and Grand Tuhon Gaje. They are also not a comparison or reflection of the training methodology of Grand Tuhon Gaje. “Old and New”, “Abecedario and Functional” are misnomers and are incorrect classifications of the Pekiti-Tirsia system. There is much more to add but will answer them as others reply. These are my comments on the previous discussion of the system and training of Pekiti-Tirsia. Post subject: One system of Pekiti-Tirsia Here is a letter posted by Tim to explain the PTGO vs the "old school of PTK" and was doing to "evolve with the changing times" work on PTK and as a result of faithfuly following and giving up years of his life and service to Tuhon he was granted and shown the methodos and then some. These were also the years when Tuhon was away from the U.S. Tim lived in the Philippines with Tuhon for over 7 years, He went there after already being a student in PTK under BIll and other players but wanted to also further his understanding of PTK and the science of the system. Whatever your interest, bagua is an amazing practice and one of the greatest gifts from Taoism.No one takes away any of the skills or knowledge of Bill Mcgrath or Tom or anyone who studied under Tuhon in the old days but just as thing evolve so has the methodology of Teaching. If you can Master the Art of Change, you will become capable of overcoming obstacles in your life and allow happiness and joy to emerge from within your being.

Bagua zhang practice is about learning to flow with change rather than against it. The Energy Arts program emcompasses all three applications of bagua zhang: martial arts, health and meditation.īagua zhang techniques are based on the I Ching, a 5,000-year-old text considered the classic Taoist bible about the nature of change.īagua is also a container for the 16 neigong or “internal energy components,” which is the basis of all Energy Arts programs.Ĭhange is at the heart of life. In the last several hundred years, bagua zhang has become known as a powerful internal martial art, but it is equally effective as a health and moving meditation practice. Bagua zhang (Ba gua chang/Pakua chang) is an internal energy art even more ancient than tai chi chuan.īagua zhang was developed 4,000 years ago in Taoist monasteries primarily for health and meditation.
