What

Fluid Fighting Systems is a training group based in Southern California (Orange County) that’s dedicated to giving students the concepts and training needed to defend themselves in real-world scenarios.

We specialize in the Filipino combat art of Pekiti-Tirsia Kali (PTK), which involves the use of and defense against blunt, bladed, and bareknuckled weapons. PTK is a versatile system that lets the user adapt to a wide range of scenarios — everything from a robbery by a knife-wielding thug to a barroom brawl involving multiple aggressors. And thanks to its extensive use of triangle footwork and flow drills, PTK is great for overall fitness and provides muscular conditioning and joint mobility.

During our classes and workshops we often cover the following:

  • Footwork
  • Common angles of attack
  • Street effective defenses
  • Reality-based knife/club drills
  • Empty-hand strikes

We can also teach the following on a private, or semi-private basis:

  • A Southern Shaolin hybrid system called Lai Chung Chuan Fa
  • American kickboxing
  • Women’s self-defense
  • Kenpo Karate
  • No-BS, reality-based combatives via our sister organization, Tiga Tactics

With this diverse background, we can also create customized combatives to meet your specific needs or those of your club, organization, or agency. Contact us here for details.
