Radius Factor ⚡️Self-Protection & Preparedness
⚡️Situational Awareness
⚡️Integrated Combatives

08/05/2026

Body language, pre-threat/threat indicators, and immediate action.

Train ambidextrous movement and overall agility for self-protection.

Pekiti-Tirsia striking mechanics, range, timing, rhythms, attacks, footwork—including empty-hand parries and traps to support the success of the weapon-bearing arm.

Live-blade, btw. Not a training blade.

It’s comical when those without relevant experience criticize mechanics or function. “Oh, I would just… blah blah blah.”

Or the “hE’s HoLDiNg tHe kNiFe wRoNg” 🥴

99% couldn’t counter the knife strikes demonstrated here, let alone within 6ft.

Three main points:
🔸 1. Learn to be efficient with a “daga”.
🔸 2. Learn what the movement does aside from “cutting” (ie. the arm-as-weapon vs blade-as-weapon at the same time).
🔸 3. Learn how to perceive what most would see as chaotic movement.

Otherwise, you aren’t outmaneuvering and countering schite, mate.

Oh, ohhh, wait, and don’t give me the “No-one-attacks-you-like-that line.

All are angles, strikes, rhythms, ranges, and maneuvers.

Learn how to see them to counter them with a quick, core understanding while armed or unarmed… even if it means detecting and running.

If you want to increase your perception (visual/physical/spatial sensitivity), footwork, agility, judgement performance and influence other aspects of self-protection and combatives (using a specific training method inside of Pekiti-Tirsia) this training will do it.

Most times trained within inches of the target without protection equipment, which is the only way to truly respect a strike and is part of the live-blade training methodology—controlled, measured, decisive.)

It heightens your senses.

Btw, the target is primarily the hand/wrist, forearm/elbow, bridge of the eyes, centerline, and the occasional leg (then the finish).

It can also easily be simplified to a fast and powerful forehand and backhand strike to dominate against anyone without the knowledge and skill.

Thus, the valuable transfer to virtually anything in your hand.

Without the perception, judgement and decisive action, you can’t protect yourself from dynamic attacks—especially by that of an edge.

Put it in your repertoire.

Self-protection 101: don’t cross the road without looking both ways—especially if you’re too busy flippin’ off somebody.

Some straight up Pekiti-Tirsia Kali yesterday morning at Valley Forge National Park during a private session.

Learn to move, learn to see, and learn to apply—all while rewiring your brain.

It’s an endeavor that makes the craziness of the world disappear for two hours and get into a flow state. (That is, if you’re fortunate enough to have the opportunity to do so).
