Differences between Atienza Kali & Sayoc

[lorenzodamarith]

Dear Guro Steve L,

Thank you for your help and i will start training, i am really interested in learning the sword art. The art Perkti Tersia what is that like? also does sayoc cover the mass attack?

best regards

BT

hello,

mass attack? pekititirsia tends to emphasis this idea a bit more (in the way it is taught). the concept of "the threes". at a high level, one must be capable of sparring/fighting (meaningfully) with three opponents.

thanks.

hello,

well, covered a similar question in a different thread (pekititirsia vs krabikrabong).

differences between sayoc/atienza/pekiti. mechanically, near identical. atienza tends toward larger weapons. sayoc toward a larger number of "passes"... flow. pekititirsia tends toward aggressive range control with a mind for multiple opponents.

now, there are some differences. mainly it is in the overall curriculum structure. day one.. we work on this.... day 1000 we work on this.... each of the three has a slightly different sequence.

any are terrific. fearsome when you get right down to it. but all are worth learning. learn them all for optimal results.

thanks.
