Typhoonic Power of Pekiti Tirsia - cross-steps, spirals, jumps and rotations with Uli Weidle and Arun Michael Trefz

The Pekiti Tirsia system makes extensive use of spirals and rotational energy. In the Philippines this is sometimes referred to as the typhoonic power of Pekiti Tirsia.

Already in the foundation level of the training Pekiti Tirsia practitioners use cross steps, spirals, jumps and rotations as exercises to improve dynamic balance, hitting coordination, spatial perception and overall fitness. Also decision making power and other mental qualities are effectively developed with these exercises.

Advanced practitioners use these tactics and methods in actual combat as stepping feints, for making efficient use of territory, or as emergency manoeuvres. Especially useful are those methods when fighting multiple opponents.

On this weekend the trainer team Arun Trefz and Uli Weidle will teach exercises to develop and then learn how to use the ‘typhoonic’ power of Pekiti Tirsia.

ARUN MICHAEL TREFZ: equally enthusiastic for martial arts and dance Arun found in the work of Pia André New Dance and Stick Fight the possibility to combine both. soft–hard, fast–slow, playful–serious, vulnerable–confident.

He was fascinated to explore the mutual qualities between martial arts and dance, like for example the basic principles of space, time and timing. Thrilled by stick fighting he decided to dig deeper into the Filipino Martial Arts.

After having experienced Ju-Jutsu, Muay Thai, Capoeira and Systema he discovered the Pekiti Tirsia system which amazed him with its abundance of topics and possibilities. In the Pekiti Tirsia system he found uncompromising self-defence, meditation in movement, benign health development, life appreciating philosophy, serious sport, social work, violence prevention, character development

He also performed in numerous dance shows, theater performances and fire shows in Germany and abroad.
