| Grand Tuhon Jerson "Nene" Tortal - A true spirit of a grandmaster |
| on Wednesday, September 10, 2008 - 11:10 PM CET Posted by : admin |
 Grandmaster Tortal, we call him "Nene" as he is known, is in USA giving series of seminars to his students. You can check the details from his web site www.dtskali.com . I become a proud student of grandmaster in 1998 in Manila while I was living in the Philippines. He is also my God father and accepted me as a lifelong student. A small selected group of students and friends, we could train day and night where ever we found an empty spot.This could be an open empty car park (at nights) site in the middle of Makati City, sea side spot along Roxas Bouleward in Manila and also our usual training hall. It was important for us that once we got hold of grand master, he trained us. I don't recall him turning us down for any reason, if he was available he always come along and we enjoyed his company  immensely. We travelled to events for demonstrations, trained young people at the universities and enjoyed every bit of it. The Dekiti-Tirsia Siradas System is an ancient Filipino combat and survival system indigenous to the island of Negros in the Visayan Region of the Philippines. This fighting art is very combative with emphasis on impact and bladed weapons as well as empty hand techniques and even firearms. It has been proven effective many times in actual combat. The name of the system consists three words from the Ilonggo dialect. Dekiti translated into the Tagalog dialect is “Malapit” of “Dekit”. In English it means very close or near. Its emphasis is on close quarter fighting in which you corner the opponent in an area, to close and devastate him. Tirsia means “gua sa wala” or “sa tuo” or quartering in fighting, “pasulod”. It means to push the enemy to a corner or an area with a three-corner side preventing him from escaping or running away from multiple deadly blows and thrusts. Siradas means to stop your opponent from getting in or out, for the opponent not to be able to penetrate in any angle of attack. |
