Starting today and ending February 1st, 2025, when you purchase the following videos from the PTI store, the amount of the purchase will count as a prepayment towards the LTC Winter camp. If you can’t attend the camp, you still have some great videos; and if you can make the camp, you have time to practice the kind of material that you will learn in greater detail at the camp. It’s a win for you either way!

How long weapons, such as staff and spear, can help you develop speed and power with your shorter weapons, such as sword, stick, knife and hand.

I have been asked many times to give the measurements of the Pekiti-Tirsia long sword shown in the PTI logo. The information on the measurements was told to me many years ago by Tuhon Gaje. In this essay I will give the measurements for two swords, the long sword shown in the PTI logo and the short sword that Tuhon Gaje is often shown holding in the photos of him from the early 1980's. I am also including the measurements for training sticks and spears, as well as knives intended for use with Sak-Sak and Pakal grips.
