Discover the Top 3 Mistakes People Make in Self-Defense… And How Pekiti Tirsia APAC Fixes Them

Most people think they’re ready to defend themselves—until they’re tested. At United Studios Progressive Martial Arts, we’ve seen three critical gaps in the way people train for self-defense. That’s why our Pekiti Tirsia APAC program is built to address them head-on.

They Train for Sport, Not Survival.

Many martial arts schools focus on point-based sparring, flashy techniques, or choreographed drills that only work in the safety of a controlled environment. While these can be beneficial for fitness or discipline, they often fall apart under real pressure. APAC is different—it’s a modern evolution of the traditional Pekiti Tirsia Kali system designed for life-or-death situations. There are no points to win, no referees to stop the fight. Every technique we teach is grounded in combat realism and tailored to work when the stakes are highest.

They Trade Blows Instead of Controlling the Fight.

In real combat, exchanging hits with an attacker—especially one armed with a knife—almost always ends badly. APAC teaches the “No Trade” philosophy: avoid taking damage at all costs. Students learn how to enter safely, control the weapon, deliver a finishing attack, and exit without harm. These four elements are drilled until they become second nature, because in a real fight, hesitation or miscalculation can be fatal. APAC gives you the mindset and tools to dominate the encounter—not survive by chance.

They Don’t Pressure-Test Their Skills.

It’s easy to look great in drills. But will your technique hold up against a resisting opponent? Under adrenaline? In chaos? Most martial arts systems never find out, because they don’t pressure-test their students in realistic scenarios. In APAC, every technique must pass through force-on-force testing, stress drills, and resistance-based training. We create situations that simulate real danger—because that’s the only way to be truly prepared for it. You won’t just learn techniques—you’ll know they work.
