THE RISING MABAGSIK
MARYLAND PTK BULLS
The time has come for the Ladra Clan under the leadership of Master Apolo and his brother Guro Bobby from the province of Batangas, Philippines to dedicate the remaining challenging years of their martial arts careers recognizing the mandate of their forefathers.
Batangas is a hotbed of the famous "Batanguenos", the hybrid Balisong Knife fighters of the Philippines. This mandate is a true Filipino culture expressed through the art of the explosive fighting power of "Kali" where the power kicks to the power punch are only the expression of what is the speed of the Kali blade energized by the presence of the Pekiti-Tirsia Kali System.
The presence of the true traditional indigenous art of Kali in Maryland will enhance the capabilities of every student regardless of discipline re-inforced by the philosophical power of the art expressed in its cultural values under the Doctrine of Discipline.
It is on this side of the planet, that the new birth of Pekiti-Tirsia Pitbulls comes to life with the vigor and strength of legions.
MABAGSIK is word with true Pilipino meaning- intellectually alert, physically hyperactive, deceptively smart, sneaky warrior, expert in hit and run, deadly in ambitions. When pronounced with emphasis, it sounds like the sounds of snoring giant. It ejects power from the deep breath and explodes with devastating damage.
As a unique of Pitbulls, the brotherhood of bloodlines will remain pure and genetically superior.
The quality of MABAGSIK is consolidated in the quality of The Ladra brothers whose name in the martial arts world are the unsung heroes unkown to those who didn't taste their speedy kicks but to those who knows and tasted their heels, they are heroes treasured as immortals.
The Ladra brothers are true Pilipinos from the famous Balisongs Province of Batangas where the famous Katipuneros who came from the hinterlands of Batangas manned the history of the Philippine revolution.
Today the Ladra brothers, Guro Bobby and Master Apolo, bring the word MABAGSIK to real life with real practices under the institutionalized teachings of Kali.
This Web Site will share information, activities, exchange of ideas, cultural research of more Kali history and to generate students of high quality values guided by talented Instructors.

I am finally back in town again. I was very upset to see I would be missing this once in a lifetime seminar! You guys are truly top shelf! I hope you have been well! God Bless!
hey man what are the dates of the PTK seminars next month is it the 20-21? I just wanted to double check so I know when to take off of work. also what is the starting time and the ending time.
I saw the "Human Weapon" the other night while flipping the channels. Kali is really "MABAGSIK" technique and almost broke the finger of Jason (the host). The man who fought Jason didn't even feel any pain at all. MABAGSIK nga talaga!.... in Pit-Bull lovers saying: " If it ain't a PIT, it ain't SHIT!" ha! ha! ha! Anyway, Cinco De Mayo is Tuhon's Birthday!!!! Pls. send my regards and greet him for me.
Kuya Apolo, I just wanted to pop in and once again THANK YOU for an EXCELLENT seminar!!! I plan on incorporating all that training into my training routine (once my sore body heals in the next couple of years or so......HAHA!!!) Anyway, remember, you now have a home in South Florida!!!
Kuya thats cool. I recognize that stick you are holding from class the other night. When Kali gets into your blood there is nothing like it. Its like chips, you can't stop eating them, lol. C ya soon
