Guro Doug welcomes Agalon Njoli Brown, Mandala Rich Howe, and Mandala Jason Jones. We discuss their upcoming event in New York City "Allies 2023". We discuss how they started this concept of senior pekiti tirsia instructors supporting one another and why they choose not to involve any "Tuhons" in their event. A solid episode with some real heavy hitters.

After some time off I am back and coming back STRONG with Guro Terryl Richardson. We talk about his famous uncle who competed in the 1968 Olympics, his time with the legendary Dr. Moses Powell, and about how he began training in Dagoc Arnis System (DAS). 

I'm Back! This episode is a fun one with Rob Pagan and the always entertaining Paulo Rubio. We discuss the various training methodologies in the pekiti tirsia kali system and which methodology is the best. 

I'M BACK and this season opener is a great one with Datu Kelly Worden. We discuss his time with legends like Remy Presas, Jesse Glover, Ernesto Presas, and Leonard Trigg.
