Tradition & Innovation

We believe Pekiti-Tirsia Kali is a living art, constantly evolving thanks to its growing community. At Black Flag, we also like to teach Doce Methodos to preserve the traditional art and respect our lineage.

Serious but not ceremonious

We train hard but want to have fun. We like to pressure-test our techniques but stay humble. We leave the attitude at the door and express ourselves with respect, an open-mind and a constant white-belt mentality.

Forging your own path

The diversity and complementarity of our disciplines are designed to be relevant to your mission whatever that might be; traditional martial art, self-defense, full-contact stick fighting, or tactical and combative applications for professionals.

Promoting Filipino Martial Arts

We aspire to promote and develop the practice of filipino martial arts in the province of Québec, for both civilians and law enforcement force. Reach out to us if you want to start a study group, join PTTA association or organize a seminar.
