Over the past five years, I've dedicated myself to the art of Pekiti Tirsia Kali, training with Mandala Rich of Train Kali as part of the Makilas group. Within the Pekiti Tirsia Kali World Federation, I've earned the title of Lakan Guro.

My journey began in the Philippines, but I was raised in the state of Florida. My passion for understanding and preserving my heritage is the driving force behind my unwavering commitment to Kali.

In my pursuit of Kali mastery, I adopt a holistic approach, melding the realms of knowledge taxonomy, science, and art. My training places a significant emphasis on the art of effective note-taking techniques.
