Pekiti Tirsia Rochester Pitbulls

The Pitbulls are dedicated to practicing the art of Pekiti Tirsia Kali to its highest potential. Pekiti-Tirsia Kali is a combat system of fighting. Combat is about the utilization of weapons - not empty hands. Pekiti-Tirsia Kali follows the same characteristics of Filipino Martial Arts where weapons are instructed first then progresses into the advanced stage of empty handed fighting systems (boxing, kicking, grappling, ground fighting).

Zen-Do Kai Martial Arts International

The ZDKMAI (Zen-Do Kai Martial Arts International) was established in 1969 and is directed by Michael J. Campos, 9th Dan. Initially the ZDK was established to service those individuals who had trained under Sensei Campos and were establishing their own clubs. Eventually outside instructors began to inquire about ZDK affiliation and in 1974 we began accepting instructors from other styles and systems. Today the ZDK has members in many states in the US and in several foreign countries.
