Featured Book
Angles of Survival is more than a martial arts manual. It is a journey into the heart of a living legacy.
Forged in the jungles of Negros and tested in the crucible of war, Dekiti Tirsia Siradas is a blade-focused Filipino martial art rooted in close-quarters combat, quartering tactics, and a philosophy of survival through movement.
From World War II guerrilla resistance to modern military, law enforcement, and civilian training, the book explores the lineage, structure, and spirit of DTS through edged and impact weapons, knives, groundwork, and empty-hand methods.
