The first touch of the European success was in the early 90's when the two brothers ACHIM AND ULI WEIDLE from Germany came to Negros Island joining the group in attending my Knife training Camp for ten days. Bacolod as the Capital City made the preference in going to Mambucal resort 25 minutes travel from Bacolod City. In that ten days event, both brothers were fascinated and that was the start of the arrangement that Uli will be appointed as the official representative of Pekiti-Tirsia in Europe based in Germany.

From the training and the background understanding of Mandala Uli Weidle, The gathering of the first few students in Pekiti-Tirsia was the beginning of the rapid growth that the first seminar held in Reutlingen. Germany was attended by almost 70 martial Artist coming from different discipline also from different States of Germany and neighboring countries.

It was an amazing growth that it was necessary for Uli and Achim to have a training centered in Reutlingen to accommodate the growing numbers. In about 3-4 years Pekiti-Tirsia Kali European Organization had expanded to Sweden, Switzerland, Luxembourg,but had spread to neighboring cities in the Southern Germany. My presence in conducting seminar was a yearly basis and the coming to the Philippines by number of students made the culture of Kali a major element in the discipline of training both in theory and in practice.

The presence of Mandala Uli Weidle in the Philippines made his advanced studies in Pekiti-Tirsia an excellent materials for the students to enhance the development skill in short cutting the number of years .It was the leadership of Mandala Uli that the attraction to join the Pekiti-Tirsia Kali as the leading FMA in Europe.made to expand to Italy, Chec Republic, Finland, Bulgaria, Austria and Spain.

Every year was a PTK camp training year or an intensive seminar where all the students in Germany coming from no less than ten chapters filled the spacious schools where the students can sleep and rest for the night and trained by day.

Several major events to include PTK festivals in REutlingen and an open Kali tournament held in Reutlingen. became the Entertainment of the Year.This promotion of PTK explains the presentation of the Filipino culture among the elderly and active members of the community. It was an attraction so unique that the combination of filipino cultural dances was a hidden manifestation that the early filipinos had the Kali as a fighting art.

The greatest success of Mandala Uli Weidle was the invitation to teach the Austrian Cobra Commandos that today, Pekiti-Tirsia Edged Impact WEapon Tactical Combat Course is now included in the Commando School as regular training program. The two Cobra Commando Instructors were here last year to have the first experience in the training conducted by me on one to one basis. The result of their evaluation was satisfactory determined by their own personal touch discipline that by next year a delegation of police special unit will come to attend the special commando training in cooperation with the Force Recon Marine Elite Unit.

Pekiti-Tirsia Kali Europe Organization presented PTK as a pure Filipino Fighting art from the Doctrine of Philosophy to the Doctrine of Ideology. Mandala Uli Weidle teachings spectrum had been consistent from Weaponry to the Open Hand and in between the Doctrine of Knife Culture became the bread and butter of the Institution.

For more than ten years PTK Europe had grown from the TIP of Uli's fingers now to the neighboring lands were the measuring gauge is his feet much needed to get an exact development report.

Two years of PTK summer camp training at the most coveted Island of Ibiza Spain, visited by tens of thousands of European Tourist every year, PTK was in the middle among the many where the PTK students were housed in the most beautiful resort with nothing to regret. Uli's resourefulness to have this unique opportunity made the history of PTK as the first FMA in Europe to be in the middle of the super rich tourist in a Super Rich Island of Ibiza.

The success of PTK in Europe it is because the feelings expressed by the students before they registered was the fact that PTK being the original fighting system pure and with combative discipline was exactly perfect to their sense of evaluation and understanding what is martial arts is all about.

Now today Uli's burden was the growing demand from other States, cities and towns of Germany , how can PTK can be in their own area. This is the fruit for being pure having the blessings of the forefathers who by the presence of their Spirits makes things easy for ULi in all his activities to accommodate the chance of a lifetime in every moment of the day.

Now that he is the father of a Handsome Boy, the future is secured having a filipina wife surrounded by PTK students.
