Zdeněk Chmelík

He began practicing martial arts at the age of 16 in a Jiu Jitsu club, which he attended for over ten years. In 2007, he was intrigued by Grand Tuhon Leo T. Gaj’s documentary Surviving Edge Weapons, which led him to Pekiti Tirsia Kali (PTK). Thanks to his teacher, he discovered that this art could be trained in Prague, and since 2008 he has regularly participated in training sessions. He trained with Tuhon Uli Weidle and Grand Tuhon Lee T. Gaj. When Tuhon Weidle introduced Armadong Kali as modern self-defense, his path was clear. Today, he works as an instructor in Prague and Brno and is a member of Pekiti Tirsia – Armadong Kali Czech Republic.

He has been practicing martial arts since he was 15 years old. He first spent 22 years intensively practicing Shotokan karate, then switched to Muay Thai and kickboxing, which he practiced for another 13 years. In February 2020, he attended his first Pekiti Tirsia Kali seminar focused on knife fighting, which excited him so much that he has been training regularly ever since, attending seminars and private lessons under the guidance of Aleš Brunner, the head coach for the Czech Republic. In 2022, he founded his own Pekiti Tirsia club, Armadong Kali, in Ústí nad Labem, which is growing very successfully and is beginning to create a new generation of fighters.
