Instruction in PTK-SMF
Instruction is led locally by James Nohinek, teaching within the PTK-SMF system as developed under Grand Tuhon Leo T. Gaje Jr. and continued through Tuhon Tim Waid.
Instruction emphasizes how decisions are formed in motion — through timing, contact, and consequence.
Training develops judgment by working inside real exchanges: resistance, and structured sparring that preserves tactical truth without artificial cooperation.
