Jason Jones – PTK (Pekiti Tirsia Kali)  instructor

Jason Jones is a co-founder of Wyoming Combatives and began studying the martial arts in 1989 as a freshman in high school. He first began training under Mr. Jim Dean at Pineda’s Kenpo Karate in Green River, Wyoming, a Tracy’s based system of Kenpo. Mr. Jim Dean was Jason’s instructor until 1994, promoting him to first black before moving out of the area to complete his bachelor’s degree. During his time at college Jason took the opportunity to train with local Tae Kwon Do, Shotokan, and Kara-Ho Kempo schools, as well as taking in some Kodokan Jui-Jitsu in Colorado. Jason moved to Rock Springs, Wyoming in late 1995 and became a student of Mr. Willie Pineda. In the following 8 years Jason learned the upper belt material from Mr. Pineda and was promoted to 2nd and eventually 3rd degree black belt by Mr. Pineda. In 2007 Jason received the rank of 4th degree black belt and was certified in the system of Tracy’s Kenpo Karate under Mr. Milt Guinette. Shortly after, Jason was also promoted to 4th degree black belt in Pineda’s Kenpo Karate under Mr. Jim Dean.

In 2004 Jason also began studying the system of Pekiti Tirsia Kali under Mandala Jared Wihongi of Salt Lake City, Utah. In 2007, Jason was promoted to the rank of Lakan Guro (beginning instructor) under Mr. Wihongi. Jason continues to train in the system of Pekiti Tirsia and attends multiple instructor level seminars around the country throughout the year. This has given him the opportunity to train directly under such people as Grand Tuhon Leo T. Gaje, Mandala Tim Waid, Tuhon Phil Gelinas.

Jason continues to attend classes and teach at Pineda’s Kenpo Karate in Green River, Wyoming and also teaches a select group of people from around the area Pekiti Tirsia Kali.
