Chris Mandigma is the Director of training for Tirsia Tactical
Chris Mandigma is an internationally-recognized authority and law enforcement trainer specializing in defensive tactics and firearms integration.
Chris builds doctrine around pressure-tested control tactics, force, and decision sequencing under operational pressure.
His technical base draws from Muay Thai striking mechanics, Jiu-jitsu positional control, and Pekiti Tirsia Kali blade and impact-weapon methodology. He translates these systems into law-enforcement-specific training that prioritizes situational dominance, weapon retention, rapid threat assessment, and repeatable motor patterns suited for duty environments.
