  • silat from indonesia not malaysia!!!!!!!

  • @riferable what are u trying to prove..did u really know??..better u learn silat n master it instead of talk rubbish

  • they remind me of the characters from Army of Two xD

  • Comment removed

  • @NenekAtuk89

    its not silat but kali or eskrima also known as FMA. Used by German, Russian, and US Navy Seals as their primary training for close quarter combat. Also used by Matt Damon in Bourne movie series. It's not Aikido, Wing Chun, Krav Maga or Silat. ITS KALI FMA.

  • Comment removed

  • there are sources that stated Liam Neeson used silat in the movie 'Taken', anyone can confirm it? as i know, in 'Taken', Liam used 'nagasu-do'....

  • Oddly, I learned a little bit of my first Silat in a Taekwondo academy. To say the least, just learning a pistol disarm and a choke got me hooked on this martial art. This is such an amazing martial art.

  • hahaha. even japanese manga admit that silat's from indonesia. just read History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi chapter 183. love it !!

  • @kambkers

    what prove silat from indonesia...

  • isn't Silat the same as Arnis or Eskrima?

  • Silat originally found at Sumatra, Indonesia. use wikipedia

  • nak tahu silat indonesia mcm mana , search [SUKAN SEA 2011] Perlawanan Pencak Silat Paling Sengal

  • "They had a challenge for us".......xD not aa single episode on human weapon that i dont hear this setntence

  • This documentary, Not only they mistakenly said that Malaysia is the birthplace of Silat, they also said Malaysia is an island nation. Since when? LOL... just look at the map, guys.

    "Birthplace of silat" and "Island nation".. only Indonesia fit both description.

    These guys obviously looking for Indonesia but landed on Malaysia instead.

    Their guide must have failed in history and geography at school. :D

  • @sempoyon82

    what the prove show silat from indonesia ?

  • @EXSoldierrity

    Silat is product of the ancient Malay culture which emerged from Sumatera and Java (now Indonesia). Many silat schools in Malaysia traced their root in Indonesia/Indonesian people.

    For example, one of the most popular school in M'sia is Silat Gayong which grandmaster (Datu Meor) was of Bugis descent and his silat are known to traced it root back to a Bugis warrior. The Buginese are from Sulawesi, Indonesia.

    See also; "Gerakan Suci Mangkubumi" & "Silat Langkah Bromo" in Malaysia.

  • @sempoyon82

    then what the prove that silat from indonesia ?

  • @EXSoldierrity

    Can't you read my answer?.. which part you don't understand?

  • @sempoyon82

    u just say that silat is malay acient culture...

    even if u say malay people come from sumatra...

    but that still doesn't prove that silat from indonesia...

    mostly white people in America come from uk....

    is that mean cowboy is culture from uk ?

    even u acient malay kingdom were found in sumatra...

    but that still dun prove malay people come from sumatra...

    correct me if wrong...

  • @EXSoldierrity maybe malay poeple aren't from sumatra, but, can't people move from place to place ? moreover indonesia and malaysia aren't far ! maybe silat masters from Indonesia came to malay and taught some malaysian students. then, malaysian students improve and changes silat moves and creats new silat style. even indonesia itself has many silat styles you know ? european has cowboys too right ? if i'm not wrong, they named it vaquero. maybe it's the origins of cowboy ?

  • @kambkers even u dun sure where malay people came from. from what i know. there are strong evidence show that the 1 st malay kingdom located in sumatra. but that still dun prove malay people come from sumatra. probly they come from other place and build a kingdom in sumatra. yess people can move from other land. and i can say the same about silat from malaysia. then indonesia people come to learn silat from malaysia people. Malaysia also have a lot of dfrent style too.
  • @EXSoldierrity

    The Malay civilization was from Sumatera. It's was in Srivijayan era that it's found it's way spreading outside of Sumatera as the kingdom expanding.

    Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese belong to the same race, but it's the culture that distinguishes them from one another. Same with SEA, it's the culture that make Malays different from Thais or Cambodians. And based on all historical evidence, the Malay culture and it's people indeed from Indonesia's Sumatera.

  • @sempoyon82

    what the prove that malay civilization from sumatra ?

    there a probly come from other place and build a kingdom in sumatara.

    we never know and what the prove that chinese,korean and japanese from the same race ?

    malay is race while thai and cambodia more like countries...

    they are totally different...

    and what the historical evidence that u say malay culture and people come from sumatra ?

    pls show me...

  • @EXSoldierrity

    I'll make it simple as possible..

    What defines a culture?.. The main characteristic of a culture is language.

    Let's start with the language.

    A Malay most certainly at least speak Melayu (and it's variant; Indonesian, Malaysian, Bruneian), right?..

    Now, where do we find the oldest physical evidences about Malay language.?.. Bingo, it's in Sumatera (even some from Java).

    Read Wiki about "Old Malay". There u can find all the evidence related.

    I can't bring them all here, impossible.

  • @sempoyon82

    defination of culture is not just languange "its the way of life" its contain writing,religion,music,cloth and many more...

    yaa...

    but dun forget The history of the Malay language can be divided into five periods: Old Malay, the Transitional Period, the Malacca Period, Late Modern Malay, and modern Malay. now the malay language been use by malaysia,indonesia, and other countries is using johor-riau malay dielect....

  • @EXSoldierrity

    I never said it just language.

    You're asking about the origins of Malay, so I gave you sample of evidence of "Old Malay" discovered in Sumatera, which PROVED Sumatera as the homeland of Melayu. Old = Ancient = First.

    It was during the peak of Srivijayan era that Melayu culture reached peninsula (Malaysia), which was initially dominated by Mon-Khmer culture group (Langkasuka, Kambodia).

    If you really are interested, google this : "Search for the Origins of Malay" by Leonard Andaya.

  • @sempoyon82

    yaa..

    then why u say The main characteristic of a culture is language.

    have u forgot the other characteristic just like music,religion,writing and other "way of life " ?

    if u say that Old malay from sumatra...

    then the New Malay is from malay peninsula....

    it was during the peak of Malacca era that malay culture reached sumatra...

    i already read some text of origin of malay by leonard andaya...and its really interesting..n_n

  • @EXSoldierrity

    I said "main" not "only".. can't u see the diff.?

    I was trying to make it simple 4 u.

    Language is the best way to determine which one belong to which group.

    When u see 2 white man side by side, dress the same, how can u tell which one is Swedish, which one German?

    Reach Sumatera in Malaka's peak?, LOL.. where do u get that info?.

    Malaka imported evrything from Sumatera and "malaynized" the peninsula, not the other way around.

    Pls read the whole writing of Mr. Andaya, not "some".

  • @sempoyon82

    then if see a 2 latine man side by side dress with the different traditional cloth and speaking portugis.can u tell which one from Brazil and which one from portugal ?

    what ur prove that language is the main characteristic of culture ?

    dun u see the map of malaka kingdom ?some part of sumatra been under malaka till malaka.melaka not imported everything from sumatra while sumatra also import some culture from malay peninsula

    and pls give me the full text of andaya writing

  • @EXSoldierrity

    What you gonna do if both of them naked? :-P ... can you tell which culture they belong? :-P

    They have to talk first, by examine the language they speak, only then you'll know.

    LOLz.. u should check Srivijayan map and compare to Malaka's. Srivijaya is a Sumateran Melayu kingdom and much older than Malaka, it also covered the whole of Peninsula at it's peak. Srivijaya lasted for roughly 1000 yrs while Malaka only bout 100 yrs.

  • @sempoyon82

    then what if both of them naked,dumb and can't even speak.

    can u tell which culture and race they are ?

    there a lot characteristic to know which race they are.

    just like their fizikal,skin colour and their reaction with something.

    not just language.

    dun forget Malaka is the 1st malay muslim kingdom while srivijaya is malay budha kindom and malay culture have more influence of muslim then budha culture.

    like example is baju melayu,baju kurung and songkok

    in just 100 yrs !

  • @sempoyon82

    which question i dun answer ?

    u also dun answer all my question yet.

    soo u want to say that pasai or aceh people as part of malay people ?

    then all SEA people is part of malay people...

    becoz 1st malay hindu kindom not from srivijaya 7-13 century but it's langkasuka kingdom 4-14 century...

    if u want to say pasai language had been used to form malay writing.

    arabic language also had been used to form malay writting.

    is that mean arab people is malay people too ?

  • @sempoyon82 to be honest everytime u give a website like this. i dun know how to use it. becoz im dun use PC so mush,my english is poor and im not expert in history, i just study in Art but history still my fav subject.. anyway i search in wikipedia it say that langkasuka is the oldest malay hindust kingdom and what the prove show langkasuka and old kedah is mon-kmer and not malay ? yaa u a right but i think all theory come with logic just like theory about graviti need logic too

  • @EXSoldierrity i'm not an expert in histories. but when i tried to search 'silat history' at google, i found many info. just try, and don't click the link that contains human weapon.

  • @kambkers

    me either..

    i never denied or agree that silat from indonesia...

    that's why i ask 4 the proof...

    that's all...

    i just a man who love to ask a lot...

    it's nice to have a discussion with u...

  • @EXSoldierrity

    Out of all that what-known-today-as-Malay-worl­d, Indonesia is the place where u can find the majority as well as the oldest evidence regarding the Malay civilization/culture. From inscription stones to literatures mostly found in places that are now Indonesia. That clearly signifies that Indonesia is the HOME of the malay (civilization). That is the PROOF.

    If you really are interested to know more, you can google this instead : "Search for the Origin of Melayu" by Leonard Andaya.

  • @sempoyon82

    i already read some text about Origin of malay by leonard.

    im not soo good in english soo they some sentence i dun really understand.

    and it say that the first groups of humans, some of whom eventually became Malays, began migrating out of Taiwan in 4000 – 3000 BCE. Others have suggested eastern China as the springboard

    can u show me the inscription stone that show indonesia is the HOME of malay civilization ?

    pls show me the proof

    becoz i never heard "wau" in indonesia

  • @sempoyon82

    it's look like Leonard Andaya dun really know about malay culture and language either...

  • @sempoyon82

    but that the prove people of south east asia come from Taiwan...

    malay peninsula also the home of malay modern culture especially malay muslim culture..

    and malay peninsula is the the place modern malay muslim were born...

    the prove is in "Batu bersurat " in Terengganu during 14 century....

    the oldest malay muslim evidence in the whole SEA...

  • @sempoyon82

    what the evidences show Malay culture we know today come from sumatra ?

    prove that..

    if Batu Terengganu is not the oldest evidence of muslim in SEA.

    then can u show the oldest inscription stone about muslim in SEA ?

    what i know Batu Bersurat in early 13 century believed to be written on 22 February 1303 while substantial evidence of Islam in Indonesia begins only in northern Sumatra at the end of the 13th century..

  • @sempoyon82

    i dun confused...

    but the wikepedia it self tell that pasai was born in 13 to 15 century..

    when i try to look back...

    u were right...

    pasai been say as the oldest malay muslim kingdom..

    what a good info i get this...

    haha...n.n

  • @sempoyon82 then all people from SEA come from Taiwan... dun care what race and religion... am i right ? are u tired discussing with me ? sory 4 that... i just love to ask something that i dun understand... thats all... sory to disturb u... but u still dun have strong evidence to prove silat from indonesia... anyway just enjoy ur day then...
  • @sempoyon82 haha im sory but it seem all of ur proofs can't been read by me im the one who find ur prove i dun give proof becoz u never ask me 4 the prove im the one whos asking 4 prove not u btw i never say that silat from malaysia i just tell that mostly malay culture that been practice now mostly come from malay peninsula not just sumatra i just ask u what the prove silat from indonesia ? i see u 100 % sure that silat from indonesia... but till now u can't prove it...
  • @sempoyon82

    like u say...

    youtube not the suituble place to discussing...

    i prefer in facebook...

    what do u think ?

    this my e mail...

    syah.kiva@gmail.com

    and what kind of prove u want me to give u ?

  • @EXSoldierrity

    Regarding Silat, One of the oldest trace about Indonesian MA is "Canggal Inscription" dated 732. It tells about a king named Sanjaya who was proficient in martial art. Bas reliefs of Borobudur (8th century) shows gestures of ppl doing "kembangan/bunga" of Silat.

    Then, it is mentioned in old manuscrpts such as Pararaton and Nagarakertagama (14th century) that Kings of Singashari and Majapahit have a unit of elite warriors trained in martial art Silat, called Bhayangkara.

  • @sempoyon82

    haha...

    is that mean that footballl is UK tradition game just becoz the oldest Football Association from uk ?

    Silat is also Malaysian Martial Art....

  • @sempoyon82

    dun blame Malaysia...

    History chanel not belong to malaysia but it's belong to America..

    soo u need to talk with them...

    and i try find history of silat gayong or silat gayong indonesia...

    but i never found one...

    what i found is silat gayong malaysia...

    and in malaysia we have a lot of style silat gayong...

    like example is silat gayong fatani and silat gayongman gerak satu...

    and most of them were created in malaysia by malaysian people it self...

  • @sempoyon82

    heloo ?

  • 2 days a week?

  • Silat is everywhere in the Asian region BUT Silat Suffian Bela Diri (SSBD) can only be found in Brunei Darussalam. Correct me if I'm wrong.

  • Origin silat are from Indonesia . but , after this martial arts has arrive at Malaysia , the Malaysian Fighter has make a new move .

  • @kritiktanahmelayu what the prove show silat from indonesia ?

  • Lmao! 1 in every 5 Malaysian is trained in a so called killer martial art silat!? If that is the case, I expect your country to dominate MMA, amateur and professional boxing, K-1, kick boxing and all those fighting sports. Where are your professional fighters? All I can hear from you are nothing but badminton champions. What are your silat fighters doing?

  • @101ers77 silat is created to cripple,paralyze and even kill your foe you fucking idiot.it is not created for sports.but only a few trained for silat tournaments.you're just a fucking idiot who just doesn't know anything about silat

  • @101ers77 1 in 20 maybe, but still, most don't enter competitions, Silat trainings differs greatly from faction to faction, competitions just generalize them all, thus specialties like clawings, weapons(some silat specifically train in this) are generally forbidden

    Malaysia isn't easily conquered, the kings surrendered(who wont with western fleets on their shores), but the people fought to death, stories are written about them, a reason why the "west masters" never cared to fight new invaders

  • @fanthor LOL! Isn't easily conquered? History reveals that you were so easily invaded by the Nips during WWII. A certain Nippon General got assigned in Malaya which was so easy to conquer which made him a tiger.

  • @101ers77 Then you failed to learn history.. WW2 was long after the malay rebellion died down after 200years. its not by magic that the conquerors keep changing

    anyway, just saying, you're an idiot, italy got easily conquered by rome in just a few years, is italy cities wusses? no, they just didn't expect attacks from inside their lands

    same thing in WW2, nobody expected the japanese to attack from land, most of the army was in singapore, with cannons facing the wrong way

  • Lol! Fended off foreign invaders? Silat is a joke. Everyone knows Malaysia didn't expel 3 global powers. They were easily conquered by the Portuguese, Dutch, British and Japanese, they were given liberty by the Brits who just got fed up with people who seems incapable on fighting colonizers and communists. Brits saved Malaysia from the communists in the late 50's. Stop twisting your history. There's no such thing as thousands of silat fighters dying for your independence in '57.

  • Where is this school located? Is it possible to train full time as a non-Malaysian?

  • Where is this school located? Is it possible to train full time as a non-Malaysian?

    

  • Debus Banten in indonesia = Ilmu Kebal in Malaysia

    Kanuragan in Indonesia = Petapa Zikrullah in Malaysia

    well, Indonesia and Malaysia is more like... the same. What are you Indo and Malay fighting for actually? Just stop the fight, don't you see you're the same actually?

  • I jumped thru the ring of fire I think I'm insane...

    mwuhahahahaha you is crazy clown

  • see Debus Banten first... then you'll know one of the crazy aspect of Silat..and its only in Indonesia

  • Tell me that I didn't heard them saying that they came toa country where Silat is born...

    Disappointed after only quarter watched this knowing they didn't come to my home country where Silat is really created..

    If they want brutal... come to Indonesia!

  • @9am3r what the prove that silat from indonesia ?

  • @Guam Komudo

    yeah , but the bad police gonna have a great money making waysss...ain't it?

  • Its like the krav maga...

  • @koalalumpar In Malay history, the first teacher of silat was Hang Tuah, a legendary warrior/bodyguard of the sultan in the 15th century. The thing is Hang Tuah is rumoured to be a chinese warrior along with others such as Hang Jebat given to the sultan by the emperor of China back then. Therefore silat is a actually martial art derived from chinese kungfu/taichi.

  • @koalalumpar I think if there is a country in different forms with other countries even though from the same Austronesian family would already have a basic cultural difference as well as north korea and south korea is valid as well as Indonesia and malysia although from the same Austronesian family. silat, dance pendet batik, reog, remains of Indonesia, what is true capoeira from Mexico even though the same be said of América Latina in brazil?

  • The blocks look very similiar to karate, for exampe the first block they did looked like Age-Uke.

  • Yay malaysian here. But yes silat i think comes from indonesia, our neighbour.

  • @acipshah what the prove that silat comes from indonesia ?

  • @acipshah yes silat come from indonesia, it's originally created by indonesian when netherland colonial era

  • @cr8zykill3r silat in my opinion is a bit more brutal than taekwondo. I wish there where classes here in southern north America I would defiantly like to give it a shot lol. I'm a 2nd degree black belt in taekwondo. I've been to summer camps and all sorts of tournaments love the martial art. Hope you have fun :)

  • I am a bit new to this so...is SIlat the same as Pencak Silat just a shorther name or is there a difference? ^^"

  • @MurusHierrago

    it is the same

  • @MurusHierrago pencak silat is from indonesia.....malay silat (not juz silat) is from malaysia

  • I don't know if I want to do Silat or Krav.

  • @92benno92 why not practise both and make a new style of martial art :D

  • @GuamKomudo try defending yourself in the UK, my sifu once actually told us slapping someone might be a better idea than punching them...that's not him being stupid, that's the problems with our ridiculous criminal system. if you punch someone in self defence you may end up getting arrested yourself

  • silat is indonesian martial arts..

  • silat is indonesian martial arts..

  • @okecoyy also malaysia martial arts..

  • thats really good thanks silat

  • the animated moves show that the programmer has no idea of martial arts, shame

  • I'll stick to Muay Thai. Sports based arts such as muay thai prepare you for real combat. Nothing prepares you for fighting like fighting. Punching air and having people throw specific moves at you so you have a counter pre arranged doesnt cut it. The muay thai clinch is the most unpleasant place on earth to be, taking heavy knees.

  • @koalalumpar but silat from indonesia

  • @HendraBrawijaya the prove is ?

  • Proud to be a malaysian

  • i hope there will be more martial arts program like this

  • im sick of all these no martial art is better than the other its about the fighter theres like 50 of these comments on every fighting video we get the excluding some faggots

  • @NoMansFighter

    another fag....why don't u post a video about a fight between you and a silat fighter...

    all kind of martial arts are good,their moves suits their people's body size,culture etc....pffft

  • @lagubrok92 Opinions are like arseholes..everyone has one. However i personally think that ANY martial art that is sports based is better, because, quite simply..they condition you tof ight. punching air and practicing moves in slow motion and knowing what move is coming at you, as most demonstrations entail , does not prepare you fro real combat. Muay Thai, my sport, prepares you for fighting because quite simply, as i've said..nothing prepares you to fight better than fighting.

  • @LCStreetPhotographer

    surprisingly,ur words suits a chatterbox like u...muay thai still have an opening in every moves....n all kind of martial arts have their weaknesses....its not about what type of martial arts that makes you win in a fight,its about how good you are to counter any strike that comes to you....silat,muaythai,karate etc are useless if u are a chicken n panicking....pffft

  • @LCStreetPhotographer you should throw some brazilian jui jitsu in there for a more rounded game you could be a great striker but once your on the ground you could be in some serious trouble.

  • @mattsoccerrules23 Thanks for the advice mate..its funny you mention jui Jitsu as i've decided to branch out from muay thai and have started training at South Coast Submissions MMA...i can utilise my 17 years of Muay Thai there and am also learning elements of BJJ, Judo, Boxing, sambo, savate and others to give an all round blend. Got a good stable of pro and semi pro fighters there of which im aiming to become one.

  • @LCStreetPhotographer sounds like a pretty intense workout hope it pays off for you.

  • @LCStreetPhotographer Very good philosophy. But the methods used in sports are important as well. I think a good combination of the two is best: the repetitive moves through the air condition your muscles into moving that way, and strengthen them, but they've got no combat application if you don't practice in real fights. Moreover, learning to fight is good, but learning good technique is essential to being a good fighter. they complement eachother.

  • silat is ok but i don't think it is better than eskrima especially due to the fact that eskrima is more leathal and better than silat.

  • @NoMansFighter he made a martial art called jeet kune do which is a hybrid martial art ( a little bit like mma ) he was a complete fighter he had good hands, good kicks and a good ground game ( which shows in his martial art ) he didnt rely one 1 move which shows that u kno nothing about bruce lee.

  • @NoMansFighter bruce lee is the best fighter ( hand to hand fighter in my opinion ) of all time he was a orignally a street fighter who could kick any kicboxer ass

  • @swordfreak that is what i'm saying

  • @koalalumpar Its practiced in Malyasia, Indonasia, and the Philipines, What i dont understand is that when i see this Silat and the one i see from people like Herman Suwanda and the De Thouars Family it looks VERY diffrent this silat looks alot simpler.

  • @Mider999 its very different and simpler because in the Malay tradition, Silat is not supposed to be taught to foreigners..thats why the Gurus altered the technique a little bit

  • @sdurgefafd wish they taught this in america they probably do but not just anywere wish i could find this in Austin, Texas

  • the deadliest combination i know so far is muay thai, brazilian jiujitsu, silat, and sambo. i tried incorporating all three into sambo and it all got carried over easily. i recently took up sambo though.

    

  • @codenamevengeance i can top that deadliest combination Kali, silat, krav maga, systema, P.c.r if u have these big 5 you probably will be one of the most deadliest people in the world

  • @asianboi1004 I can't argue with that. that's a really versatile combination. then again, i've been taking krav maga up as of late. not to mention kali is mandatory in PE class here in philippines.

  • @codenamevengeance wow? they teach u how to fight in school?

  • @asianboi1004 well, they just teach us eskrima and arnis/kali in gym class. it's part of the curriculum.

  • hey man silat is not from malaysia, its from indonesia, malaysia just copy that from indonesia. silat is originated from jakarta, and its from the tribe known as betawi. they had found that martial art hundreds years ago

  • @zexar95 silat bukan dari betawi doang, seluruh wilayah di indonesia punya style masing2.

  • @zexar95 what ur prove ?

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • why do they have to wear that stupid hats

  • indonesian and malaysian are part of south east asia, as well as vietnam, thailand, lao, but still different countries

  • after seeing this, i think that the pencak silat episode on Fight Quest is better

  • Is that the guy from Waterboy?

  • i learn a silat....silat is best martial art in malaysia

    

  • actually we dont really know which arts influenced which arts cus there is no concrete evidences and we really dont know about the past histories of martial arts,but lets look at present day,ok for the question of about who influence who,if you see youtube you can find alot of masters incorporate and blend silat into their whatever system they study to make it more deadly, pratical and efficient,i take one example of the krambit,some martial arts now incorporate krambit into their system

  • those hats look silly lol

  • All martial arts are 100% Equal, there's no style better than any other, they all have infinite techniques, though some may be limited to certain types of attacks (like boxing or judo), they are all equally deadly if used correctly, and are all good defense mechanisms. Even if boxing or judo are limited in attack types, the fact they work 100 times more on those than any other style makes them just as scary as any other.

  • Watch National Geographic's Fight Masters about Silat.It'll tell more about Silat Gayong than Human Weapon.

  • hitting or kicking a downed opponent is a "technique"?

    After watching this I can't say I'm very impressed with Silat. So far they showed Karate like robotic choreographed moves (this is what they teach at the local Mc Dojo in America) that are highly unlikely to work in real life combat.

  • @DeltaMartialArt Let's just say Silat regardless of Malay or Indonesian is simply a mixture of certain aspects of Chinese and Indian Martial Arts.

  • @Armando93Mendez It has origins from those places ofcourse. But it is still very unique. Not necessarily a mixture but i agree it has its roots in those areas.

  • No offense to Malaysian Silat. its great. but i would have liked to see them go to indonesia and see their silat. Many of Seni Gayong's techniques are similar to karate. Harimau was an excellent choice of silat style to display. I feel like Its very different in Indonesia

  • @koalalumpar This art is practised by Malay lands mainly Malaysia,Indonesia,Brunei and Singapore.What youi meant by Malay archipelago I assume that includes the Phillipines,Guinea and Timor Leste.I have to agree with that

  • @dreadl0rd00 Well,some Silat styles are influenced by Kung Fu.That's why,Silat movements may look more like the moves in Kung Fu.
