Harimau Pencak Silat - Maha Guru Speaks

[underdacorridor]

silat is malay special weapon...

so only for malay...

[tarmizieanuar]

I'm Malay, Minangkabau blood runs through my blood.But I was born in Malaysia.Been in Indonesia to visit my ancestors in Pagar Ruyung.

I'm a silat student, for me...Silat comes from the Al - Mighty.All we got now are His blessing.Different country reflects different arts.

[silverskull79]

kurozeo and jameskorst both of you are really wrong. Learn the martial arts or find a real master and ask him.

[iisnecis]

indonesia dangerously beautiful

love pencak silat very much

[TeamWuJin]

I rarely comment on youtube. And I rarely give 5 stars as there is just so much rubbish on here! But, I cant help but say- That was a beautiful speach! What takes me 2hrs in a seminar to explain and demonstrate you just did in 4 and a half minuets. Amazing! I love the indonesian silat and its approach. You have the EXACT same approach as my sifu- The hell speech etc. AMAZING! 5 STARS!

RESPECT!

Kind Regards

is him Muslims???

[kunderemp]

irrelevant. Silat had exist before Islam came to nusantara (Indonesia-Malaysia). We have Langkasuka, Srivijaya, Majapahit, etc).

[minangabau]

as a guru of this art,the history of all southeast asian arts have the same influence,the sriprivit empire,a south indian art brought over during the conquest of most of S.E ASIA ,from siam to cambodia,vietnam to phillipines and java,mixed in with local arts and then were influenced by chinese styles-you can see this in similarites particularly between silat and kali-they are related to a indian art once called veram-which is said to be a mix of greco-persian and indian marital arts-

[alopz89]

[silatyogi]

Great Mindset for Silat.

Thanks for sharing.

[Athirah01]

Silat was invented by the Malay stock (race) from Malaysia and Indonesia. Remember Hang Tuah and Hang Jebat from Malacca and Taming Sari from Java? Now we have a Silat Mahaguru from Ghana. Silat is really going international.

[carbonlaminate]

Yeah, but I think it was influenced by Chinese and Indian arts: baqua and kaliapriyat. Not to take anything away from it, however.

[silatk]

Yeah!! But in Indonesia and Malaysia they put their essence wich is what makes their silat very effective and aggressive!!! Nice

[flying8speedistra]

Not true there are secrets passed on only by word of mouth about its origins, and it predates the arrival of Indian or Chinese immigrants or even Hindu and Buddhist influences in the region. Many forgotten legends resemble lord of the rings involving an ancient elven race that taught the arts to the "servants". For instance, not even many Malays realise that Adi Petra was a wizard or that Sang Persanta Nala was not really human. Thus the keris is unique to Malays

[jameskorst]

i think u are referring to "kebatinan" or the spiritual aspect of silat? Sang Persata Nala was not really human? thats the 1st time I encounter this kind of statement.. can u please, elaborate? i know persata nala was a javanese, but not really human? hmmm.. thats a new thing 2 me. n moreover, the "elven race" that taught their arts, i think its more towards kebatinan, plus nowadays as most pesilat embrace Islam, most of them said these "elven races" are Jinns. correct me if im wrong. :)

[kurozeo]

james, are u malay? how did u know about these? not the jinns, its 'bunian' they really exits. some of the pencak silat are more like shaman warrior, they can possessed great strengh and speed from a spirit

( like u heard about a ghost possessed in a person body unwillingly, try imagine when they are the one who summon and willingly to be possessed and all actions are on thier command )

[Athirah01]

Silat is created by the Malay sock.

[diirtburns]

I had the good fortune to train with Guru at a seminar back in the '80's. I saw him drop people like flies. He has a headbutt to the groin (from the ground)that really made an impression on me..He is awesome to watch !

[slimdaoist]

nice video , good to see other brothers in the martial arts doing their thing in their own way .

[rein1227]

To be honest I like the moves, and I respect that he is not using combat folder, such as stick, knive, etc like any other silat video's.

[shengchenfan]

Dude,I'm not trying to be anal.The proof is in the pudding.Your doubts about what he does can only be anwsered by Having him show you in person.

[dinswok]

wow... I do Silat Gayong (a malaysian system). In my opinion, most Indonesian styles used animal-like movements.

[movingrocketlauncher]

grrr...tiger rulez
