[bearpath100]

As a Rick Faye/Dan Inosanto student I know good technique and teaching when I see it and Guru is top notch. Silat is one of the most effective arts I've ever used in a street fight.

[KenichiGunFist312]

silat suffian bela diri.... Its for protection. i'm a bruneian and i am proud of it. i wanted to find all kinds of different styles. but this is the one i chose. for my country! go brunei!

[idham1994]

[johnofthehunt]

Do hold regular classes, or primarily teach through seminars?

[yuikkiuy]

um is it safe too teach it to any random people i mean all ur techs kill so do u need them to have clean record or something

[OGthegame]

spectacular

[sonoflurch]

wow, this is amazingly good, i want to learn this:D

[tgf76]

i see a lot of kung fu /jkd in the style. Silat looks cool.

[ArthusofAzeroth]

@tgf76 yup i know a very rare style of kung fu called white tiger kung fu that has a lot of similar movements and attacks. my teacher has even borrowed a few ideas from silat to help train us and make us even better at what we do. and the stuff works. one of my fellow students has had to use it in actual fights on the street once or twice and has completely destroyed the poor guys lol

[kuntaoer]

Maul is most definitely high speed and low drag in his silat.. I wish I was able to train with him and gain exposure into the Brunei kuntao systems.. It is a pleasure to see the kuntao from different areas of the world..

Maul is one of the best guys I know and consider him a friend in the silat/kuntao community..

[wael77]

This is such brilliant stuff. And as a student of Hapkido & Jujitsu, what blows my mind is how well it meshes with what I know. For example I see setups for classic Jujitsu throws, but instead of throwing, Guru takes out the knees and smashes the face. I wish I could spend years of my life just learning this art.

[anonymousbecause]

@wael77 I was thinking the same thing! Crazy awesome stuff here.

[noahnuhdino2]

i recomend you to remove your email from description.cuz you might be hacked by some one.

[KrakenKingKong]

his nickname should be "Darth" Maul...

[rizalzenbudo]

see on 0.30 he plays his hands very fast without moving his hips or body, or even changing his position at all. That's totally Philippino Arnis' style, doesnt happen in any of Indonesian's Silat.

[coldwatch]

WOW! another know it all... There are hundreds of Filipino Martial Arts and thousands of Silat systems in south east asia alone, not to mention in other parts of the world. You actually think that you know how to differentiate ALL of them? Have you actually met "ALL" FMA and Silat Masters before making this claim? I think not. So its good to keep certain claims to yourself to avoid embaressment, this channel is read by millions internationally, most of them might be more experienced then you :)

[rizalzenbudo]

well i am an indonesian and happen to learn a few Silat styles. I also learn very little doce pares escrima here in indonesia. Regardless, you are right, my knowledge is very limited, i only expressed my opinion. My apology :)

[rizalzenbudo]

or maybe it's better than Guru Maul answers himself and say that his Silat is pure Bruneian and not influenced by FMA or aiki jujutsu at all ;)

[coldwatch]

Funny that you mention that. Guru Maul travels around the world and has met many masters. He is regarded as one of the best blade masters among Silat and FMA Intructors around the world. Go to his website and read his testimonials. Tuhon Pat o''Malley (8th degress Rapid Arnis, 6th degree Doce Pares), Tuhon Ray Dionaldo (FCS Kali), Bob Orlando, Guru Eric Kruk, Guru Jak Othman, and many more has respect for him. Funny that people from his own region tries to put him down. Jelousy I bet.

[coldwatch]

And also, with the very little Doce Pares Escrima that you know compared to Tuhon Pat O'Malley who is a 7th Degree Blackbelt Rapid Arnis and 6th Grade Black Belt Doce Pares Eskrima.

Its always those who know very little who thinks that know more :)

[rizalzenbudo]

wow, is my english that bad that you didnt catch what im trying to say? we admire guru maul so much here. he is like an idol for us, a living legend! what i am trying to say is his silat is way too advanced and sophisticated that we think it is not pure malay silat, it's already influenced with FMA and many other arts that he masters. i never say anything to doubt his awesome skills!

[coldwatch]

Its funny that you look down so much on silat, and try to give credit to other martial arts. Just because its advanced and sophisticated, you assume its not pure silat. Silat is an ancient martial art, FMA has roots in silat, not the other way around.

[rizalzenbudo]

It's even funnier you always put a negative spin on everything. U sound very senile.

i never look down on silat. Advanced & sophisticated way of an art doesn't make it more useful or better than the others. Silat that i know is very fast, dangerous and powerful yet very artistic in its own way even with simpler techniques. My family comes from a long root of Acehnese silat. My ancestors used it in War

I am done arguing with you. Ask Master Maul yourself whether Silat Suffian is pure silat.

[rizalzenbudo]

dear Coldwatch, because of you, i tried to find more info on silat suffian. Many people see it the way i see it, it looks very FMAish.

Master Maul described a historical aspect. the site says that Brunei brought the root of FMA to Philippines before King Lapu-Lapu's or Spanish' time which was during Ten Datus period (1240 A.D. and 1380 A.D). If this fact is right then you are right that Suffian doesnt incorporate FMA but is the root of FMA. No points to argue about this though

[coldwatch]

Let me illiterate, those who dont really know FMA will only look superficially and say that it looks FMA. And will always try to say that it is and looks FMA.

[rizalzenbudo]

Im confused why you're so hostile about? what are u trying to accomplish by arguing so hard over nothing????

How can u even try to compare me with Master O'Malley? i am a white belt in Doce Pares sir :))

[rizalzenbudo]

this is not pure bruneian Silat. Bruneian, Malaysian and Indonesia's SIlat have the same typical techniques no matter their titles.

Guro Maul's research and extensive knowledge or other arts is very obvious. You can distinctly see Philippino's arts influence in his techniques. eventhough he bases his style on Bruneian Silat, I dont think his teachers in Brunei has the same skills and techniques

[panospapanikolaou]

wonderful art.

[kract76]

brutal..... i love it

[diolade2002]

i cant believe how much i am addicted to these videos, essential knife disarm is amazing.

[diolade2002]

COLD BLOODED

[azxasin]

malaysia and indonesia hav the same teqnique in silat =D

[purbanegoro]

His bela diri is nearly as good as an Indonesian, though we Indonesians, as inventor and master of the art are the best exponent.

The problem is we do not teach full bela diri to civilian- it is dangerous and even enlisted men die in training.

The Court city of Cirebon in Sunda- West Java has very good school that offer teaching to Westerner- and their English is good.

Indonesian police or soldier will not train any civilian- esepcialy aWesterner..

[WarriorBlackBanner]

yeah, thanks for tell us about your secert dangerous fighting art. the rest of the world wish we had your secret skills. prove what you say, not what your daddy told you and don't tell me about that flowery dancing you do.

[Gurobuzz]

It is so nice to see so many videos of great techniques, concepts , and ideas. Please, do not let the nay sayers stop you from sharing your art, your time, and your experience with those who truey respect what you are showing. Salamat Po Guro Maul

[purbanegoro]

You mean: Selamat Pak Guru Maul.

[silatk]

Very nice! thank you!

[siarnulfo]

Maul, after seeing your video I'm now interested in silat...where is your dojo? do you have a dojo in Singapore? Thanks!

[MrButterscotch1]

I haven't seen much Silat (I do Muay Thai) - but I really like what I see here. Very interesting combination of strikes, takedowns and blocks/defence.

[heedup]

I do Silat but I have respect for Muay Thai. YEAH, WE ALL GOT SOME GOOD SELF DEFENSE. Many variations of Silat. Now, Muay Thai, what's the deal? There's like Muay Thai Boran which is more of the art right then there's just the fighting, Muay Thai, right?

[purbanegoro]

Muay Thai is for Western retard who cannot master basic Silat.

Indonesians Bela Diri close quarter combat soldier can kill a Thai soldier within 20 seconds. We routinely do joint training. Thai soldier Muay Thai is not a good combat art. It is Chinese BS for gambling only- lie Western professional boxing

[7Matahari7]

I see a few names here that are also respected in the Silat community, I appreciate this channel and teacher. I am pleased to see other teachers showing so much class and respect, you know who you are and so do the Silat players. Terima Kasih!
