[Silatbule]

One of the best demonstrations of sapu that I've seen. Thank you & terimah kasih:)

[PendekarBobbe]

@Silatbule; Thanks for watching, glad you got something out of the vid!

Hi.. Im a malay and how u explained my traditional art is simply beautiful.. Thumbs up to u, man..

[SenseiStrange]

I enjoyed this very much. It is a very different flavor of foot techniques.

[koalalumpar]

you teach silat in america ?

and what style?

[jmr296260]

Man ever since i have been watching your vids im addicted you have the best teaching skills i have seen in a long time. I know you told me theres know students on east coast . so what about putting out instructional vid, limb destruction first since ive been a very big fan of. have a good one.

[ThePendekar]

I have not seen such expert teaching in America before. Are you the only one who knows this material? Why do others not share what they know, or do they just not know it?

Some of the best explanations of the practical use of Sapu. Excellent job.

[PendekarBobbe]

Thanks!

very helpful, great demonstration - with the knee locked out rather than sapu, can you drop straight down for a leg break? just wondering if thats an option

[PendekarBobbe]

Of course! If they're off balance, it's pretty much open season, in my opinion. I just prefer to lock the knee as a prerequisite BEFORE sapu...Or anything else.

Thanks for watching!

[haniffali]

thanks, i have been trying to learn principles of silat for a while now and this really helps. anyone know any silat teachers in daytona beach or area, fl, let me know.

[NKcel]

that´s great thanks so bad that your not in my country definitive i´ll be your student

[sirsuper66]

on the topic with what you were saying about the bigger motion sapu's i've found is that people with good balance can step over and out and regain there balance at the end of your fancier sapu.

[PendekarBobbe]

To what end? Just adding more motion to it? Make it look prettier? Striking a pose?

Don't tell me a thing is possible, I already knew that & I never said it was a question of balance in the first place.

Tell me why a thing is NECESSARY. I am more interested in winning the fight than I am in dancing the dance.

[dinswok]

don't worry mate. He's just misunderstood how to do sapu. Sapu is done as a 'surprise attack.' Silat doesn't do sapu all the times. Nice video, Cikgu!

[2006chrissy]

[Barrywilliams66]

Truly outstanding, you are the real deal!

[nomadicstar]

Good stuff! Very informative. Keep up the good work.

[dreamcastII]

good work here. You have good teaching skills.

[conradbui]

This is a Guru with a LOT of knowledge! Hope to meet you one day. The platform in the back is COOL! Hint, hint. :-)

[combatives]

When I teach Sapu I do make a point that shoewear does make a difference. What you wear and what your opponent wears. They all offer different levels of weight and traction, especially as applied to the sapu. Good stuff Bobbe.

[combatives]

Great explaination.

[knifekali]

Hey Bobby,

As always,great work; thanks for demystifying

this simple concept, which often is shrouded and convoluted in order to appear mystical.

[boarski]

A master of skill.

A master of instruction.

Truly one of the greats. thanks and please keep the videos coming.

[myownschadenfreude]
