Martial Arts Odyssey: Tomoi Malaysia, Kru Jak (Part 2 )

[bratkotenka]

so i got it now why some disciplines cant be displayed in the ring like the philippine's kali. what u can watch here are demos. what i like about this guy is he doesnt say "oh muay is this, ours is better blah! blah! blah!...". he agrees to the similarities.

[bratkotenka]

interesting guy...

Antonio: Question for you: 1)How was the Malaysian cuisine? to your liking? 2)who would win in a fight: Daredevil or Batman?

[brooklynmonk1]

@momobena i had trouble finding a healthy diet of vegetables, fruit and meat. in malaysia, like most of asia, people eat a lot of rice and the indian vegetables are soaked in oil, completely devoid of nutrition. significant quantities of meet were not common. Batman.

Hey BrooklynMonk -- thanks for this. We've got a free-thinking Judo/Krav Maga-RBSD/Grappling/Striking training group down here in Indonesia. One of the guys is documenting traditional silat. My question was - why didn't Muay Thai reach island southeast Asia. This shows the link between MT & Silat. Some of Kru Jak's moves are very similar to sequences we've seen in traditional Betawi (Jakarta's indigenous ethnic group) silat down here. Sent the link to my buddy.

man i was in selangor 5 months ago i can practically smell it and feel the heat just from the sounds of the street

i love how he calls his teacher my old man

[silatyogi]

GREAT!

[Tagadagat]

Another great video.  I love Kru Jak's smile while he is training. It shows his love for the art.

[brooklynmonk1]

Yeah kru jak is really a special guy. when i go back to malaysia i will try and live in the same neighborhood so i can train with him a lot.

There's a hotel just 10 minutes walk away from the studio :o) It is clean and has sports facilities, gym, swimming pool, etc. About RM80-100 a night.

[brooklynmonk1]

that sounds good but i rented a room in an apartment next to the gym for $100 USD for one week. so even cheeaper.
