That's a generalization. You're talking about state laws. In California for example, hell yes, you aren't allowed to carry anything dangerous without special permission. However, in Arizona, i'm allowed to carry a Nepalese khukuri in public all i want. :) Also, we just got rid of that license law. If you are an adult with no felony convictions in Arizona you can buy a gun, load it, and carry it around in your pocket. ;)
@weltenbummler82 good point, in my home town we use knife and machete in real fight, and that is the truth about real fight `you use weapons`, because the pragmatic idea of using weapons in real fight is the same as if you want to dig a hole in a terrain, you want to do it fast with less effort...and what way you can do it? ..you use a tool (shovel if you want to dig ahole and machete for example for afight), so a person who use a weapon in real fight considerebely a smart person.
The obvious key to the technique is flow and mastery of your own body in space. This is some very good silat. I will certainly see if Sifu will be around my area in the near future.
The way I see it, you are a very good teacher bang Maul. Teaching wise, practical wise and tactical wise. May god bless you and your guru who impart these knowledge and passed it on to your students.
@gohstofmorrison go and see his video (I forgot the title) when he practiced how to deal with 2 opponents, youll see that he moved alot and the movement is the basic element in silat...keep browsing
i am no expert by any means, but have been fortunate to have received some training in a form of silat and the blade seems to inform EVERYTHING they do. frankly that little blade scares the hell out of me in context with silat. these folks were knife fighting against larger opponents since the knife was made! when they speak on it i listen. and keep in mind, they show you what they want you to see as they were constantly infiltrated by dutch spies, etc. it's a game within a game. much respect.
lol, just pick the guy's hand off?!! sorry, but in a real right where people are moving and weight is being shifted, this isn't going to work. everything here is based off a stationary attack...in effect kind of useless
@GhostOfMorrison it wont work if u dont know what ur doing or if u pause then its already too late, unless youve ever had someone pull a knife on you & had to defend ur self your comment is well kind of useless too, no offense.
@DjRodimusPrimeXyZ How is my comment useless? The training of this 'technique' is based on a slow moving mostly stationary attack that the guy is expecting. If this were a real fight with a real knife, it would be moving MUCH faster and with a lot more strength added into the mix. To just stand there and pick the hand off will get you killed by the other hand swinging the knife.
Martial arts needs to wain itself away from teaching set techs. No fight or fighter is the same as the previous one
@GhostOfMorrison u just answered ur own question dude lol, first of all of course the technique is taught at a slow pace, if it was taught fast at first it would make no sense therefore it would serve no real purpose. its taught slow, then it is sped up, so no offense to you, i have practiced some of these moves when sparring with friends and i dont move slow, so i have a better idea of how the techniques would work in a real fight if i had to use them of course.
@DjRodimusPrimeXyZ Ok, so you've tried it with friends/sparring partners. I'm sure that their attacks weren't meant to do the damage that would be caused in a real fight. And i'm sure you instructed them to do exactly this attack...so you were expecting it...which is why it worked. The sheer fact that he stays in front of the blade is the first problem. A knife, when used to kill, moves much faster than an eye can follow.
@GhostOfMorrison to answer your question, yes my friends threw punches accordingly, but they do hold back somewhat, because its sparring lol. Ive chopped one of them in the forehead on accident, but it was a slight tap, but its all about the speed in reacting time, just like in wing chun, you're there b4 they are, thats how i practice. check out this vid, there some good silat channels on youtube aside from this one, check this one out /watch?v=8bLkG8t5lC4
I've studied too...since i was 7. I've done hard styles like this and i've done soft styles too. What i've learned throughout my years is that staying same position during an attack will get you hurt or killed. There NEEDS to be movement like in Jeet Kun Do, Aikido, and Kosho Ryu. To expect to be a good fighter by staying put and blocking is a pipe dream. Remember, the best self defense is ALWAYS no body contact...though your strikes have to connect to something lol
@GhostOfMorrison right on, i learned karate at the same age only for a brief time, but i was taught to never be still when an attacker approaches, which was precisely what i needed, because like most kids in elementary they are picked on for being different, and i was forced to use what i had learned in the dojo on bullys, long story short, they left me alone after that.
i can see the others had formal training in varying martial arts. this was a great video. the guy really knows what hes doing. he is clearly no mc dojo teacher and can show even advanced people a thing or two without every part of it being staged.
to clarify, the sarong is used also as a first aid kit,we say in Silat that if you fight with blades you will get cut,so the sarong is used as a tournique to stop blood flow e.g arterys,rolled into a ball to stem blood flow from stab wounds,also as a make slings for breaks,plus other uses.About the boxin vs silat there is a Malay style Tomoi Silat which is a combination system of Muay Thai and silat from the Nth Malay area,looks a lot like TonyJaa type of fightin-just to confuse you more
@TheSilatiger :yup, sarong is a multipurpose outfit, just like batik in indonesian region.From the day a man born until his death,they always wrapped in batik in any kind of way
thank you for teaching me how to release if someone hold us in 0:52 - 0:55 this methods is also good and useful for woman to protect herself from attacker in the street.. thank you...
@SaInT1185 silat has many branches, keep studying videos until you see the style that most appeals to you, then see who is closest to you. study the history, this is not an art form that was watered down to suit tournaments and children, you will know which form you prefer when you see it. it may be a blend, or a single form. best wishes in the arts..
kerambit is a small hand-held, curved blade from southeast asia particularly the Malay Archipelago Called karambit in the Philippines and also known as a kerambit in Indonesia and Malaysia, i
n history soldiers in Malaysia and Indonesia were armed with a kris at their waist and a spear in their hands, while the kerambit was used as a last resort when the fighter's other weapons were lost in battle its also was popular among women who would tie the weapon into their hair to be used in self-defenseToday it is one of the main weapons of silat and its commonly used in Filipino martial arts as well.

Just for the readers of this comments, please don't take ofense, this master is very good but a little humor is not harmful. I practiced Iaido some time, so you can take revenge doing jokes about my hakama :D !!
what u see is only the art...but in real fight u will why silat i dare to say is the in the world. u never meet one that why u can say like that...so that why i can tell u don't know a shit about it...
Depends. The same knife movements are applied to hand-to-hand, and are called "checks" when they are actually meant to slice open a vital point, but serve no purpose without a knife.
not really, silat aim to kill your opponent in the fastest time. Or at least broke your opponent bone(s). And silat is for self defense, if you start a fight, there's a high chance that you will lose. Provided that your opponent also have some technique :)
@Daisy1008kiss go to indonesia where iy was originated and challenge some silat masters there, and youll be sorry that you are still exist in this world..dont judge someone that youll never know either..
sorry man...nobody here says an important thing: i never try to grab or hang or hug someone...when u try to hit me, i will be like sky...but i'll be so close to u when u'll try a second one to hit me i will hit u firts...this is tai chi...like win chun, tai chi, kung fu, karate, aikido, different ways, but same matrix: indian fight...
tai chi is bullshit as a fighting art. Good for balance,breathing and circulation but let's stay away from all that magical thinking and give respect to right here right now systems that work.
Hi!. The problem with Tai Chi is that the art is very difficult, so only an advance student is able to use it fully. And the most popular styles are focused in medicine, so there remain little skilled instructors in combat aplications. I don't think is bullshit, but there are simpler forms to learn faster to the average human being. The creator of the first style was general Chen, at his time the military took an exam to promote ranks; so, to be a general you had to be a Great Master!. :)
I don't buy into all that folklore magical thinking self promoting secret manual stuff about tai chi. It is limited & will not work . I have known some 40 year practitoners of the art and one was an ex koumontang general from taiwan who practised as a sparring partner with chen manching.Ever see the international fah jing/ push hands competitions? exhibitions of strength. Any body saying tai chi works has previously lots of fighting experience in another practical art layered under the tai-chi
I meant Chen Wanting, the very creator of the first style, Chen, in the XVI century, that doesn't apply to modern military. And of course is limited. I agree with you about that folkloric things, don't buy it too. I wouldn't use it, it's not fit to my natural mechanics. And trying to learn the real use of Chi is too dificult to apply. It is sane to be skeptical, there are many guys trying to sell something
the hakana actually looks pretty cool. Growing up watching samurai flicks i got use to seeing iit. Even a sarong by itself is cool. But having pants underneath that short fabric makes it seem either like an after-thought as in -oh, maybe I better introduce some cultual dress to this style. I was attempting to be light hearted since there is just so much ritual and dogma out there that interferes with real shit.
Too many. I like classic martial arts, but sometimes we forget all this was meant for war. Even the very classic styles we practice had a practical meaning in everything, they were born because some warrior thought there was a more practical way to do things, but, as time goes by, some people begins to do things just because the elders did, they don't understand what are they doing. Many martial arts have suffered this situation, specially modern interpretations of ancient war techniques.
@solnegrolunaroja well, martial arts evolve just like anything else. and lets face it, just one martial art doesn't prepare u for any situation, except silat and muay thai maybe. but in case of silat, u don't really want to kill yr opponent in a street fight anyway. so it's better to take the best from everything and mix it, right?!
@pacovl46 You are absolutely right. My former Iaido sensei practice like the old samurai, he is a Karate black belt, Aikido 2nd Dan and Iaido Muso Shinden Ryu 3rd Dan. He has a very open mind for training. Old samurai trained about 5 or 6 systems, including military weapons, special police weapons like Jutte, horse riding, knife throwing, kempo and jujutsu (or aikijutsu). Many modern martial arts were parts of wider systems, mixing is the way. Silat is great too! :) I like Serak style, is great
While it's certainly true that the practicality of old martial arts is very questionable, modern, practical martial arts have evolved and developed. Nobody really expects to get too much use out of your local karate McDojo teachings. For people who actually want to learn how to defend themselves, there's stuff like this, Krav Maga, mixed martial arts, etc.
@AnotherClich3 It's true. But I must clarify that the poor practicality comes from poor teaching methods, not the system itself. Is like Aikido. There is great difference between the practice and teaching methods of many of the great masters. And Krav Maga and MMA don't teach anything new, is just a new interpretation of old techniques, and a more realistic one. The biggest problem I see is the "adoration of the Master". That paralizes deep innovation.
@flancka actually, Malays do dress like that in olden times. It acts like a sash for holding up the trousers, used as a towel during travels and used as a weapon in case of emergency.
@flancka That's because most Tai Chi instruction is bullshit. However when taught properly, the style can be very devastating. With the right training, a student can also become quite effective within a shorter amount of time (1-2 years). Nothing against you, but it is truly unfortunate that these opinions are so common.

yes it is! You Brothers are very good people and very good Muslims as well. but you should leery of teaching the Eurpeans your fighting techniques; they will use against you when the time comes.
Sadly ...most martial arts instructors complicate things...instead of making it easier for the students....money making is more important to them tsk tsk...when you make your art technique based it is set up...that is where the problem starts coz the real attack has no numbers....mabuhay kayong lahat
Do you know the skills and experiences of the people he instructs kuya? If you did, you wont be saying negative things about him.
ASSUMPTIONS are where all problems start in the martial arts community. Sadly, everyone things they know what is best how to teach and assume that all students are brainless children who just follow orders. This Guro teaches adults who has freedom to just leave if they dont like what they see. Think before you say kuya. Maraming salamat po.
No way! Tigers would TOTALLY eat his ass! I saw a Tiger at a zoo once, and he ate a little girl that was STILL SITTING ACROSS THE GATE!! Tigers are totally sweet, and will flip out and kill ANYBODY. If you don't know that, you'd better get a life right now. Tigers are so cool that I want to crap my pants. They are totally awesome and that's a fact. I love Tigers with every part of my body, including my pee-pee.
Bobbe you are a crazy son of a gun :D I just came back from Germany. How are you doing? Hope you are 100% now... and stop saying pee-pee, it doesnt sound gangsta.
What is the difference between the different Filipino martial arts? Is this like the Panantukan? I found the latter similar to Wing Chun (at least in concept, notice that I'm not thoroughly familiar with either but just a novice)
This guy is really good indeed, also these are the best silat instructional videos on youtube.
Kerambits are getting real popular here in the US and it's really the last thing we need, but that's neither here nor there. Thanks as always for the information.
Ive trained in martial arts for over thirty years. I have not trained with this person but I have trained in Silat and I would say this teacher is good. I can tell by his movement. In Silat they say, you can tell how well a man fights by the way that he dances. You would have to train in this art to understand. If you ever have the chance you should experience it. Very powerful stuff. You have to feel it to believe it.
Can u give me some Brief history of Silat Sentaja?..Im from Phil, and my beloved Guro has just recently passed away.we just want to trace back our Silsila in Malaysia or to whom this style originate. U might can give us some info about Silat Sentaja.thanks you so much Guro Maul,jazakallaho khayran.
I hope this instructor teaches his students how to articulate themselves in court after using these techniques. Not all of these techniques will translate into the American legal perspective of self-defence. Don't win on the street only to loose in court.
well, in the america legal perspective of self defence, if you can convince people to carry guns and use it in self defence, you can convince them to believe anything :)
You don't know what you are talking about. The application of lethal force is considered lawful if you are faced with the threat of serious bodily harm or death to you or your family.
You are absolutely correct! But you better be able to convince the jury that your actions were rightfully necessary and proportion the threat at hand. After paying the bondsman, retainer fee, and $1000.00 a day for the lawyer if it goes on trial... Do you really want to find out? Otherwise, you'll have plenty of time to practice your martial art in the "BIG HOUSE" together with other folks who simply got carried away.
So I suppose when you are faced with a physical assault, either against yourself or (especially)your loved ones, you'll just let it happen...coz you know, you might have to spend some money to fight your case in the court? Or because you fear that you many not be able to control the extent of your retaliation?
Possible... What you thought have happened is meaningless unless you have a credible witness to testify on your behalf to corroborate your story. Just a friendly reminder from someone who closely knows an avid M.A. who have had a close call and went through the intricate legal process. Mostly just a reminder for someone with misplaced bravado due to youth or sinister peer ressure.
The reason the guy in white can't keep hold is because Maul is pulling his own hand between the guys thumb and forefinger, it is a lot easier to break a grip that way.......bt very clever stuff none the less
It's not that the guy in white can't get a good grip. It's that Guru Maul is pushing his arm against white shirt's thumb, where the grip is weakest. You see this idea a lot. In this case, Guru Maul is also holding the wrist, which makes it more certain that he can pull in the most advantageous direction.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
or best to train thaiboxing and bjj. thaiboxing is hard stand up sport that teatches nasty kicks and keeps the skill of boxing plus elbows, and of course you cannot fight without knowing how to fight on the ground. how will you your flashy monkey fists or mantis claws when you're on the ground getting your arm broken huh? are you going to bite me or your famous groin shots? do you mean i can't do that to you too. you have friends that will beat me up? then whats fucking point of learning kung fu
Silat is an art form for the quick and total destruction of an adversary in combat. Boxing is a highly skill-based competition sport that is contradictory to any kind of contemporary fighting. Your are limited to using ONLY your fists, which is highly counter-intuitive to 'actual fighting' wherein your entire body is a weapon (fingers, fists, wrists, forearms, elbows, post-arms, shoulders, chin, head (all sides), back, torso, belly, hips, thighs, knees, shins, heels, feet--all weapons).
Conforming to any one disipline is stupid. Boxing is boxing, and Silat is Silat. You should know how to use your hands, a knife, and any other striking platform, plus some ground fighting knowledge. If all you practice is one format, against others in the same format you are wrong. I carry a gun, when I can't, a knife, and where no knives are allowed, I'm ready with my body and mind. Better to know Silat and some stand-up fighting I say.
this has been the system of thought on fighting not just for men but for well informed countries of people that know what fighting is about for thousands of years
boxers only use their hands thats it! they dont use anything else in their body as a means for a weapon, because they are fucking stupid! i mean they dont even use the rest of their arms like their elbows, just the fists, because it is just lame, it isnt a means for self defense, just a ring sport thats all..
U know when I was in Akido followed into Judo, I relized how effective the punch really was, then I took boxing for 3 years, I assure you, u could never mount up in the ring to what they do, o yea, and tell mike tyson that its fucking lame, I am sure he wont be able to hold his own to your elbows and fists, LOL
In malaysia we have many more like him...come to malaysia, meet more Malays like MR sufian ( we are proud of him). Krambit is the smallest ..lawi is the bigggest claw blade...
There are some secrets to become claw blade proof. Come to Malay archipelago and see with your own eyes...
did a seminar with Maul this weekend, the guy is awesome. Also a very very nice guy too and a great instructor too! He seems to have an answer for every possible scenario, how many arts do you know that can say that. After 25 yrs I have never found one
An honor to recieve a comment from Sifu Frank Ellul.

n history soldiers in Malaysia and Indonesia were armed with a kris at their waist and a spear in their hands, while the kerambit was used as a last resort when the fighter's other weapons were lost in battle its also was popular among women who would tie the weapon into their hair to be used in self-defenseToday it is one of the main weapons of silat and its commonly used in Filipino martial arts as well.

Depends. The same knife movements are applied to hand-to-hand, and are called "checks" when they are actually meant to slice open a vital point, but serve no purpose without a knife.

not really, silat aim to kill your opponent in the fastest time. Or at least broke your opponent bone(s). And silat is for self defense, if you start a fight, there's a high chance that you will lose. Provided that your opponent also have some technique :)

tai chi is bullshit as a fighting art. Good for balance,breathing and circulation but let's stay away from all that magical thinking and give respect to right here right now systems that work.
flancka 1 year ago
Hi!. The problem with Tai Chi is that the art is very difficult, so only an advance student is able to use it fully. And the most popular styles are focused in medicine, so there remain little skilled instructors in combat aplications. I don't think is bullshit, but there are simpler forms to learn faster to the average human being. The creator of the first style was general Chen, at his time the military took an exam to promote ranks; so, to be a general you had to be a Great Master!. :)
solnegrolunaroja 1 year ago
I don't buy into all that folklore magical thinking self promoting secret manual stuff about tai chi. It is limited & will not work . I have known some 40 year practitoners of the art and one was an ex koumontang general from taiwan who practised as a sparring partner with chen manching.Ever see the international fah jing/ push hands competitions? exhibitions of strength. Any body saying tai chi works has previously lots of fighting experience in another practical art layered under the tai-chi
flancka 1 year ago
I meant Chen Wanting, the very creator of the first style, Chen, in the XVI century, that doesn't apply to modern military. And of course is limited. I agree with you about that folkloric things, don't buy it too. I wouldn't use it, it's not fit to my natural mechanics. And trying to learn the real use of Chi is too dificult to apply. It is sane to be skeptical, there are many guys trying to sell something

solnegrolunaroja 1 year ago
the hakana actually looks pretty cool. Growing up watching samurai flicks i got use to seeing iit. Even a sarong by itself is cool. But having pants underneath that short fabric makes it seem either like an after-thought as in -oh, maybe I better introduce some cultual dress to this style. I was attempting to be light hearted since there is just so much ritual and dogma out there that interferes with real shit.
flancka 1 year ago
Too many. I like classic martial arts, but sometimes we forget all this was meant for war. Even the very classic styles we practice had a practical meaning in everything, they were born because some warrior thought there was a more practical way to do things, but, as time goes by, some people begins to do things just because the elders did, they don't understand what are they doing. Many martial arts have suffered this situation, specially modern interpretations of ancient war techniques.
solnegrolunaroja 1 year ago 25
@solnegrolunaroja well, martial arts evolve just like anything else. and lets face it, just one martial art doesn't prepare u for any situation, except silat and muay thai maybe. but in case of silat, u don't really want to kill yr opponent in a street fight anyway. so it's better to take the best from everything and mix it, right?!
pacovl46 1 year ago
@pacovl46 You are absolutely right. My former Iaido sensei practice like the old samurai, he is a Karate black belt, Aikido 2nd Dan and Iaido Muso Shinden Ryu 3rd Dan. He has a very open mind for training. Old samurai trained about 5 or 6 systems, including military weapons, special police weapons like Jutte, horse riding, knife throwing, kempo and jujutsu (or aikijutsu). Many modern martial arts were parts of wider systems, mixing is the way. Silat is great too! :) I like Serak style, is great
solnegrolunaroja 1 year ago
@solnegrolunaroja
While it's certainly true that the practicality of old martial arts is very questionable, modern, practical martial arts have evolved and developed. Nobody really expects to get too much use out of your local karate McDojo teachings. For people who actually want to learn how to defend themselves, there's stuff like this, Krav Maga, mixed martial arts, etc.
AnotherClich3 11 months ago
@AnotherClich3 It's true. But I must clarify that the poor practicality comes from poor teaching methods, not the system itself. Is like Aikido. There is great difference between the practice and teaching methods of many of the great masters. And Krav Maga and MMA don't teach anything new, is just a new interpretation of old techniques, and a more realistic one. The biggest problem I see is the "adoration of the Master". That paralizes deep innovation.

@flancka That's because most Tai Chi instruction is bullshit. However when taught properly, the style can be very devastating. With the right training, a student can also become quite effective within a shorter amount of time (1-2 years). Nothing against you, but it is truly unfortunate that these opinions are so common.

Ive trained in martial arts for over thirty years. I have not trained with this person but I have trained in Silat and I would say this teacher is good. I can tell by his movement. In Silat they say, you can tell how well a man fights by the way that he dances. You would have to train in this art to understand. If you ever have the chance you should experience it. Very powerful stuff. You have to feel it to believe it.

You are absolutely correct! But you better be able to convince the jury that your actions were rightfully necessary and proportion the threat at hand. After paying the bondsman, retainer fee, and $1000.00 a day for the lawyer if it goes on trial... Do you really want to find out? Otherwise, you'll have plenty of time to practice your martial art in the "BIG HOUSE" together with other folks who simply got carried away.

So I suppose when you are faced with a physical assault, either against yourself or (especially)your loved ones, you'll just let it happen...coz you know, you might have to spend some money to fight your case in the court? Or because you fear that you many not be able to control the extent of your retaliation?

Possible... What you thought have happened is meaningless unless you have a credible witness to testify on your behalf to corroborate your story.

It's not that the guy in white can't get a good grip. It's that Guru Maul is pushing his arm against white shirt's thumb, where the grip is weakest. You see this idea a lot. In this case, Guru Maul is also holding the wrist, which makes it more certain that he can pull in the most advantageous direction.

Silat is an art form for the quick and total destruction of an adversary in combat. Boxing is a highly skill-based competition sport that is contradictory to any kind of contemporary fighting. Your are limited to using ONLY your fists, which is highly counter-intuitive to 'actual fighting' wherein your entire body is a weapon (fingers, fists, wrists, forearms, elbows, post-arms, shoulders, chin, head (all sides), back, torso, belly, hips, thighs, knees, shins, heels, feet--all weapons).

Conforming to any one disipline is stupid. Boxing is boxing, and Silat is Silat. You should know how to use your hands, a knife, and any other striking platform, plus some ground fighting knowledge. If all you practice is one format, against others in the same format you are wrong. I carry a gun, when I can't, a knife, and where no knives are allowed, I'm ready with my body and mind. Better to know Silat and some stand-up fighting I say.
