The only video's I've seen on Madajapahit Silat are form Suzanne Luna Spezzano? I haven't seen video's nor even heard of Maphilindo Sialt until I read these comments. I was thinking of getting her DVD's
@MrOphachew it's not surprising you haven't heard of Maphilindo Silat. It's taught only by Guro Dan Inosanto and his students, so it's still a relatively small system as far as numbers go. But we are growing, lol. Suzanne's videos are excellent, you should definitely get them. We also have a Maphilindo Silat Vol. 1 out that you may enjoy as well.
@MrOphachew How far is that from Lansing? Kent Nelson is in Lansing and teaches Maphilindo. You can find his videos here on Youtube as well. Guro Harley
@WarriorswayTX I was afraid of that. There doesn't seem to be anything but Tang Soo Do going on in Flint right now. Lansing would be an hour and a half drive one way for me and I don't have the means to travel back and forth on a regular basis. Thanks anyway
@TehIslamicDefender not anymore, there are a few more than that now who are certified under Guro Dan Inosanto. And of course those instructors certify their students in the art, so the art is growing considerably now. Guro Harlehy
great video. I am a bit confused about the Maphilindo/Madjapahit split as well. what i've been told through 2ndary sources is that Madjapahit replaced the other term because maphilindo was considered too limited: this knowledge existed outside of MAlaysiaPHILippinesINDOnesia nation-states and well before those countries existed.
the term Madjapahit was used first. As I mentioned it was started and promoted by the three Instructors I mentioned. It uses a blend of arts the include Muay Thai, etc. After the passing of Pendakar Jaffri and the moving back to the P.I. by Tuhon Gaje, Guro Dan was left in charge of Madjapahit Martial Arts. Later, as Guro Dan explored more aspects of Silat he termed his personal system Maphilindo Silat came much later and was only used by Guro Inosanto, then of course, his students.

@Far7anR Hello, that's a great question and one that comes up regularly because as you said, people learn both from Guro Inosanto. Madjapahit Martial Arts was started by Tuhon Leo Gaje, Pendakar Eddie Jaffri and Guro Dan Inosanto. It blends arts from all over south east Asia including Thailand, Burma, Indo-China, etc. Maphilindo is Guro Dan's personal system from Malaysia, Philippines and Indonesia. Different arts, backgrounds, flavors, etc. Hope that helps. Guro Harley
Thanks for that great answer. Is there any way I can get a little more information on what makes them distinct? The biggest thing I think I noticed was that Madjapahit is more ground-oriented while Maphilindo favors to be standing up more. I was thinking of buying a DVD but I wasn't sure which system to check into first, and I don't want to try to do both at the same time.
It'd be great if I could know what systems went into Madjapahit as opposed to which went into Maphilindo.
@Far7anR Hello. I've posted on the internet years ago the various arts that make up both Maphilindo Silat and Madjapahit. It's too lengthy to post here. I wouldn't necessarily say one favors the ground over the other. In fact most people do learn both arts at the same time since that's how Guro teaches them. So I don't think you will have a hard time, just pick a DVD on either art from a legitimate Inosanto Instructor and I think you will be safe. Guro Harley
That was just AWESOME!!!!!!! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!!! There are not many maphalendo silat practitioners out there and it is one of the most effective arts I have EVER had the pleasuer of observing. Once again THANK YOU SO VERY VERY MUCH!!!!!
I would say no this is not allowed in wrestling, since this is a neck break. I personally am not a wrestler, so do not take my word for it. Having done this technique I can tell you it is easy to lose your balance in this position and really hurt your partner/opponent; there is a tremendous amount of pressure on their neck, so any movement from them or you would be bad.
That Is A Super Video.....Great, Please let me know when you post more of these. I would like to see some joint locking techniques as well as some foot sweeps.

What is the difference between Maphilindo Silat and Madjapahit Silat? Aren't they both from Dan Inosanto?
