Silat Suffian Bela Diri - Blade Vs Blade Disarm

[pacovl46]

@ Maul. r u the instructor in the video? i live in thailand and was wondering if there's a silat school that teaches yr style in thailand?

[efreling]

Guru Maul is so tough, he doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the world down!

Much respect Maul - I can't wait for the next seminar - I still have bruises from the last one!

[NickTheSlasherMgirk2]

yeah but most people don't knife attack you that way . for the most part , a stabbing motion , can be one way or the other . deflection is key in defending such an attack .

[NickTheSlasherMgirk2]

that can be done with a hand , an elbow , a shoulder , a knee , a foot , even a headbutt . but it has to move outside , not inside .

I thought they only used the reverse grip in the movies. ;-)

This video is from the pre-Vibram era!

Excellent instruction from a quality instructor. Hope to see you someday Guru Maul.

Always an honor to recieve a comment from Guru Bobbe Edmonds.

Founder of Edmonds Martial Arts Academy. One of two people dually ranked by both Pendekar Herman Suwanda and his brother Bambang of Mande Muda Silat and Sudanese Pencak Silat in Bandung Indonesia.

That last part was to make a point. I'll never be as good as you at what you do, but I can get enough to use. I mainly aim to use it against other bad guys, as people like me will never meet people like you head on.

[greenpinkyellow]

Don't assume bad guys are dumb, or lazy. I'm taking your stuff (especially the ground fighting) and adding it to Yang Jwing Ming's Crane Chin Na, plus my Emperado Kajukenbo. Don't worry, I'll blind you before we begin.

Please explain the similarity of your Brunei Silat Suffian Bela Diri to Filipino Martial Arts Inosanto, Sayoc & Pekiti Tirsia.

Do you teach in the Los Angeles Area?

Maybe I could be part of one of your sessions if you have seminars here.

[Maul565]

Brunei & Philipines are close neighbours, most weapon based S E Asian martial arts look similar if not the same. But its only superficial. Like basics strikes & kicks in karate, teakwondo and muay thai, but each has thier own specialty, u can only do so much with 2 arms and 2 feet. The difference in intentions, concepts and culture can only be seen as u progress in training, its the same with the bladed arts.

thats right, philippines was part of the sultanates pre hispanically speaking, and the muslim filipinos used silat , later called "arnis or "eskrima" as observed and tasted by the spanish occupiers. the phils martial origin is from silat arguably, the knife system here is very very obvious in relation to the philippine arts.

[MrSolitude14]

@williebl2005 thats because the root of FMA in general is malayan martial arts, Dan inosanto himself created a system called Maphilindo which is stand for : Ma(malaysia)Phi(philipines)Ind­o(indonesia) , dan created this system to honoured his silat gurus

[Cimande83]

[Funkyirishjew]

many thanks.

[candreis]

it's only the beginning of one great adventure!!!!!!

tahnk you guru maul

[senortop]

Yeah ... that's sick ... just like real life!

[Sitbatan]

nice

[JasonHeriford]

Solid technique, but maybe the bad guys are learning too much of our stuff from youtube. What do you think?

[Maul565]

as always an honor to recieve a comment frm Mas Guru Heriford. The video is only part of an instruction, it doesnt give the full detils of the movements. Constant repetative training to obtain the correct knife response, it needs correct instructions, patience, dedication & responsibility. i dont think the bad guys have those 4 traits that martial artists have. respect.
