ABOUT THE VIDEO

This is a Silat Style from Brunei. Its a Weapon-oriented System.

The initial unarmed response are the drills used to hone reflex and sensitivity, there are only 3 basic interceptions and from that "base-template" defensive & offensive entries on any attacks armed or unarmed are gained.

You learn, you understand, then you understand why you learn.

ITS THE MOVEMENTS THAT YOU CAN'T SEE THAT MAKES THE TECHNIQUES EFFECTIVE.

The movements and skills shown are NOT CHOREOGRAPHED.

Novices are taught to develope thier unarmed single knife awareness, reflexes, correct responses & sensitivity in thier initial training. They are taught to read body moevements through understanding body-mechanics.

"Mind-set & Intention" training is also covered practically, usually without concious to the novice. This is the most important training. It is this training that gives the Silat Suffian practitioners a good understanding of reading body-mechanics.

The drills & mind-set are designed to help you to respond to any intial knife attack, hidden or otherwise.

Training for 1st contact & entries are very important in Silat Suffian Bela Diri, because if you cant initially control the attack/fight could last longger, the longger the confrontation, the higher the risk of you getting injured.

In real-time, the drills will be broken-up (pachahkan) and strikes (pukulan) will be used between every entries to soften up the attacker, or to short circuit his back-up intention.

We are NOT interested to grapple or wrestle with a knife weilding attacker. Would you get both your hands tied-up against one armed man, he might have friends hiding close-by?

When u gain control of the knife hand through using the drills, dont hug him or let him hug you, start using headbutts, hands, elbow & knees, trying to grab u with his other hand is the least of his intentions. It is at this stage, he will notice your presence.

Progression of weapons in training are as follows: blunt trainer, aluminium trainer, markers, live blade.

Pressure testing is only done after full understanding.

WE DO NOT PRESSURE TEST AGGRESSIVE KNIFE ASSAULTS ON UNTRAINED & UNSKILL NOVICES. If someone does not understand how can he know. We are NOT a "McDojo"; like all useful knowledge it to be understood, not memorized.

We do not train for the famous phrase "expect to get cut" as propogated by people who do not understand knife orientation/culture. We expect that we "might" get cut, its just a matter of minimizing the chances of it.

If yr a driving instructor, would you tell yr students before-hand "you WILL be in an accident, regardless of how you drive" or "you MIGHT get into an accident if yr not careful"?


ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I would like to thank Rhayn Jooste for his dedication, constant support and friendship.

  • Knife fighting, some say you see a knife turn around and run. But sometimes you don't have that option, so what do you do simple don't just block the knife grab the attackers hand. Knife fighting is very psychological, and you must bear in mind you might get slashed if you fuck up, so your senses must always be aware and you must be aggressive, the block must have a strike in it as well as a grip. Grab the attackers arm, strike it at the same time and strike the attacker. Krav Maga basics.

  • Cos then he dies.

  • doh you tikam belok-belok what time nok kene.....hahhahahahahahhah!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • pandai kita tu eh

  • Lol 2:28 kick to the the bollocks

  • Good technique! ^_^

  • this video is really impressive, all your videos are.

  • Hello Guro Maul. I've watched your videos many times and have practiced the techniques with my partners over the last few years. This video alone could be studied for a year... I find your style to be fluid and smooth. Since this video is 5 years old, I'm curious whether your knife techniques have evolved. I could be wrong, but it seems like the techniques in this video are very direct, while your most recent videos show greater use of hand throws, sapus, and complex combinations.

  • @zippy476 I call that the manson drill :P, but we do it with big markers and old clothing

  • Next time in your demonstration use a chalk knife, wear all black, and actually try and go full speed and hit each other, instead of this semi rehearsed bullshit where you telegraph all your moves.

    99% of the time in a knife disarm you get cut or stabbed at LEAST once, more if the assailant knows what they are actually doing.
