Our self defense programs are designed for adults who want to learn quick and effective self defense in a safe and professional environment.

FAQ
-The boards are standard pine 1x12x10 & 1x6x10 from Lowes or Home Depot
-All the instruction Ralph had is in the video.
-The hand held board break at the beginning is tougher and requires the ability to deliver a lot more power. A little bit of quality instruction will get you there though.
-Everything shown here is beginner level in our system.

If you are skeptical please stop buy and visit. We are more than happy to let you see and feel for yourself.

hey kuntao i apreciate the posting of this vid i can easily see that ive been over looking the open palm technique very intensive i trained muay thai for about 3 years or so and think its pretty awesome but the other martial arts are some what more technical muay thai is about endurence strength and heart but uve got my intrest in silat so thank you and much respect

@sillylocs420 Thank you. You'll find that some (though not all) silat styles have some similarity with Muay Thai since Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia are fairly close together.

no use ur elbows much more effective and yes u might hurt ur elbow hittin a piece of wood with it but go hit sum1 in the face or the ribs and u wont feel a thing

@x1Wardy Elbows are an excellent tool and we use them a lot but they don't have the reach that the open hand does. And this video is about the open hand not elbows. We train to strike with the open hand, elbows, knees, feet, forearms, all parts of the fist, shins, the head, shoulders, hips, fingers and more.

@sybrenkoninckx -- You've been Thai Boxing for 2 years & you can't break a board? Really?!?

[gomergilligan]

My boxing instructor - who studied all kinds of martial arts and was a streetfighter in his youngers days - told there's some people he couldn't KO with a punch - but there is NO ONE he couldn't KO with a SLAP.

I am Pleased and glad that someone took also in the selfdefence part, and not just the form health and beuty. Very nice demostration, and I was woundering If you were teaching indonisian silat?

@bmckenzie69 If your hand is tense it is easy to injure the fingers as you describe. However, if you keep the hand relaxed so it will conform to the shape of whatever you hit the strike will be more powerful and the risk of injuring the fingers is very small. We use punches but that there are a lot of benefits to the Open Hand and beginners can learn to transmit real power with Open Hands a lot faster than they can with punches.

[bmckenzie69]

@kuntaosilat With open hand strikes there is a danger of catching a finger on something hard such as a chin or elbow. If I try to palm heal strike someone in nose I could have a finger broke or dislocated if they block or move enough that I just catch them with my fingers. There is certainly legitimacy to both forms of strikes, but both have their risks. I just thinkt the video would be much more legit if the fist strike had not been so easily disregarded as a bad idea.

[kuntaosilat]

@bmckenzie69 Of course you can break a board with a fist also but it requires a little more training. And if you run your fist into an elbow or the hard part of someones head you can easily break it while the open hand will usually not suffer any damage. We find the fist is also a useful tool for certain things but we tend to use the open hand about 70 - 80% of the time.

@hugoiv Whew.

Thank goodness.

I was worried that people didn't know this.
