Martial Arts Odyssey: Silat Because of God (Part 2)

Guru Dr. Zahalan Bin Man shares his Islamic martial art , Silat Kalam, and his fascinating life philosophy of peace and gratitude with Brooklyn Monk, Antonio Graceffo. We eat because of God. We drink because of God. We practice martial art because of God. Guru Dr. Zahalan Bin Man wants people to remember how lucky they are that they can practice martial art, that they can walk, and speak, that they are not ill or suffering. He says that if we always remember to be grateful, we will be happier, healthier people.

In a Muslim community outside of Kuala Lumpur, in Selangor, Malaysia, Antonio explores a version of Silat, the many faced Malaysian martial art. Silat, as taught by Guru Dr. Zahalan Bin Man is a solid self-defense and combat martial art which uses a lot of stand up grappling. In Dr. Zahalans martial art, you never attack, but when your opponent attacks, you tie him up with his own limbs and kick him into submission.

@Antimortem what is your problem? why are you insulting me here and also threatening my life on the other video? Did you do a better set of martial arts videos? what is your complaint exactly?

[Antimortem]

@brooklynmonk1 jerkoff

[brooklynmonk1]

@Antimortem funny.

[Antimortem]

@brooklynmonk1 smart ass........

[brooklynmonk1]

@Antimortem I absolutely have no idea what you are asking me. This entire video is dedicated to Silat Kalam. there is also a video called Martial Arts Odyssey: Silat Kalam which talks even more about the art and the master. What question, specifically remains unanswered after watching these videos? Clearly, I like Silat Kalam and I respect Guru Mazlan a lot.

[jiand21]

Nice vid, as usual!!

The Grandmaster was giving a talk base around the principles of Islam.

SUBHAN ALLAH.

Peace!

It was nice to see him work around your body Antonio...he had to make adjustments, but the techniques still worked. I see a lot of my silat form (one of the oldest forms) in this style. Guru gave you a LONG talk on adat (philosophy toward life). lol
