As any true martial artist knows: no martial arts is superior to another, there is only a different in skill between martial artists. Silat knows 4 aspects self defence, art, fullcontact and mental training. One aspect cannot be without the others. But in competitions we have: art and full contact. This vid shows the art. This vid has indeed some slow motion effects. I hope to post a vid of the Indonesian demo team when they were in Holland soon. You'll see how fast silat is.

legally. Also, in terms of modern military combatives involving bombs, 50 calibre rifles, machine guns, pistols (i.e. glocks, etc), tanks, missiles, bomber/fighter aeroplanes, etc where is the role of the weapon systems for an ancient martial art like silat or the majority of other martial art systems in modern warfare? It could be suitably employed in modern military CQC and the unarmed techniques utilised in civilian society, but the lethality of the weapon techniques negates their utility.

originally designed for warfare, but transposing an ancient lethal military system to a modern era with legal implications, is a different proposition. Unless you are in the military or in a lawless society, all these techniques will do in civilised law abiding societies, is lead you to prison. The 'self defense'/manslaughter argument will not suffice if you have killed a person by cutting several arteries. I appreciate these deadly techniques, but one has to appraise the ramifications

Silat has some very effective techniques, but how would one realistically employ such lethal short range weapons (i.e. kerambit, kriss, balati,etc) on an assailant without legal complications, if there are witnesses present. There is no way on earth that cutting a carotid artery (i.e. common, internal, etc), jugular vein (external/internal), brachial artery, femoral artery, gouge an eye with a kerambit, etc and be within the confines of 'reasonable force' in the UK. These systems were

arts training. It is not just about fighting, but self development and respect for other people. Above all else, peace. Fighting is a last resort and IMHO fighting systems are too liberally taught to people whom psychologically should never be taught any fighting systems, as they either use those skills for ego, self gain/promotion, exhibitionism, etc and are to quick to engage in fighting, when diplomacy can diffuse the situation. IMHO, the people whom are disrespectful, (regardless of 

[budoarts101]

One thing for certain is that on practically any youtube page concerning martial arts, there is always an argument of some description going on. I was always taught to have humility and respect for fellow practitioners of other martial systems, regardless of their efficacy. That is their prerogative, even if one does not concur with their combat ideologies.The disrespect and derogatory comments that pervade these pages generally, just shows how little people really understand from martial
