The only video's I've seen on Madajapahit Silat are form Suzanne Luna Spezzano? I haven't seen video's nor even heard of Maphilindo Sialt until I read these comments. I was thinking of getting her DVD's

[WarriorswayTX]

@MrOphachew it's not surprising you haven't heard of Maphilindo Silat. It's taught only by Guro Dan Inosanto and his students, so it's still a relatively small system as far as numbers go. But we are growing, lol. Suzanne's videos are excellent, you should definitely get them. We also have a Maphilindo Silat Vol. 1 out that you may enjoy as well.

@WarriorswayTX Are there any schools, classes or teachers in the Flint, Michigan area?

[WarriorswayTX]

@MrOphachew How far is that from Lansing? Kent Nelson is in Lansing and teaches Maphilindo. You can find his videos here on Youtube as well. Guro Harley

@WarriorswayTX There are only 18 instructors in the world am I right..

[WarriorswayTX]

@TehIslamicDefender not anymore, there are a few more than that now who are certified under Guro Dan Inosanto. And of course those instructors certify their students in the art, so the art is growing considerably now. Guro Harlehy

[MrOphachew]

@WarriorswayTX I was afraid of that. There doesn't seem to be anything but Tang Soo Do going on in Flint right now. Lansing would be an hour and a half drive one way for me and I don't have the means to travel back and forth on a regular basis. Thanks anyway

the term Madjapahit was used first. As I mentioned it was started and promoted by the three Instructors I mentioned. It uses a blend of arts the include Muay Thai, etc. After the passing of Pendakar Jaffri and the moving back to the P.I. by Tuhon Gaje, Guro Dan was left in charge of Madjapahit Martial Arts. Later, as Guro Dan explored more aspects of Silat he termed his personal system Maphilindo Silat came much later and was only used by Guro Inosanto, then of course, his students.

great video. I am a bit confused about the Maphilindo/Madjapahit split as well. what i've been told through 2ndary sources is that Madjapahit replaced the other term because maphilindo was considered too limited: this knowledge existed outside of MAlaysiaPHILippinesINDOnesia nation-states and well before those countries existed.
