  • This may sound wierd...

    Ok, first off, hi

    As stated, this may sound quite wierd. The thing is this, once upon a time, when the internet was a wide, unexplored world for me I was in desperete need of a nick name. As I am a person with a fond liking of completly random stuff, I basically just threw a few letters into a pile and extrated something which resembled a word. To my eyes, that was all, it resembled a word. However today, a more deeply conducted google search revealed that it actually ment something! As you may understand, this drove me onwards to find the true meaning of the word. A full 20 minutes later I found a post on this very forum, carbon dated to 03-20-2002. This is basically where my trail of evidence leaves me, so now I ask you:

    What is pamoer, in terms of martial arts?

    I deeply thank you for reading this desperate plea for knowledge.

      I don't study any of them at all. I'm only interested to know about this "pamoer" style, since I've used it as my nick name for years without knowing it had any meaning at all.

          The link you referenced was a discussion of silat (Martial arts from south east Asia):

          "Pak Vic's "Tongkat" system is stick work based on Soempat, Pamoer, and Serak and, to the best of my knowledge, he began developing it before Pak Herman's videos. I doubt he's ever even seen Pak Herman's tongkat vids..."

          Pak Vic is a reference to Guru Victor DeThouars, a silat instructor.

          Apart from from this post and some info on another silat site TONGKAT | Silat-Bledek , I can't find anything else about it.

          It seems to be the name of an Indonesian martial art, beyond that, I have no idea.

                  Arnis, Kali Eskrima*, Escrima, are the Filipino Martial Arts & Sciences, the remaining are specific systems each related to their original instructors, or actual meaning, to wrestle as in Dumog.

                  * Eskrima is the spelling Doce Pares uses, since there's no K in Spanish of which they call it Escrima, and according to GM Canete, Arnis, Kali, Eskrima represent the Filipino Arts and Sciences of Human Life. With some mention along the was as to Eskrima, meaning to skirmish.

                  regards to everyone, we'll be in Hollywood Florida this 5&6th of September, then NYC October, and Rio again in November, look forward to working with everyone.

                      What was the outcome of "pamoer" did anyone find out? Like fire cobra said pama refers to burma in thailand or the thai word for burmese. But i'm sure its that.
