hello to all

[husnira]

hi...

my name is husnira...from malaysia..i practice silat.i really hope that the moderator can make a silat thread and help more people to under stand the art. if there anything that i can help...i would gladly land a hand.after reading some of the post in the threads,i hope the idea of a martial art to be deadlier than the other can be change.martial arts is not just about punches and kicks.its about understanding and balance...but if things get rough...just make sure u can kick a**....thats all from me..salam....

Husnira, welcome... I'm nobody but a fellow user but I like the opportunities to explore new styles with friends around the globe.

Tell me about your style of silat...?? If you don't mind.

I think an Indonesian Arts board would be a great idea too.

salam tant01....
to say a the actual silat that i hav learnt...i would say tht i had the opptnty to learn a few...enough to see the beauty of it...if u are a malay...than u must learn it...even if its only a few steps...but if u are not a malay...learn it to discover the meaning...of silat...
i'm happy to see alot of people in the forum talking about silat...and other martial arts...but can i ask something...?...what is silat?...i mean where does it come from..?..not geograficly...what does s.i.l.a.t means?.....
back to tant01's question...some of the silat tht i had learn and still ever learning is...gayung...sendeng...fatani....and some other....how about we talk about some silat..some technical stuff..ok?
gayung is also know in many names...gayung pesaka..gayung malaysia..gayung harimau...and many other gayung...maybe later i can tell what gayung means....gayung mostly an all rounder silat...have alot of mild combat tech and are well known for its "parang" or long hacking knife...silat is very concern about kicking..high kicks are a no-no..but in gayung..kicks are used with some moderation and freedom...gayung originated in kedah,malaysia...
sendeng is a special silat..because sendeng means slanting..the technics evolve around side standing stance...one leg infront..one behind..and the shoulder's side facing the opponent.the strike is very precise and the blockings are minimal..just enough to slide in the blow.....ok...thats all for now...if theres gonna be a silat thread...please put NUSANTARA MARTIAL ARTS...to be fair to all silat...because silat is not like other martial arts..there are about 1000+ type of silat registered in malaysia alone...and trust me,from my research..there should be at least 3000+ silat registered in nusantara .... that is malaysia.indonesia,singapore,philipine,vietnam,laos and thailand..if tant01 can answer my questions about silat...i will give out some secrets about silat...hehehe...just to keep things interesting...ok...salam to all

Why Me???


Great! You really know how to apply the pressure!


Thing to do... Po Fighting (self defense). Skillful combat. a trick to trap.

Just like asking me to say what is Silat? You are baiting me.

Nice! Thanks husnira!
