Are you looking for training partners? a teacher? discussion of specific techniques/lineages? a general silat conversation?

General discussion, also if there was anybody into silat in NYC interested in practice. Its nice to interact with people who do different things than you do. To experience diiferent reactions and actions than the people you train with all the time.

I have personally met and worked out with people that trained with Rick Tucci in Princeton. I believe he teaches a blend of Mande Muda, Serak, and Inosanto Maphilindo Silat. I really appreciated what I saw from this experience. He also taught a Sat. afternoon silat class a few years back. . It may be worth the occasional car ride. He has a video series on silat.

There are a few IMA guys on this forum, I'd keep tipping the thread to the top, until somebody sees this.

What lineage or style do you study?

might as well...

why not just make this an all you ever wanted to know about silat but were too chickin to ask thread. or something. for us who didn't even know what silat was a few months ago.

to all those knowledgeable types...

what are some of the different styles of silat?

what are some weapons taught unique to silat?

what are the differences between silat training and kung fu?

what are some health/wholistic practices?

dumb questions true.... but its a start.

Stranger,No.

I'm sorry to hear that. Silat is such a cool art, but there are not too many teachers in the US, therefore it is sad to hear whenever an instructor stops teaching.

I thought I read on this forum or Emptyflower that you have also worked with Willem DeThouars. If so, could you humor us with a Serak / Kuntao-Silat comparision post? I'm not looking for a statement of which is better or worse.

Anybody here that practices silat and has also been exposed to X-kan taijutsu? I've read material online that suggest an influence of the former on the latter.

Anybody able to compare Indonesian and Malaysian silat?
