Ballymena Pukulan Cimande Combat


Ballymena Pukulan Cimande Combat Club

Seven Tower Leisure Center

Ballymena, Co: Antrim

N. Ireland

Trainings Mondays 7.30pm - 9pm Saturday morning (time varies)

Guru Robert Scott and Guru Denny Hughes between them have nearly 30 years experience in Teaching Silat. The Ballymena club was officially open by Guru Liam in 1992, and over those years, Guru Robert and Guru Denny have been the backbone of the club, formally taking over the club, when Guru Liam moved to Dublin. Both these teachers are great ambassadores for the art, and they strict, no nonsense direct, exciting, friendly approach to teaching and training, has led them to develop highly skilled silat players, who have been respected worldwide. Both these guys are assistant by Guru Baharau Peter Hughes who is a Apprentice Instructor. Classes in Ballymena focus on the traditional combat aspects of silat training, this will take the forms of Jurus (Upper body Development) Lankas (Lower Body Development) Unlimited unarmed combat system (Grappling, Striking, Ground fighting) and weapon defence training (Blade / Stick) If you living in Ballymena or even any where close and want to experience Silat and all its deadly beauty than give Guru Robert a call 07710957970 for more details or to book an intro trial. The grading format will continue to follow the traditional format to honour our heritage of Pukulan Cimande, and to give respect to the ancestors who passed the art through the generation. Students in the Ballymena club early next year will get to experience silat taught to them by Indonesian Gurus, who will be able to demonstrate not just there finely tune fighting skills, but also to share the rich, beautiful culture of Indonesia. This is something which has taken us many years to set up, and something we can offer all our students. Direct access to the motherland of silat. 2009 will be a great year for the students of Ballymena
