Silat Grappling / Knife Workshop

A big thanks to all who turn up for the Silat Groundfighting / Knife Seminar. Students from as far away as Cork and Antrim, made there way to Dublin, where there were joined by other students from various clubs in the Dublin area.

The seminar started with various take downs from the grounded, seated and Raja Harimau postures against punches and kicks. Students learnt how to move, lock, counterlock, throws and defences from the ground. Towards the end of this sections students work on being able to defend against two attackers.


After a short break students work on entries from a standing postures, training in the female triangles footwork, guntangs (limb destruction's) blending in elbow and knee strikes to the attacker body. The final section of the day went to Knife entries, and student experiences the speed and angles of blade attacks.


A big clap on the back goes out to all the students who passed their gradings on the self defence and crane mannerisms section of Pukulan Cimande Combat. A big thanks to all the Gurus who put in alot of time getting students ready. Well done.
