25th Silat Anniversary


To celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Silat becoming Established in Ireland we will be holding a week long festival starting Monday 17th May 2010 -23rd May 2010. One of the main highlights of this event will be, inviting different students, who have reach Instructor level over the 25 Years, to teach for couple of hours each, during the week or at the weekend. Each of these Instructors will be able to show their skill and passion, and what they learn personally from the Art, how it influence them and where it has led them today. They will talk about how they got involved in and maybe tell some funny stories of things that happen. We are going to to film this and present it as a living history of how our Association came into being, the ups and downs, and the dedication shown by a number of people to keep the Art alive. This way at the 50th Anniversary in 2035 people can look back and have accurate recording of the early years.

Also during the week Guru Liam will be teaching a class in exactly what he was teaching at different intervals. Monday 1985 , Tuesday 1990, Wednesday 1995, Thursday 2000, Friday 2005.

Other major events are also planned for the week long festival and over the next few months these details will be announced. We want to make this event a celebration of the fellowship of Silat.
