Urban Silat - Understanding the Jurus.
In Urban Silat from our Pukulan Cimande side we have 18
standing Jurus, which form the foundation for our Cimande training. These 18
Jurus are divided into Male Odd numbers and Female Even Number Jurus.
At the start, the Jurus offer a solo training format for the
student to practise at home and in class to develop correct movement. The
student will focus on developing the techniques on both sides of the body,
before adding footwork covering the four directions, sometimes knows as Lanka
Umpat. The Jurus flow continuously and blend with the footwork. The next stage
of training is adding the Low and High gate to the Jurus. This means doing the
Jurus in a low posture and high posture, and then adding off timing movements
to the flow, through hand slapping, decoying and stomping which helps increase
the power of the hit.
As the student advances they begin to add in the animal
mannerisms and elements to the Jurus, which all helps the Jurus become fully
alive and a perfect unison between student and Jurus. From here the student
adds his own flavouring to the Jurus, and begins to add different weapons to
the Jurus.
Outside of Solo training the student can practise the Jurus
against another student, developing the combat applications, which on Jurus one
(The Father Jurus) teaches students the first two blocks as shown in clip, buka
a opening move against a punch, and the delivery of punches and elbows. So you
can see each Juru has many levels and we havn't even touch the internal aspect.
Jurus are like icebergs, what you see is only really the tip, as much more
depth lies within the Jurus, just out of sight. If you like the clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NMXAxI_PMs&feature=youtu.be
