Inside our Pukulan Cimande System it is made up of a number of subsystems which each student will learn the technical aspects and the combat mannerism of. One of these is Monyet style for beginners and Kera for advance students. One of the core concepts of this system is the Decoy stances.

There are seven of these Stances, Horizantal, Vertical, Rib Opening, Tiger Cat, Roof Hit, Buddah and Back Open Decoy. There are use in a rapid moving forward manner, blending in with shielding and Bungai. Each decoy by it's very nature is offering a false target or opening to funnel in the attacker strikes to a kill Zone, where the defender can trap, lock or destroy the attacker ability to strike.

In this clip Guru Robert Scott is showing the Rib Opening Decoy and one of the many combinations that a silat student will develop from within to deal with an attacker. The student is taught to flow at will, against the attacker energy. In this particular clip Guru Robert is trapping the attacker, than learning to flank, and take the attacker to the ground. The Monyet and Kera systems, both operate in mid height and close to or even on the ground. The use of Elbows and Knees are often employ along with grabbing and tearing with the hand. Guru Robert teaches in Ballymena, classes are also available in Letterkenny, Firhouse, Walkinstown, Lucan, and Dundrum
