Pukulan Cimande Combat

Pukulan Cimande Combat is a combat driven style of Pukulan Cimande. Its main focus is to develop students to reach their full potential. Its not a endless Jurus system, but instead it focuses on combat application.

Grades

Whatever grade you have already achieved in Pukulan Cimande Pusaka is still correct. Grades cannot be taken away. If a teacher says they will take your grade because you don't currently train with them, then they don't understand the true meaning of a grading.

Long Distance Training

We do not offer gradings or instructors certificates by dvd, attending one seminar or paying over the internet.If you don't live close to a school, you can still train, but to grade you need to attend either seminars / workshops / privates or intensive classes with a qualified Guru (Teacher). Silat is an art about feeling, and can only be truly judged by a teacher, who has regular direct physical contact with the student. All our gradings are done in the public arena of a seminar/ workshop. This way no one can claim a teacher give a grading out of favour or for money.

Grading Format

There are three foundation levels where students will learn the basic techniques and self defence application. Then students will learn the 4 sections of the animal mannerisms Ular, Monjet, Harimau, Blakok. When a student passes each level they are awarded a Pelajar (Student)grade for each animal ie. Pelajar Monjet. The student will received a certificate, animal badge and colour sash. When a student passes all 4 animals they can be graded as Guru Baharau. When they understand Raja Naga they are awarded the Guru Grading along with the Naga Badge.

Is there anything after Guru ?Yes there are lots to interest you. Once you reach the level of Guru you will have access to many more aspects, in which you can grade in and teach.

1) Kermabit
2) Kunjang
3) Keris
4) Pendang
5) Cabang

7) Trunbu
8) Golok
9) Cane
10)Sarong

So a Student who has reached Guru Level can train for example in Kermabit and once mastered the combat application of this weapon can be graded and receive the certification and title for Guru in Pukulan Cimande Combat : Kermbit and be able to teach this and than move on to the next weapon.

Students will get access to the best Silat teachers in the world, as each year we are planning to bring teachers to Europe for seminars and workshops. Students can experience in the flesh the unique skills of these teachers, instead of just seeing them on a dvd. We have many exciting events planned for 2009 and launching of a new dvd series and online teaching ipod lessons to support you on a weekly basis. More to follow on this and other exciting news.
