18 Standing Cimande Jurus
The Jurus are the foundation or base work of Pukulan Cimande they are the master keys. Once mastered they can be broken down and used for defensive applications.
Jurus #1 and Jurus #2 are know as the male and female Jurus of the system. The #1 Jurus starts all the odd numbers and Juru #2 all the even numbers. This is important to remember when you start practicing and learning the Jurus. All the Jurus are learned on both the right and left sides. Starting from the Simba postion a cat stance with a shaolin hand position, left hand covering the right fist, or as in number 2 where the forearm is held even with the floor and two fingers on the wrist.
The Jurus all begin with a stomping motion of the feet. To assimilate the stepping or stomping of the opponent's feet, to pin, punch or break? The Jurus can be trained with a fluid motion, or a slow training motion with snapping on each motion or as an aggressive attitude all out! Using speed, snap, timing, and power, along with a mental key word to start your aggressive approach to the Jurus. In the break downs of the Jurus the keys to defences in Silat. "Thought" We don't just block we punch or break, to destroy whatever comes.
