Monkey Mannerism

Great new article by Pelajar Sion Marc Simpson on Monkey Mannerism on http://www.pukulancimandeuk.blogspot.com/ Any student training in the art I would strongly recommend reading the article and get a unique insight in the mannerism concepts of the Monkey and Ape.

PCC Syllabus Book and Dvd's coming soon !!!

The Pukulan Cimande Combat Training syllabus Book is now ready, and all students will begin receiving their books in classes from today. This is the first time the syllabus has been put together in a book format and gives a very detail complete picture of the Art. Students who are on our long distance training programmes will received their books in the post over the next week to ten days.

With this project complete we will begin shortly filming and editing a series of digital high quality training dvd's which will follow the syllabus. This will allow students for the first time, to see all the material on their grading section recorded on one dvd. We also plan over the next 18 months to release new dvds on areas such as Pukulan Cimande Combat : Pendang, PCC: Kunjang, PCC:Keris, PCC:Trumbu, PCC: Kanching as well as dvd covering Internal Sparring, Lankas, Progression of Destruction, Principles of Combat and Jurus. Its is our long time goal to not only offer our students a complete combat system, but to also do our part in preserving this beautiful art of Pukulan Cimande for future generations.

Pukulan Cimande Combat Blueprint

This is the blueprint for our training. It is not set in stone, as a Silat Fighter is train to adapt and change to meet the numerous differences in self defence, he / she may experience. However most Attacks do follow a general overall plan, and so the blueprint deals with this.

#1 Move rhythmically and slowly to mentally calm and bring the opponents level of anxiety and adrenaline down.

#2 When the opportunity arises explode at the opponent using off -timing Zig Zag (Kilap ) footwork with stomping and slapping to add to auditory and visual disruption.

#3 As you enter your Attacker space destroy his base with powerful strong kicks, like the Lead Leg Joint Kick, low line Hook Kick adding smashing fast punches like the Back Hand Speed Punch to the face.

#4 If the Attacker is not stopped, attacked his Vulnerable nerve centers in soft targets such as eyes, throat, groin etc.. adding in Elbow and Knee strikes to weaken the attacker. Use Sweeps or pushes to knock the Attacker to the ground.

#5 If during stage #2 the Attacker evades your Kilap footwork , or proves to quick for you, than close the gap either with Pukulan Wall ( a series of fast penetrating punches and kicks) or use constantly changing decoy postures, which are done at various heights and speed to draw an attacker into a false weakness, which you can re -counter and go into stage #3

#6 If the attacker at any times grabs you and cant re - counter his hold, and he throws/pushes you to the ground, drop into Harimau Ground Fighting Postures and start striking the attackers ankles and knees, destroying his based and bringing him to the ground.

We be covering aspects of the Pukulan Cimande Combat Blueprint in classes from Monday 11th May to Thursday 21st May along with Advance Crane Mannerisms.
