Kali Roots

Hi, I just wanted to share this clip from the "Kali Root" Dvd. On this Dvd my Teacher Guru Felix is teaching various aspects of Empty Hands, Stick, Sword and Gun Disarms. Guru Felix is a superb teacher and his style of Lameco is a very direct combat system. If you like what you see I would recommend getting this Dvd and get along to one of our classes to experience the Art.

The core and foundation of our Silat system (Pukulan Cimande Combat) is based around 18 Buah's which are combat sequences (10 Grappling and 8 Striking) and 18 Jurus ( Short Training Forms / Combat Application). This is the crux for all students to learn and develop. Once a student completes this they have the tools and understanding to move to the next Level.

The progression of the Buah is 1) Understanding the movement / Developing the Body Mechanics 2) Be able to do Buah on both sides of Body 3) Undertstand the 3 parts .. Entry, Destruction and Finishing 4) Interchange the Buahs 5) Counters the Buahs.

The Progression of Jurus is 1) Understand the Jurus 2) Be able to move in the 6 Directions 3) developing the use of mannerism and elemental energy in the Juru 4) Combat Attitude 5)Interlocking the Jurus.

Students than can blend Jurus with Buahs at will, and from this have a unlimited combat system.
