Long Distance Training Programe - Area Representatives

Our Goal

Our goal is the promotion and development of the South East Asian Arts not only in Ireland, but world wide. Our mission is to help keep these Arts alive, by helping to pass them on to a new generation. Over the past number of years we have set up a network where children can learn in our clubs and in public schools. Adult and Teenage have the opportunity, to not only train but to meet Masters at Seminars and Workshops. We have set up a Long Distance Programe and Training Groups so students who live to far away from a Teacher can still learn. Our goal in our classes is to teach and develop "You" properly, and in the shortest time. If you're goal is just to learn to defend yourself, or you like to experience and learn the full traditional art, or maybe looking for a way to de stress, or even looking for a new hobby, then we have a programe ideal for you. I have dedicated my life to learning silat and Kali Arts inside out, so no matter what problems, fear of difficulties you may have in training, I can help you overcome these and improve. All you have to do is take the first step. So call Today! Guru Liam 087 9956569 (int 0035387 9956569) or e-mail guruliam@hotmail.com I look forward to hearing from you, and hopefully being your teacher.
