The Power of the Slap

Urban Silat Street Defence Tip #1 - The Power of the Slap

When it comes to defending yourself, Simplicity is the key. Without proper Martial Arts training complex techniques will not happen, as shock, fear and surprize will take over your body and mindset. One of the most simple techniques is “Slapping”. It’s one of the techniques, that most people completely underestimate, or think to "Girly". That may be the case if the technique is not done properly, and you only using the shoulder muscle to develop power to hit with. But I'm talking about a big open hand, full power slap to side of the face, with your full body weight and body mechanics from your ankle to the shoulder behind the strike. This type of full body Power Slap will instantly shock the attacker, and give you that split second chance to escape, and get the hell out of there. If the first slap is not enough then you can easily follow up with another slap with same hand or other hand, or a elbow, or one of the old favorites a Knee strike to the groin.

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.
