Thanks for watching these 7 highly effective strikes from Silat martial arts! Which technique is your favorite if you had to pick one? 🙏🏼👊🏼👍🏼

[@thomashill6702]

I like the upper cut and the strike to solar plex the best. I have a blackbelt in tae Kwon do. . I really like the escrimage stix. Too

[@TheCreeper1124]

I believe in training both hands, sometimes you don’t get to choose which hand you want to throw to strike.

[@florianadolf2256]

If I could elbow somebody all day (distance-wise speaking), I'd probably do that... That said, there's a time and a place for every technique, though😏 That dropped/slanted punch seems pretty cool, btw. What's it called in Indonesian?

[@thebaneking4787]

I had no idea you had a Silat channel. I love Silat. I mixed it with my Muay Thai when I used to fight professionally. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@backtoprimal]

Just started this channel a couple months ago. Keeping this channel focus on mobility and traditional martial arts focused. My main traditional arts background are Taekwondo, Kali and Silat. Love the mobility training these arts offer and I add some qigong practices too.

[@imaeskandarzulkarnain4270]

Like you, i love Muay Thai and Pencak silat

[@DarkDoughnutsVids]

Wait really? Do you have any footage of your fights?

[@michaelsantini7396]

New to the channel first I’ve heard of silot but don’t know a lot about all the different martial arts out there. I’m 42 and now I’m getting bored with the weight lifting and jogging on treadmill in the gym looking for other ways to get a better workout

[@rogermoore4395]

Silat is just another form of martial arts my friend. Silat socalled Masters rely on outside power.

[@kalicenter]

Amazing and highly effective 7 strikes from Silat! 👊🏼

[@jasononeil3816]

Being a drummer, I am used to utilising both feet and hands simultaneously, so training only one side seems literally like I am only doing half a job. Plus, attempting to gain stopping power in both left and right positioning is highly beneficial.👍💪😁

[@jeankungfu465]

U heeft gelijk want door het te leren drummen leert men verschillende combinaties zowel linkse als rechtse aparte bewegingen te combineren. Dit zowel met armen en benen tergelijkertijd.

[@gusxwazt1607]

Been learning from few silat schools, for real fights, not for sports. It's highly effective in very close distance. That's why it mostly uses elbows and knees. For medium distance, it uses forearms and cruss. Because fingers are actually weak and can easily get injured. Fingers will be used to attack eyeballs, squeeze balls, rip out throat, pull off hair, break opponent's fingers. The weakness is, wrestling, grappling and ground game are minimum to none. But when you master the technique very well, you still can use it in an extremely close range, like in grappling or even on ground. I.e you can break the opponent's fingers when he tries to choke you (done this). Or attack his eyeballs. Of course it's not easy. Moreover when your opponent is very good on the ground game .

[@ngocehgayabebas2118]

I really admire westerner who learn silat, it makes me proud as indonesian. Thank you

[@user-ot6uo8wg2j]

This is one of the best most well explained most simple videos on strikes I’ve seen brother. Well made 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@enricopietrac.5968]

Thanks Paul for sharing!God bless!🙏

[@backtoprimal]

You are very welcome

[@asrimuhammad7951]

For next video= Silat Stick fighting techniques

[@b.r.1523]

I'm a firm believer of practicing both sides- even got into debates with coaches about it. In general, i think it allows for more fluid footwork later and makes me less predictable.

[@b.r.1523]

that orange cat is so chill.

[@czzham]

I personally go for both sides equally in training, although sometimes in combat I favor my stronger side in the front (right). I was introduced to Silat about 7 years ago, as an augmentation to my lifetime in other arts/training (started at like 4 yrs old, almost 70 now). I appreciate your videos and insights. Thank you.

[@treyheintz4712]

Found this guy from watching "The Raid!" Someone mentioned the name of this fighting style, which ultimately lead me here. Definitely want to learn this and i happen to have a bob to beat up lol

[@backtoprimal]

Welcome!

[@williambreen4290]

Kali is an awesome martial art and I have been a subscriber to your channel for a few years now and get quite a bit out of your content! However I find the art of silat to be just as interesting and I'm glad you are starting to incorporate it.

[@backtoprimal]

Kali and Silat are perfectly paired! 👍🏼

[@yorunya438]

I like working both sides too. it gives you the confidence to handle any angle and to deal with surprises better. like in the song of jhony Mitchell "both sides now"..

[@backtoprimal]

Absolutely!

[@richardsimonricco6226]

Bro smiles everytime he think about hurting bob❤

[@backtoprimal]

[@richieaprile1547]

Tremendous video, Paul! Thank you

[@backtoprimal]

Thank you, Richie! 🙏🏼

[@erichwebb8312]

Thanks for the share ….. just started witnessing the info your sharing . I appreciate the direct , effective and respective presentation of your wisdom . I’ve learned traditional king fu and some of it seems overwhelming with mystical secrets and overly elaborate skills taking 10-20 years to learn ( …. Or so they say …..😉) I’d say truly martial arts is healing/protective and should be useful quickly and long term of course your skills improve and deeper wisdom emerge ….. yet now a days with gangs , ex military and or disrespectful people overflowing through our world a good solid and practical martial arts with good values is what life demands to preserve a good and valued way of life ….. Appreciate and respect to you and your team ….. Looking forwards to learning more …… Thanks again and take care ….. ✝️

[@mizanahmed4167]

Excellent video. I love these videos, there so versatile especially when your carrying an injury they help in rehabilitation.

[@backtoprimal]

Thank you! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@bagiraramah7560]

I knew silat from iko uwais and I've been a follower since

[@backtoprimal]

👍🏼👍🏼

[@jasononeil3816]

Having refreshed by rewatching, it would be great if you could provide a video detailing some combinations of each strike?

[@backtoprimal]

Absolutely!

[@macfinney2752]

I think you are correct about training to execute all punches with both hands, and I wish that all martial art styles would employ this principal in training

[@ISTsports]

I am southpaw, however, I train both sides as everyone should for balance. Like your stuff...keep it up!

[@backtoprimal]

Awesome! Thanks 🙏🏼!

[@capthappy345]

Nice 👍

[@Menyhard]

I love that body punch sir

[@backtoprimal]

It’s a great strike! 👊🏼

[@FortyWata]

dude that is a great instructional video I got to give it to you that is good teaching

[@hydeseyk3924]

I did not know that elbowing with a clenched fist reduces the amount of actual exposed elbow bone - good share!

[@backtoprimal]

Thanks! 🙏🏼

[@thomasturner4253]

Thanks Paul U definitely need to train both sides Just in case u get a injury on your side u normally use

[@backtoprimal]

👍🏼🙏🏼👍🏼

[@user-tm3nr1qc2n]

Ive been in the arts 50 years, learn to use both sides is bery important

[@robloxpiggyteam]

both hands because one day I may need to use it to defend myself carrying a baby or my cat or dog in the other or not have an arm at all

[@Victor-ls7ik]

Bro loving it. Took kung fu in KC, haven't seen the loose, twisting striking since. Learned a lot, reminded of more. Thanks man

[@chrismusch8970]

Totally agree with you that you must train both sides equally.

[@va.6819]

Well explained

[@Hadassahtexas]

I like it! This is the martial arts I want to learn.

[@shaunsnow192]

Vertical punches are delivered with the bottom three knuckles, not the top two. Striking with the top two knuckles with vertical fist puts your wrist out of alignment.

[@chrisb.20]

Correct and I recently hurt my hand on a punching bag game doing this. And ofc, the first 19 strikes were fine (« What did that machine ever do to you? » people were asking.) It was only the last prepaid strike that f’d me up lol

[@sopwithcamelus]

I believe it's best to train both sides.

[@backtoprimal]

👍🏼

[@JamesKyle-35600]

0:47 so yeah I want to learn how to fight with my left side predominantly (only) so thank you for showing me some left side striking 😅

[@williamkouka208]

Awesome

[@backtoprimal]

Thanks 🙏🏼

[@2009600GSXR]

1000% agreed on training both stances. You’ll be a very strong fighter and an unpredictable opponent. Great Video. Enough!! 🇵🇷❤️

[@ZulkarneynCevik]

Amazing channel. Loved it

[@backtoprimal]

Thanks so much!

[@quanzeus6665]

First lessons by you today 🎉

[@NickShamhart]

Ambidextrous all the way. I had to have reconstruction surgery on both knees as a teenager (Right at 14 left at 17). Injury forced me to become ambidextrous. It’s better to be ready to lose a side and not need it, than to lose your mastered side and be at a severe disadvantage.

[@user-ef2ix7nt3e]

I love silat ❤

[@backtoprimal]

👍🏼

[@leifodinnson]

I agree with you that we should train both sides

[@dennisdrenthe1058]

That cat is the real ninja here.

[@RealBrianDeclan]

I have a mixed opinion of training both sides. When starting to train it is very important to train left and right, but once you have some experience and start to develop a style that works for you, this can change. Personally it took me a few years of training to recognize that I have knock-out power in my right hand. I don't in my left. This changed my training because I then had an advantage that I wanted to focus on developing. I've continued to drill to maximize the use of my right hand. To sum it up, I'm not necessarily training my left side less, it just that I want my left hand to set me up and my right to deliver the pain.

[@gbody2617]

You're very correct with training both leads. I'm right handed and would train southpaw double so it could becomen second nature. My coach was stupid to think all on the strong side and i think this is why i no longer train with him. I'm on a martial jouney and not a boxer's journey because for one, I'm now to damn old to ever have a pro fight and i was never interested in sport fighting to begin with but to be prepared for the ultimate villain on the streets because there are tough people on the streets regardless of what people say about people not knowing crap because they're not trained but in the city i lived and the violence around it, people were trained to be violent and what i mean by that is they didn't care if someone was a muay thai kickboxer or boxer or whatever because they would pick a brick up and hit a person in the face and then atrack with a bat or club or the guys from Mexico who would take their snake skinned boots and use it like a hammer or their belt buckle and swing it like Zorro and they knew boxing very well and also mixed in soccer...yes, i said soccer. I miss when i was younger getting into all of this crap because it was an ultimate experience in really getting down and dirty and fighting to not get your lights knocked out which never happened thank God! 😆

[@imbradtaylor]

Right coming from center.

[@florianadolf2256]

Both sides. Definitely. You never know if and when one side will get blocked, hampered, hamstringed (what have you) - so, the higher the versatility, the better...

[@Triththaus]

The liver is in M.R.Q.(Mid Right Quadrant) Some would say L.R.Q (Lower Right Quadrant) also I believe in mastery with both sides. just one side doesn't make sense both sides make you more effective.

[@NobodyBeatsTheSniz]

Work both leads always. The left teaches the right and the right teaches the left.

[@user-ef2ix7nt3e]

I do some on both sides. But emphasize my left since I'm a southpaw

[@izzi5669]

Cool..mantap

[@mobilematays4924]

Couldn't help but notice on the elbow body strikes you went to a closed fist technique. Was there a specific reason that differs from face to body?

[@jeankungfu465]

Er zijn nog meer stoten en slagen die heel effectief zijn zoals b.v. 2 stoten in een stoot en nog 3 andere hamerslagen en 5 elleboog stoten

[@brandonbroyles147]

Definitely

[@MaddogKernan]

The livers on the right hand side, im always doing elbow strikes on my dummy to the liver..

[@mikimiyazaki]

Theres a reason why the left hook to the body (liver) is such a nasty shot in boxing.

[@czzham]

Observation: Open hand in elbow strike also makes your arm and adaptability more flexible, both for attack and counter. IMHO. Good atcha.

[@Menyhard]

Im 55 years old. And i still train

[@backtoprimal]

That’s awesome!

[@jamesmunroe6558]

Absolutely train on both sides. Use the dominant side to skill-train the non-dominant side, and use the non-dominant side to strength-train the dominant side. That way, you come close to equalizing skill and strength on both sides over time. The advantage of bilateral training is that you cannot predict when you might be in a situation where you are not able to control which side you present in an attack.

[@backtoprimal]

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@user-wt4sk5fn2m]

silat and kali are both beautiful deadly martial arts can i ask you as a good master that you are which one is more effective in to a fight and for an self defence thank you respect

[@aikitroy]

All way both sides!!

[@paolosmaldone8347]

liver on right side,you struck nice with a right shovel hook.But this (very good video)is more"old bareknuckle boxing" not any flowering open hand silat.

[@backtoprimal]

Flowering in Pencak. The combat is Silat.

[@cliftongough7022]

Both sides

[@user-yf8qi1gn5s]

Both

[@paulrobbo321]

Very good instruction and nice technique, thanks

[@ryanhegseth8720]

Better to train both sides, the fight could start with you hurting your dominant arm or it could be restrained somehow or you could have two weapons. And the liver is on the right. Ryan -shodan 25 years exp karate / mma / jujitsu / serada escrima That’s my opinion but in reality the way I was taught serada/knife and disarms were all very one sided. It was just my laziness cause i have the skill to train the mirror image of all the moves I just never did it. I only practiced the off and moves for when I had two weapons so I could be twice as good if I had done that.

[@NickKravaritisJKD]

4:54 Looks like a Progressive Indirect Attack (P.I.A.)

Hey, I understand the importance of self-defense, but let's focus on promoting discipline, respect, and non-violence rather than emphasizing aggressive actions. Stay safe and peaceful everyone!

[@backtoprimal]

I agree but sometimes you have to have fun with what the martial arts can do and remember this is KZbin and not to take everything so seriously. Have fun. That’s the most important. 👍🏼 peace ✌️

[@SSCartelMuscle]

The elbow strike is nice but if an opponent side steps you expose the backside of your arm chicken wing to a potential strike or hold.

[@backtoprimal]

Really nothing. Just a difference in what someone decided to name them.

[@quanzeus6665]

Right Liver

[@reytrevino8284]

The liver is on the right side of the body.

[@BornAgainDude]

training both sides 50/50 only makes sense to me if you actually switch stance a lot, if you use one side 75% of the time it's you should probably spend more time training that side

[@tommycordero4001]

Similar to Kali FMA 💪
