Memphis, Tennessee 6th and 7th September 2014
Congratulations to Robin Schermerhorn on organizing & hosting his a successful Silat Suffian Bela Diri (SSBD) 2 days Intensive seminar in Memphis, Tennessee; the home of the King of Rock n' Roll on the weekend of 6th and 7th September 2014.
Thank you Robin Schermerhorn for organising and hosting the seminar.
Thank you to Duane Do for coordinating the dates and venue for the SSBD events the whole of 2014.
Thank you to Eric Olea for patience in assisting me in my instructions.
Thank you all who came to support the event, without you guys this would not have been possible.
Thank you for your support & friendship, & those all who assisted Robin without whose help the three days would not have ran as smoothly.
My apologies if I miss anyone.
This seminar like my other events aims primarily to raise the curiosity and awareness among people from different nationalities about the martial heritage and culture of Brunei Darussalam in general.

"It's a Kerambit, it's MEANT to cut your face". ...I'm glad someone finally said it

[@TheEnneagram]

That is one world-class assistant and a very lucky guy who can receive those techniques so brutally - he's learning so much more than the other guys in the room. He obviously trains a lot with Maul and travels a lot to do so. Much respect to both men.

[@freedomatlast8756]

As it should. Why fuck around when you can end it fast?

[@earlmorton6265]

I would seriously want to be asked to assist in any demonstrations. I know I wouldn't be hurt by close contact. I would definitely learn a lot quicker being personally involved in the teaching.

[@rickymarino1208]

Ive seen alot of sifu mails videos and I only see him be this aggressive a few.times with his demonstrator and I'm only assuming these guys were disrespectful.hes normally alot more courteous with his helpers... I laugh and wish to never piss sifu off ever. I was always keen to be used as the baddie.haha

Thank you..what a gift this is ..You demonstrate / break- down point by point with verbal explanation .

[@dragonniz]

I've been watching your videos for the last few weeks, and I have to say you have changed the way I see silat. Setakat yang saya dapat lihat di pengamal di depan mata (kenduri kahwin/demonstrasi etc) silat kelihatan seperti kaku (rigid), konservatif, dan kuno. Tapi apa yang yg saya lihat di channel ini, jauh berbeza, sungguh dinamik! Penuh tenaga dan setiap langkah di execute dengan bijak! Terima kasih kerana berkongsi teknik2 ini semua, kalau tiada orang yg membawa silat masuk ke zaman baru, memang boleh jadi pupus pencak silat. Awesome awesome job, keep it up!!

[@GoatCatsChickensOhMy]

Very much enjoyed this as it focused on strikes and openings created by movement. Karambit is a great defensive tool IMO, provides greater counter strikes.

[@joshuamancarter]

Great instruction. Always eager to see your videos

[@stubbk3]

Gonna make a point of training with you guys in 2015 was busy with grading in my current styles last year. This year is for fun . Great video

[@Pbmarron]

I train in Pangasinan Arnis (Kali) and I've always enjoyed how closely related Silat and Kali are. They seem to be almost sister martial arts.

[@TheSilence1]

+Peter Marron (Pbmarron) related ancestry, related languange, related martial arts :)

[@pensivenincompoop2016]

Peter Marron if you learned about Philippines' history, you will realize that many of these traditions were shared and as any separation of groups happen some revisions or improvements are made. The Indonesians and Malayans were the early ancestors of the modern day Filipinos.

[@dewasealamtunggal7843]

Serumpun

[@bluehornet197]

That's because Kali and Silat both use a lot of similar moves Silat and Kali both utilise the most simplest of all weapons the humble stick and then both eventually branch into knife fighting Kali will usually use a knife in the standard grip where as Silat will mainly use the reverse grip both arts are just as deadly as each other honestly I wouldn't want to go up against a Silat OR a Kali Warrior

[@rayward9265]

5:49 Quick Finishes is the best part of this video. Fewer unnecessary moves or unneeded ground moves.

[@Maul565]

Ray Ward thank you for the feedback. The reason for the prolonged movement is that because this a seminar attended by experienced and skilled instructors. They know how to finish a fight. The aim of the seminar is to give options and follow ups beyond what is obvious by using baits, breaking structure and correct body mechanics found in silat. As clearly mentioned in the video “because its a seminar, we prolong the fight” for the sake of learning.

[@renchi6989]

step to sideway , fight in circle , never against directly

[@johnormike811]

+MyLoft idiot

[@myloft5633]

Rendga Raymond moron

[@LepidoliteMica]

+MyLoft The level of detail you put into that scene really wasn't necessary, and it's highly unlikely to boot. I'm going to have to agree with Rendga on this one; you're an idiot with no filter.

[@LepidoliteMica]

MyLoft You're very dearly wrong. Dark humor is all well and good, when it is appropriate. In a public forum like this, where respect for the martial art is expected, it is most definitely not appropriate. Like I said, you have no filter; you can't distinguish the line between acceptable public discourse and revolting drivel, and that makes you an idiot. Shut your fucking mouth and have some respect for Silat, or get out of here and don't bother those of us that do.

[@myloft5633]

Lepidolite Mica Where did I not respect the art? Did I insult the art or the person? It was the contrary about "bad ass dark joke". Now you can spit your shit all you want it doesn't change one thing: you're not a silat practictionner you're just a wannabe like you find on the internet. Go cry in your mommy's skirt if you can't deal with the harshness of life. Silat is a MARTIAL art = war. If cutting tendons, slicing muscles makes you feint: you shouldn't even look at that art kiddo. Silat isn't about kissing and hugging your opponent. It's about attacking him before he can launch his attack, render him unable to defend and then execute him. If you think otherwise you're just an uneducated kid who shouldn't even be talking. Morons like you think martial arts is about enlightenement or some kind of pure spirtiual purpose. Wake up: martial art = art of war. War is about killing when it's necessary. It doesn't mean going all out but defending. And guess what kid? In silat it means exactly what I described. Now you can spit your complaints somewhere else. Go ask your parents to put back filtering on your browsing if it made you cry.

Sir, Very efficient and effortless action. An absolute joy just to watch. Do you have a specific program/set of training for military where we have to take into account body armour, battle belt, helmet, goggles, weapons etc.? I'm asking this because many of the vital targets are protected/covered with gear on modern soldier's ''hardware platform''. I was fortunate to participate on one of your seminars here in F-land. Thank you. All the best to you Sir!

[@andreassinaga7136]

There are two styles using karambit, first style is karambit this style for defend your self and movement kill only in critical point, and other one is kurambit style, is playing enemy so brutal and wild until your enemy ia death. As example merantau movie use karambiy style, in the raid 2 movie use kurambit style.

[@sAmZy1993]

Maul565 Hi I noticed that some kerambits have a more significant curve than others. From what I observed, kerambits with a more pronounced curve are used more by silat practitioners, and kerambits with a straighter "hawksbill" style blade are more in favour with FMA practioners. Am I making a sweeping generalization here?

[@MrSolitude14]

Samuel Lim Karambit has 3 kind of form, One with more stright blade, one with `L` blade, the point of the blade point forward, and one that has an arc curve or the standard karambit. all of these 3 are used by Silat practicioners.

[@trumpet650]

+Samuel Lim Hmmm... Maybe... My take on that would be kinda yes and no... Movement of a knife with a more or less in-line point is basically identical to the movement of a stick, which is what Filipino martial artists tend to have the most experience with - so that undoubtedly plays some role in the selection process. But the Filipino martial arts are highly individualized, so the selection of a blade is more a matter of personal taste and availability. Filipino stylists are taught to adapt to the characteristics of whatever potential weapon happens to be at hand, so I think the real driving force behind that phenomenon might be that it’s tough to find a properly made, high-quality karambit. The Pentjak Silat guys seem to have a better infrastructure for getting traditional blades out of Indonesia, than their Filipino counterparts do. Too, the karambit seems to be more common in Indonesia than the Philippines (its country of origin is commonly believed to be Sumatra, and it's still common in places like Java, as an agricultural tool). There are zillions of western-made "karambits" on the market , but most of those manufacturers seem to cater to western tastes; which basically means that they turn a karambit into a folding knife with a standard “hawkbill” blade and add a ring on the pommel - losing the unusual, radical angle of the traditional blade, and the double edge; as well as providing a lock that is fine for utility purposes, but is typically not engineered to withstand the rigors of combat - a lock can break or jar loose, and if it does, that very sharp blade can close on tender, unprotected fingers like a bear trap. All of that is unfortunate, because it eliminates about 50% of the karambit's technical vocabulary, and pretty much ruins it as a personal defense weapon, IMHO. They're still fine for solo training, though, so a lot of Filipino stylists make do with them. Too, a karambit is a surprisingly excellent utility knife. The radically angled blade will out-cut the finest serrated hawkbill in mediums like tough, slick nylon weedeater line and fishing net; and the ring helps keep your fingers away from the edge, helps secure the knife against being dropped - say, down a mountainside, into an ocean or a river or heavy brush, etc.; and it also allows you to use your fingers without having to put the knife down - all of which are superior utility features.

[@myloft5633]
