Silat Hands for Self Defence

For more information on future and past seminars please visit:
2 Bruneian students studying in the UK wanted Guru Maul to teach them the basics of self defence. The first part of training is having good coordination before anything else.
This is their first formal training so it was kept mainly on the fundamentals. They did well in 2 hrs.
This is “The Hands of Silat”. No foot trapping, sweeps, locks or takedowns.

[@jayabdih1]

my late father and two late uncles were martial arts trainer like kuntau, harimau dan batawi in the Interior part of Sabah but I only learned the bunga silat while the buah, sword and sticks I missed. They died of old age. And Sifu Suffian's buah I think that I have missed. I am an old generation of Sabahan and looking forward to meet this sifu to learn more about the buah and especially the attack.

Just beautiful, entry is everything....

[@kurialfarez5209]

Finally can see the movement in slow, Very different when come to any other style especially silat it's self, not as sport martial art but as genuine self defense. I hope I can flow like that,cause when I'm trying to do that my movement is to stiff lol. Hope your video can show the detail like this too

[@steverogers4612]

I was waiting for a new video for quite some time. Thank you Maul!!

Self defence lain mind set nya.. Tq mr maul.. Distance n reference point dpt ceduk sikit dlm video yg ni😅

[@haroldz123]

At 10:36, the guy asked what the difference between boxing n self defense. The Guro explained boxing mindset is different (attacking for points -competition) while self defense is waiting n keeping distance.

[@openview8463]

Maul does nice martial arts and a pretty cultural thing but it has little-to-nothing to do with self defense (SD) for the average person. So Maul should stop advertising it as SD because it is an attitude that will get people hurt. And certainly SD also has very little do with "waiting and keeping distance". On the contrary, in SD we must attack, attack, attack. Note some key points: First, neither practiser protects his head and neck - but this is the MOST important thing to do in SD situations. In the real world, 90% of opponents will fiercely attack us around the head with blows and grapples. But Maul's teaching completely ignores that. Most fights are over when some either gets hit in the head or neck or gets his head captured. That is the real world. Second, there is very little blocking and no trapping at all in real world SD. If you try to trap and block like this in the real world, you will get sh1t knocked out of you. Third: The idea of "arm destructions" - as they are often called - is total bullsh1t. No one on earth has the reflexes or presence of mind to strike and damage the arm of an attacker in a true fighting context. This has never happened in the entire history of the world and never will happen. Maul always puts on a good show but it is just that, a show. Do not make the potentially fatal mistake of thinking this is a self defense style.

@@openview8463 Please respect on old martial arts. This old martial art is proven efficient long before the MMA existed. MMA also derived from old martial arts. Can we say MMA came from nowhere?

[@yusof843]

@@openview8463 Bro.. I seriously think you should experience hands on session with Guru Maul. You may have a background in streetfighting etc. But seriously Guru Maul taught his Silat System not just to enforcers, polices, security guards but even bouncers that work with real life situations..

[@PenaAmatur]

@@openview8463 nah. If ever, people like you are the only one that'll get hurt if you ever came face to face with the like of maul. Attacking is also a kind of motion in physic. Kinetic and potential. He teaches how to counter attack, meaning when you have 0 kinetic, kinda like deacceleration while you are ready to accelerate. I dont have time to explain the science behind it. Go figure it out. Bear in mind, if you make people miss their attack, that's a defence. And then you counter "attack". The speed? Well, i dont think you were born running. That's why we train to develop the speed and instinct, as much and as best as we could. Sure you cant 100percent guarantee you'll be safe defending, but what makes you think you can 100 percent end a fight with attacking? To defend is to wait and hope that the fight dont even start, so you can go home safely without any fusses.

[@zarulsulaiman2062]

@@openview8463 that we call baiting in silat,. .. if we dont cover our head and neck.. where is the part that enemy aim? Of course head and neck right? Easy predict lol😆😆

[@deejin25]

Really wish there were subtitles. I do like that they are defending punches from a boxing format, using the angles that punches come at in the modern world, more or less. The punches don't retract and the format is semi cooperative, so it would be interesting to come up with a training method that could use a more aggressive attacker with some boxing gloves on who is trying to make some more moderate contact. I think it would be cool to be able to utilize these in a sparring situation.

This might be the best video you've posted for providing insight into the nuts and bolts basics of your system Maul. Thank you!! I hear you mention reference points in a lot of your videos, but I am unclear on exactly what the term means in the context of your system. It appears to me to be a "point of no return" for your opponent/partner in terms of body positioning - i.e.; no matter what basic strikes they throw at that point you have a controlling answer, they have few enough degrees of freedom in offensive movement that you are prepared to intercept. Is this a correct interpretation?

[@openview8463]

Because if you think that you can use them for self defense, you could get hurt. Look at video of real fights. Do you think that trapping and blocking and arm destructions are really possible in such situations? Be realistic.

[@yusof843]

@@openview8463 Bro this trapping and parring technique was given birth during fights, battles and wars. The reason why it's not effective is because the practioner is not highly trained/experienced. That's what the difference between the real and unpolished fighter.

[@Freedomspy26]

@@openview8463 thats the problem with people thinking that they train to use a "move" just to use in a fight. no. u train and drill a thousand times for the off chance in a fight it allows you to execute such moves. you train a move 1000 times not to use it 1000 times but for that 1 off chance u might be able to use it. the drills are to instill proper movement and muscle memory. so when a fight do happen, you know by instinct ok i can do this etc etc in ANY situation you may be cornered into. you train to be able to react to any situation. not train to use a particular move or plan to ok im gonna do this this this and break his arm.

[@BakkerSamuel]

Does he also have any sparring videos?

[@lakerstekkenn]

The only problem i have is the double blocking of one hand striking at you, first it's not going to work against a fresh fighter who is throwing as fast as he can and he's not leaving his arms there that long and will be throwing punches full speed and a well trained conditioned fighter will not slow down speed wise. Also i would block with just one hand and leave my other hand ready for a counter attack, from his free hand, always be ready for a different attack. Other then this there's nothing wrong with the blocking techniques and i do the same. Blocking is a timing technique and should be done for hours, using a combinations of different striking techniques and unorthodox different angles striking techniques and kicking techniques and should be done against people of different sizes and weight.

The bottom half of China 2,500 years ago was populated by a people called the Nan-Yue. They had tattoos, short hair, and were renowned seafarers. If that doesn’t sound Polynesian-Melanesian I don’t know what does. Over a thousand years they were pushed South to become the Dai, and Yue people, and eventually the Vietnamese who also call themselves Yue, as do the Cantonese Han Chinese. Not to mention the aboriginal peoples of Taiwan and Hainan islands. I used to think Wing Chun came from the Miao kingdoms who were originally of Mongol stock and were pushed South. I was wrong. Looking at Silat’s hand defense it is obviously related to Wing Chun Sticking Hands (Chi Sao). I see a Pacific origin for Southern Chinese fighting arts. From Hainan Island to Hunan Province in Central South China, one sees people of obvious Polynesian-Melanesian descent. I have been there to both places and seen with my own eyes. China is full of fake legitimizing myths such as the Dragon boat origin myth of patriot Chu Yuan when dragon boats were around a thousand years beforehand with aboriginal minority cultures. Wing Chun has its own fake origin myth of the Red River Boat of patriotic actors and performers fighting Qing (Manchu) rule. They’ll literally make up any story to avoid recognizing an origin of a cultural tradition that comes from a conquered people. Silat is the parent of Wing Chun. It’s obvious and simple and the demographic history backs it up. South China was not just Indianized like Cambodia, Laos and Champa in Vietnam and Hainan. It was originally populated by a seagoing people who either came from Southeast Asia or originated in East Asian mainland ended up in island Southeast Asia today. Which is why the Philippines and Borneo and the Malay Peninsula are an untapped martial arts gold mine. People have too readily swallowed the mythologies of dominant cultures and not looked behind the curtain to see the real masters in their little island communities quietly passing on amazing, rich traditions.
