Fantastic! I've been practicing martial arts for more than 20 years now and I have to say that these are some of the best moves I've ever seen! The simplicity and rawness of Silat is what makes it the most efficient self defense system ever. Thank you for uploading!

[@נתקנילי]

The Bourne identity movie 2002

[@12scoots34]

The more I watch Maul a SSBD, the more I'm convinced that it's the best shit I've ever seen. The moves look very fluent and beautiful, but also very effective and deadly. It something I watch and imagine how it would go down in a street fight, and I can actually see it being very effective. No martial arts, or training is going to make you invincible, but I could imagine this would be about as good as you could hope for.

[@pcm7315]

He has the extra move I don't expect. He flows from one technique to another seamlessly.

[@elmanr.madrio1900]

I learned a little Kali/Silat from a poor peasant when I was in the Philippines. Before there were Philippines, Brunei, Indonesia and Malaysia, there was Srivijaya Empire and then Madjapahit Empire. The warriors of these empire practiced basically the same fighting art which is blade oriented. Just observe this fighting art from Brunei and compare it to Pekiti-Tirsia Kali from the Philippines and you will notice the great similarities of movements and techniques...

[@mikepks]

Guru Maul is truly one of the most highly skilled players that I have ever had the pleasure of witnessing. I have trained in the arts for 40 years and have seen many types of instructors he simply moves with an educated motion and is very refined. to comment on a comment prior to mine I must say "must one put there hand in the fire to see if it will burn?" Take time to think before you speak(with all do respect).

[@TheSilatiger]

probably one of the best gurus to follow,his teknik is easy to understand and for people who havent done silat practical

[@reflexflow9088]

The timing, footwork, and flow of these drills shows me this is an effective Art being performed by a Master!

[@azmanahmad70]

Saya dari Malaysia sudah mengikuti perkembangan tuan dalam ilmu gerak Silat Suffian Beladiri semenjak 2013... Saya cuba gabungkan dalam ilmu persilatan Gayong...ternyata cukup effisien gerak combat ilmu ini.

[@hur1990]

Imagine an action/martial arts movie showcasing this style of silat. Phenomenal!!! O.O

[@MarcV8888]

This teacher has beautiful fluidity and grace. You can see he enjoys training and helping people of much, much lesser skill levels than he. I wish he had a school in Florida. The one thing I nver was able to understand, is where do Silat people get their power in a regular punch or open hand strike from? And how do they prefer to train to increase their hitting power? Also, great camera work, Marco. Very interesting video. High quality!

[@azmanahmad70]

the finesse and speed and perception is just amazing, I am a student of martial arts and every video is very very impressive, please keep posting these videos =] and keep of the good work!

[@MasterBrianJohns]

Great skill level displayed in this video! Love it!

[@sidisidisyaiful4783]

Ini silat sama banget dengan silat harimau Minang pas tidak ada bedanya ....masya Allah Alhamdulillah dahsyat benar benar bela diri tingkat tinggi luar biasa 😀

[@nowayasway5258]

I think that was just phenomenal. I am absolutely sold on this amazing art.

[@HarimauCedera]

I've attended his semina in Melaka, Malaysia on 25/26th May. Superb! cant wait his comeback this nearest future in KL. Check it out..

[@von_2846]

Im from German and i grown up in Brunei im studied Brunei Martial art over 30yrs since i was 7 yrs old as Silat Kuntau / Betawi and also Filipino dirty boxing (Panantukan)

[@MarcV8888]

Thank you sakti21. What a wonderful answer because I am thinking right at this very moment of accepting an invitation to learn Pencak Silat from a teacher here in Miami, Florida. And since I always seemed to have much more power in my open hand/palm than with a boxers type punch with a closed fist, I am very happy to hear that "striking angles" will play a part in getting me to be a good striker. My hope is to learn an art that will let me use an open palm as I get much more power that way.

[@ArphenMaethor]

Very very well done. Shows a lot and makes the viewer want more. Great work. Greetings from Germany

[@pdaangsakti21]

well, so many silat schools here and each of us have different method of training, but yes that training is widely used here. but instead of sitting down, you "sit" on an invicible chair. age does not rise any problems in learning some art. in fact, many people here join silat at age of 30 to 50s. of course most join not for the martial art but for the cardiovascular exercise, but some still kicks harder than youngsters. thank you for the compliment, sir, i do hope i can help

[@DabLOPhantOM]

***** Brunei is one of the founder of Silat like other countries such as Indonesia and Malaysia. PERSILAT is an organisation of silat, they were not the founders.

[@RhythmOfLife1359]

Salam99 Guru muda Maul, yes your hands n senses are pretty fast, i think the same speed ajar-ajar Guru tua megat ainuddin (born 1961) has and be honour to meet up in Kuala Lumpur,Melayu Malaysia as sohabat brotherhood silaturahim & talks & exchange demos. Solawat33

[@sygtsutanto]

Is that karambit? I think the master ( i dont know what his name) should cast for the raid 3, become a main villain

[@vania5247]

krambit brother..or tiger claw blade

[@henrysaw3091]

If he cast as a main villain,main protagonist will die and then sequel end.😂

[@merchangdude1565]

@Tactical Fighter , hmm dnt sure because silat fighter long time ago that protect our country from western, you should learn history man

[@imamk.sabilah5365]

@Tactical Scientist lol. Are you an indonesian ? If you not please don't talk nonsense. You don't know anything about our country

[@mysoberlife.]

@@vania5247 well actually, it is called karambit. Another spelling is kerambit.

[@nathanmaynard686]

My Sifu Anthony Morgan has trained with three of the people who trained under bruce, he has been doing martial arts 43 years and he says after all that time I still find myself trying to catch Bruce.....it's like bruce said "there are no limits only plateaus and you must move beyond them," good stuff

[@hairanable]

Silat Suffian is different with Indonesian Pencak Silat. It should be alike, because Brunei and Indonesia are neighbor and in similar culture. I do not know why.

[@jeetkunedo117]

Hell yeah! Denver, CO , this guy needs to come set up a seminar man

[@ObliviousBurrito]

Man, I want Maul to come to California. I would love to cross train between his art and Largo Mano Eskrima.

[@NMIBUBBLE]

Does it matter where the art comes from its the artist expression of their own art great video

[@firmansyahsutama]

I will wait for your seminar's schedule in Jakarta, Indonesia. I really wanna learn Suffian Combative Silat..

[@VyzahFX]

People think that silat is nothing because it is something new. That is what makes it dangerous, Silat was there for more than 1000 years which only stayed in Malaysia and Indonesia. It was used to fight of the Chinese and Engish, the way they use their techniques in Silat is unknown and the attack can come from anywhere.

[@NakedSteak]

Absolutely perfect.

[@A-RLG]

the magical flow, awesome thx

[@andrewzimba7432]

Best way to find out if this or any martial art works for real is to go dojo-crashing. That's the old-school way of finding a teacher. Act like an interested student, then bum rush the head instructor. If you get your ass kicked, then he can teach you something.

[@cwdl2004]

True.. old school was challeng the teacher by locked doors & who ever walked ..was teacher or u became student . Lol

[@hansmenck]

Fantastic! I hope to see you again this year, Maul! I will be working in Germany again... Great video!

[@EtanaFMA]

We had a great time at the seminar. Thanks Maul.

[@Adler2935]

Thanks dude :) I'm training Wing Chun and Escrima. Thats why I'm interested in the way how they use weapons in silat. It's familiar to Escrima

[@johnsonerica1990]

dat was phuckin awesome man

[@diobrightside6107]

Right on every point. If I'm not mistaken, the Dog Brothers practice this art, and they are the most hardcore reality fighters out there. So there's got to be some value to it, at least on the weapons side. A lot of this is kind of impractical, but still very cool. Dan Inosanto said, "10% of what I do is for self-defense, 90% is for self-perfection"

[@hotpopcorncake]

I never seen this take down before good stuff

[@bjjfeed]

Arigatou!

[@123greggory]

Outstanding! I just love your work! Please come to Denver ! :)

[@YellowPaint100]

I love this guy moves but most punches are thrown with the right hand forward & right leg back, & the same for the left. He must have very excellent timing or precision!

[@TheLiquidfist]

Clearly......full on BEASTMODE! Awesome ability

[@tlapower]

You're ignorant, you don't train or you're influenced by UFC pop martial arts. These seminars are populated with black belts of all styles, law enforcement and military. A lot of tough guys have come to these seminars with one idea and had their minds changed by seeing what the real story is.

[@thecontemplative2]

Very nice techniques. Very fluid and functional.

[@MrSolitude14]

southern part of phils are teemed with silat practioners, alot of malay people there. moro, tausug, bajao etc are peoples that practice it.

[@azlangolong9294]

Terbaik cfu

[@HarimauCedera]

sesiapa yg bergaduh pasal silat jangan mengaku ahli silat. Ahli silat tidak bergaduh sesama sendiri tetapi saling mempelajari. Ingatan untuk saudara di nusantara.

[@brijseeker]

Very nice and much respect!

[@KaiSaiWingChunChina]

To teach italians is not an easy task! Bravo.

[@edokanza]

what ever..pencak silat .real n original indonesia..

[@cicloken1778]

i love this man

[@pukulanmelaka137]

Salam Pencak Silat - Hormat Guru Maul.. please consider doing a movie with Indonesian actors like Iko, Cecep arif.. im sure you guys will do the best to preserve semangat pendekar silat

[@alancat2705]

it's no surprise to the similarities in south east Asian martial arts. Brunei , Malaysian , Indonesian and Javanese Silat are probably very close cousins or the fighting ancestor to the many styles of Arnis , Escrima and Kali of the Philippines ; mainly due to the migrating tribes of the Majapahit empire no doubt . Great arts to mix n match with .

[@truebluekit]

In southern Philippines, there are groups of people for whom fighting is a way of life. Not only do they kill soldiers, but they dismember their victims. They exist even today. In fact, they cut the head off a Malaysian soldier in March 2013. The silat you see here is influenced by that culture. Yes, people still use these techniques in fights. And the winners don't make a habit of uploading details of their fights. Maybe because your culture is tame, you can't imagine real fights to the death

[@KUS25]

im sure in the Philippines you have plenty of silat classes or you could just start of with kali as there are lots of similarities between both.

[@ObliviousBurrito]

You should also search for the Atienza Brothers Kali mass attack scenario videos. Their videos might possess the self-defensive urgency and realism that comes with a combative situation, unlike most schools that have a controlled and cooperative environment.

[@gilbertoestradaalvarez1423]

good job

[@ajjkdluigi8687]

Pain is the best teacher

[@silatguy]

awesome as usual. the end was my favourite haha

[@DabLOPhantOM]

If Im not mistaken, I read somewhere on internet that Brunei is one of the founder!

[@djlfabrications70]

Everytime I watch this the flow is beautiful :o)#

[@kerkuilloverbudo]

Brilliant Guru Maul, Great Video and music

[@seniartkreatif]

i am in awe...

[@jabrielpurple1351]

kerenn bangetttt......amazing!!

[@nathanmaynard686]

yes I recognized many of the moves, like hubid lubid which I practice in my Wing Chun Do class

[@Quantum3691]

Silat is a beautiful flowing art with and without weapons. I understand it's application in practice to develop eye hand coordination, but I would be more interested in seeing it applied in a full contact realistic fight setting/environment. Real fighting is dynamic and unpredictable by nature.

[@eagleeyes6132]

watch silat sport

[@persada5913]

Do you have some kind of death wish?! Silat is a killer art or the art for assassin. It's used to kill or amputate your enemies!

[@truebluekit]

Maybe it's a cultural difference. Even Malaysian Chinese are not aware that when their Malay friends use silat on them, it is the play version. We use the flat of our feet and not the edge, block with our fleshy forearms and not strike with bone, our locks stop when we get a firm grip instead of going all the way and tearing muscle. See v=ryN2ypREsIs How easy it is to just rip out that arm from its socket. v=vNnDuiG0Y7I Which of those moves you think is OK to fool around with? I'd like to know

[@ObliviousBurrito]

Venancio Bacon, a practitioner of Balintawak Eskrima was confirmed to have killed a man when he disarmed a knife from a mugger that approached him from behind. Vincente Carin, a practitioner of Doce Pares Eskrima was confirmed to have killed 3 or 4 of his assailants in order to rescue his friend despite being ambushed and sustaining severe injury.

[@1indonesiaku]

Only bare hands are allowed in a competitive match, just like in all other self-defense systems that would normally use weapons in their instructions. Weapons are used only in competitive performances/shows and, well, in a non-sport environment, obviously. :)

[@aardvarkhendricks6555]

Great choreography

[@MERVILLE3]

I love the guys that dislike Maul's videos. I wonder what their wee agenda is. Anyway, amazing stuff as always

[@pdaangsakti21]

where do pesilat get their power in a regular punch or open hand strike from? please allow me to answer this, as i am a pesilat from indonesia (therefore please forgive my bad english). we do train our strength, but mainly we get those power you wonder from many factors, such as timing, momentum, striking angles, speed, and precision to vital spots.

[@pdaangsakti21]

those replies might give you some image on how you deal with weapons -- silat style. true, my silat school also teach us to get on safe side first before engaging to next tech. but the essential part is there: SAFETY FIRST. so, you don't necessarily disarm or restrain the weapon, you could just use that against the attacker himself, or lock him, or better: finish him immediately before the knife reaches your skin without locks or disarm techs. doable if you have knowledge and sufficient training

[@rahasia2alpha]

We love silat...regard ...Nusantara &Melayu ,,,,Peace with Silat. :)

[@Mukminmelayu]

Nice HD video...

[@jamesinct]

deadly style , love it

[@lorcrasta]

Mis respetos.

[@guitardaddy6]

They say that in the end most martial arts end up looking very similar. there are only so many things you can do to the human body...granted an endless amount of choices based on situation. i've never heard of hubid lubid but i will look it up. :)

[@azribobby]

I lovin it!!

[@ultraZerO1980]

satu lagi karya terbaek dari cikgu Maul :)

[@ArphenMaethor]

Also Silat works much with dislocations, bone breakers and stuff so when the enemy goes down with weapon in hand he either CANT USE it anymore due to muscledamage OR he wont cause of pain shock

[@johnhans1]

Any chance you'll ever come to Raleigh, NC?

[@aurelioruiz9365]

Maul the more i c ur videos the more impresed i am very good job ...n do u have any places to teach in arizona?

[@shuyichou3542]

What is the background music?Dose anyone know?pleas tell me thanks.

[@JosiahWarren]

i could not agree more my friend , this is a sure way to defeat .as mushashi would say.

[@pdaangsakti21]

i'm sorry, what is nuoc mam? but i see Vietnam is rising in Silat, they compete well and some champions are from Vietnam

[@ObliviousBurrito]

You should take a look at WEKAF competitions that employ a variety of FMA systems. Since you seem so concerned whether or not esoteric and art-oriented martial arts systems hold up in a non-staged environment. Practitioners of Silat have their own competitions as well, where non-staged, non cooperative, but regulated tournaments occur.

[@tlapower]

Is Vietnam silat any good or too full of nuoc mam?

[@rdnycannon]

Love your talent and hard work ... Hope to attend one of your seminars soon.. You going to be near New Orleans, LA anytime in near future?

[@agodinruins]

maul should choreograph some hollywood fights. this looks awesome.

[@amakkiki]

He should play a movie in Hollywood

[@pdaangsakti21]

actually my silat school gives the opportunity to use weapons in real-life-simulated situations. while it's just simulation, both (or more) pupils move freely and strike with whatever technique he want, and targets wherever he want. and my knee got slashed by a real sword. so, is it real enough?

[@cynik75]

Brilliant... But I am not sure if he can fight.

[@jjs3890]

In a cage, probably no wothout getting disqualified. But Silat is not ment for sport. On the streets, I have no doubts he could handle himself quite well. Lol.

[@cynik75]

Fight is not only about legal or illegal techniques. Is is about ability to create oportunities and adapt to changing situation. It is about being calm in fight. This cannot be developed by drills and training with compliant partners. It can be developed only by sparring or fighting - BY THE EXPERIENCE. So I have doubts if he can hadle himself well (especially against no bum opponent).

[@jjs3890]

@@cynik75 Disagree. There is no way you're going to spare eye, throat, groin attacks with breaks and dislocations. There are methods for safe sparing but not the same. The techniques and strategies of folate have been battle proven for centuries in actual combat. In my opinion, knowing both cambt and sport methods provides the best well rounded self defense. Ability to fight or destroy the attacker given the proper use of force.

[@cynik75]

But we stiil do not have answer if he (or his students) can fight. Theres is no trace of non complaint training methods in Mauls vids. No trace of any king of sparring. No trace of proof that he or one of his students have ever tried one of his techniques on seriously resisting trained opponent. And fact that hundreds years ago somebody has killed somebody on battlefield is meaningless in this case. And the case is: CAN HE OR HIS STUDENTS FIGHT?

[@jjs3890]

@@cynik75 well if some one or people try to kill him then we can find out. As a former police officer and US Marine, I would easily put my money on people training this discipline in a life and death situation than any sport fighting at which apparently provides "proof". Combat and sport are nothing close to the same thing.

[@accesssam]

silat and pekiti tirsia kali are very similar. perhaps they have a common origin.

[@fredmac1607]

These fighting styles are good for maintaining a certain fitness level. In real world street fights the attack isn't slow and choreographed. The attack is often quick and unpredictable. And a lot of times you are in a confined space or have limited movement because of innocent bystanders. Plus you're not trying to mess up your clothes by rolling around on the ground. But good training video though.
