Me again
Just to keep you all in the loop, I have the great honour of being asked to teach as a guest instructor at the
Fighting for Lives "Invite only" charity event due to be held on the 24 October · 12:00 - 18:00.

Firstly I'd like to thanks the host for the opurtunity to work, not only with him, but for such a worthy charity.
Secondly, the aim is to raise money for the "Berur Project" to help street children in Kenya.

Here's our right up and plan of days events:

Sion-marc Simpson:
Pukulan Pencak Silat Cimande Binatang

Other Instruction in :
Pukulan Kombinasi
Combined styles from West Java
Pamonyet (Monkey), Pamacan (Tiger), Cikalong and the Pukulan system.

On the day we will be covering relevant aspects of these art to help you go away at the end of it with material you can progress with. Not just a collection of techniques but the threads that bind these arts together.

Pukulan Cimande Binatang Pencak Silat and will be sharing the lime-light with Guru Vinnie's group of Silat Fitra.
Here's the narative of the advert:
Fans of Asian food and lifestyle are in for a treat as for one night only, Trafalgar Square is transformed into a traditional pasar malam. Around 20 individual stalls run by Malaysian restaurants will be serving dishes in an event designed to showcase the authentic and vibrant cuisine of Malaysia. From laksa and nasi goreng to satay and beef rendang, Malaysia Night will offer Londoners the chance to experience the very best of Malaysian food and visitors will be able to purchase authentic ingredients, including herbs and spices and traditional Malaysian drinks and cakes. The night is one of the highlights of the year-long Malaysia Kitchen campaign which aims to inspire British consumers to the world of Malaysian cuisine. And with contemporary performances on stage throughout the night, visitors will be able to experience a wonderful little slice of Malaysian culture.

Needless to say we're looking forward to our first public performance period and in such a venue the pressures on ;) But please come along and get an insight into the beauty of Malaysian culture.

Cool Silat Clip

Hey guys and girls.
Here's this weeks cool clip of the week.
Here we see the very talented Guru / Professeur  Sébastien Véroult of the FISFO system. Guru Véroult is I believe a student of the renowned Pendekar Charles Joussot one of my biggest inspirations when I began my Silat journey many years ago..
Please take the few minuites to check out Guru Sébastien Véroult Guru Veroult and his teacher who is one of the most functional Persilats in Europe if not the world IMO.

Here's the clip there's many fine clips on You Tube if you do a search of him and Professeur Joussot
