Silat Cool Clip of the month

Hello everyone.
This clip is of my good friend Guru Max Green of Fractal Fighting Arts.
Not only is he a very skilled Persilat and teacher but a great man with a deep knowledge of many styles of West Javanese Pencak Silat and good pal to boot.

Im posting two clips here, the first is labeled "Become the art" which speaks volumes of the depth one should go to to fully claim an incite into Pencak Silat. Pencak was once described as an old priceless Swiz clock. If you take the back off one of these and peer inside at the complex mechanism to the complex array of cogs and wheels which work together to become the clock. you take out one of those cogs you dont have a clock you have just a cog its only in its entirity that its a clock; this is the same with Pencak Silat.
Second is from Max's Dublin workshop giving great example of Perisai Setia (Faithful Shield) and general Silat structures. For more information on Guru Max please visit fractalfightingarts.com

Anyway enough rambling heres Max in action ; )

Fighting For Lives 2011 (Lowline Matjan and Kerambit Workshop)

Hey guys.
As you are probably aware I co-teacher at a workshop in aid of  Fighting For Lives Children's Charity weekend of Nov 13th.

The event was in Dundee Scotland the turnout was great, everyone had a awesome day. The material I covered was Lowline Matjan and Lowline Karambit I had a wonderful time.
I wanted to use this venue to say a big thank you to Max for teaching with me on the day to everyone who attended and help raise money for children who really need our help; we're blessed in that, we can train in what we enjoy and still raise money for such a worthy course. Guru Max is a fine persilat and it was an honor to teach and train alongside him. I would highly recommend anyone in Scotland wanting to train in Pencak Silat to visit his website Fractal Fighting Arts.

The latest amount raised worldwide on the day was (And Im sure Bro Parv will correct me if I'm wrong) was circa 6300 Euros and pledges are still coming in.
Anyone wanting to know more about the charity and the amazing work they do to visit the website above and if you want to donate there's a button there. And to all the other instructors around the world I'm sure Parvez would joining me in saying a huge thanks you for all your hard work.

Thank you.

"Blogwalking" ??

Hello everyone before I post my latest articles and clips Id like to talk a little about a phenomenon previously unknown to me called "Blogwalking"
Ive noticed over the past few months that an increasing amount of spam left from people Blogwalking was being left in my Chatbox. This was meant for fans and followers to leave constructive comments regarding Pencak Silat and to communcate ideas and concepts not for strangers to come and leave spam and links to their sites.

To those blogwalkers all I can say is FUCK OFF! leave your shit somewhere else.... please ;)
