There are no traditional schools in my area that teach Silat let alone teach the technique with the correct vocabulary. I really appreciate this Guru Sakam. My point of reference for this review is in person classes with Sakan, and dozens of online classes. This course very nicely covers the Silat basics and dr This course very nicely covers the Silat basics and drills. The video player is responsive enough that skipping back a few seconds for review does not lag my browser.
The audio is clear, with no echo or buzz to impede your understanding. The camera angle is positioned perfectly to capture the footwork. Which is fantastic as I find that to be the most challenging to learn yet rewarding element of Silat.
A concise and well-presented course, a good mix of practical basics and some more challenging training for the intermediate martial artist. Recommended and w Recommended and will look out for further courses from Core Combat. Definitely worth the value!

Plus, you'll get to ramp-up your training--and skill level--with more advanced combos and drills. Overall, after buying countless videos during the past 35 years most of them worthless , I've never seen such value packed into such an effective and concise yet complete course like this.
I really liked the structure and content of the course. Straight to the point and nice drills to work on. The "Solo Silat at Home" course is a very comprehensive introduction into the basic techniques of Silat.
The techniques are explained and presented with a The techniques are explained and presented with a great attention to detail that makes them easy to understand, even for beginners.
Even having some background in Silat I feel like I learned a lot from this. I realized that the techniques will help me with other martial arts I practise.

The striking techniques will help improve your power as well as training you to keep your elbows in so you are not telegraphing your punches.
I highly recommend this course to anyone who is interested in learning something new or just work on improving on the basics.
Don't shy away from it even if you are a beginner. It's like female fans of Rod Stewart saying he's so ugly that he's cute, Jiang's fights are so sloppy that they're great.
Just when you think Jiang can't get any worse the attack ante rises as Yasuaki Kurata skulks onto the screen as the nefarious nemesis from Nippon, who oozes the animalistic intensity that Sonny Chiba brought to his Street Fighter films, yet Kurata's hapkido kicks elevate the film's frays and makes Jiang look like a 20 th degree black belt in everything.
Midway through the finale, Zhen taps into his Buddha Prayer Fist, a cheesy and effective turning point in the fight as they begin battling on a fast-moving freight train with the frenzied intensity of Lee Marvin vs. Ernest Borgnine in Hitchcock's savage barreling train skirmish in Emperor of the North The emotional sacrifice of breathless intent behind the assault asphyxiates every moment of the fight for them and us.
This was a rare accomplishment in Chinese kung fu films that also featured the bewitching soundtrack of Black Magic Woman by Santana. Overall, the fights in The Gallant are intense and well-choreographed, and Wang portrays each character and their fighting skills with dexterous prowess and violent acumen. In The Stranger , a trapped woman flees from an abusive Triad into the arms of a man Wang that's part James Bond and knight in shining armor.
He doesn't use a gun or sword instead he's armed with flaming fists and combustible kicks, and fights with tiger intensity soaked in an avalanche of bowling balls that uses up to 25 technique per shot to destroy the kingpin.
The somber Stranger Attending the Tomb features Wang as a heavy-hearted prodigal son who while guarding his father's grave laments on his own sinful past, while his sister believes her brother is the last bastion of goodness in the world. When she's threatened by a gang of grave-robbing rebels that want to loot the father's grave, with snapping dragon fists, and a pitchfork and shovel, Wang goes more berserk than Billy Jack at an OK Corral spree that is filled with wretched revenge and insane disdain.
In The Avenger , a man Wang returns home from prison after taking the rap for a treasure heist to protect two accomplices, his father-in-law, and the double-crossing Li San. While the man was away, San killed the father-in-law and heinously coveted the man's wife.
With two daggers in hand, it's time to unleash a whirlwind of steel-slashing bewitchment upon San and his clan. Never say, "Cut it out," to a former inmate with blades. However, when Ben and father use arnis to thrash two cowardly sons of the Philippines' first colonial governor Legazpi, and stop them from raping his mum, Legazpi retaliates by killing Ben's father, raping then killing his mum, and shipping Ben to Los Mananos to be executed. Desperate to escape the storm-ravaged sinking ship, when forced to kill the captain and conquistadors blocking his way, Ben is mortally wounded.
Washing up on an unchartered island he stumbles upon the old, now blind master who teaches Ben and how to make arnis sticks that can withstand sword strikes, which he needs as he prepares to battle Legazpi, his two sons and Mori, their hired deadly samurai bodyguard. Though the muscle bound Dantes could have mimicked Lee's Enter the Dragon eskrima fights to become a Filipino Bruce Lee, he chose to using effective traditional stick fighting, applying simple disarming techniques, heaven-six double-stick maneuvers, and kali knife skills.
The impressive aspect of the arnis, Spanish fencing and samurai sword action is that each fighter stuck to their respective arts. After Chief LapuLapu killed Magellan with a Filipino kampilan dagger in , natives were forbidden to carry swords.
These historical homage moments are subliminally intertwined into the film. It's a brutal yarn about two Taiwanese undercover agents Roc and Tian Hao sent to Hong Kong to stop powerful Triads and Yakuza bosses peddling opium and other vices.
It's also one of the most outstanding kung fu films I've ever seen, not because of the bizarrely effective and entertaining fight scenes, but because of two things that no other Taiwanese-made kung fu film has ever done. One, the film's most powerful scene is when Chinese boss Chen Hung-lieh proves his loyalty to the Yakuza boss by calmly breaking his own leg while chatting with him. When the Yakuza boss offer to see him home, the Triad boss, with hypnotic calm replies, "I'll manage it alone, thank you.
It's as gripping as a pair of rock-climbing shoes on flypaper. And if that that wasn't enough, it takes a minute to realize the English dubbing is excellent. It's the beauty of shooting without sound. The Chinese actors were saying their lines in English, thus having true lip movement and then dubbing the lines later with English speakers. I did several scenes like this in Battle for the Republic of China Roc delivers his lines with a Humphrey Bogart-esque grunting lisp and glare and displays fighting savvy with the cool of Napoleon Solo.
His strait-laced posture and swanky placement of look-away kicks looks in the opposite direction a split second before making contact are alive with voodoo magic. As the current NASKA tournament season slows down and comes to a close, it's the perfect time to evaluate yourself as a performer.
The time between now, and the first tournament in January is a crucial period that any serious sport karate competitor will use to study the highs and lows of their competition year even if it was shorter this year. This is a time to set new goals, and to make new material for multiple performances next season.
As competitors train and put their new forms together, a common mistake made is to copy the trend of what is winning. I mean, in theory it makes sense; if something is working, why change it? Unfortunately, this is a common trap that competitors tend to fall into that doesn't help the sport prosper into its full potential.
Don't conform to the norm! Instead, try to come up with original ideas that you have fun training. If you have fun when you are doing certain movements then when you perform you will also look like you are enjoying it.
When a competitor is enjoying what they are doing they are more confident and because they are confident, they look more relaxed.
This is crucial, especially for high caliber performances with a lot of difficult moves and in the case of a weapons routine, difficult releases. The more relaxed you are, the better you will be able to pull off those tricks. Another reason why competitors should stray away from doing moves that have already been done before is because they'll never be able to develop their own styles and have tricks or moves that they're known for if they're too busy doing moves that already exist.
The fastest way to get recognized is to do combinations that haven't been seen before. This means combining different angles of strikes, spins, and switching up unique transitional moves. This also means not having a "cookie cutter" form layout. As a competitor myself that has been competing since , I have seen a lot of trends come and go.
