Interesting point about silat if you think Judo is "new". Back in the mid 1960's Donn Draeger himself introduced several judo throws to the founder of Bhakti Negara, Ida Bagus Oka Dinwangkara. These are a few of the Judo techniques you will find in modern Pentjak Silat.
Osoto-gari, osoto-otoshi (-gake, -guruma), Kouchi-gari, Kouchi-gake, Ippon seoi-nage...
Not to mention the shime, atemi and kansetsu waza...Very interesting similarities.
