Cimande may be more than a spelling variation, according to my sources there are more than 300 styles of Cimande silat...
The Internet is so cool. Twenty-five years ago anything silat was secret. Today it seems like a tsunami of silat! Everyone has a Cousin-Uncle or Grandpa with a style of his\her own! Awesome!
