salam...
my friend...its obivious to me that u relate silat with knife..actually silat is much more than knife or kris...the philosophy goes beyond attacks also...its about humanity and honour...a silat master does not relies on weapons....me myself dont belief in weapons..in the u.s actually its much more freedom for the citizens to own weapons..concealed or not.. because of the high civics expectation...and about the gun issue...the N.R.A surely agrees with that...for me..i hope to change the mind set of the pesilat outside nusantara so that they dont view silat as only about knife,kerambit or kris...hopefully they understand that silat is about the mind and soul...it developes humanity and unity....tant01...i believe u have experience the deadly form of silat thru knife and conceal weapons...but do u believe that the knife pierce the skin? or is it the skin is too soft to repel the knife?...think about it..as the masters made me think about it...and hopefully u will understand...with salam and respect..
