salam....
ok back to the acid test and check list...
NATURAL WEAPONS
any good master will tell u this...the fastest attack is the hand attack...the most powerful is the kick....why?...hands is fast because it is less dense with muscle..so its lighter....and the legs...unless u are walking with your arm it should be heavier than the arms...ok...
that would be the novice training session talk...if you are now beginning to learn and mastering your silat you should be told about the 7 weapons:
-hand-2
-elbow-2
-legs-2
-head-1
and also the 9 weapons:
-plus the knee-2
how to use it is up to the silat that u learn and it should have enough reasons to undermined or focus any of the weapons...
that is the instructors manual of weapon but to the master and gurus...it is different.
every limb...every moving joints on your body can be use as a weapon..but the most dangerous weapon of all is the... mind..
silat is feared not because the agility..it belongs to kungfu and capoiera..not the hardest hitting..thats muay thai and boxing...deadly blade?..try krabi krabung or kendo...
its the tricks and deception...but again..i must remind..honour must not be neglected..no cheap shot...no disrespecting the opponent..its inteligent and wit...i have never seen any grapple that silat cannot disengage...hope fully my words are not seen as disrespect....
to be continued...salam
