ok...first of all the WIRALOKA is not a silat...that is something that all of us must be clear of...its a fix pattern or a kata that is created by the international silat assosiation to be competed in the silat championship...the pattern was develope in indonesia and through the silat academy in indonesia the pattern was tought to key officials from counties that compete in the world silat championship...
due to the various silat form all over the nusantara,wiraloka is the pattern that is hope to represent the variety...it consist of 99 steps and most not be altered in any way...this means the standard feature of a steps must be the same but the movement to that step can varies...example..
step one....standing straight
step two...left leg pulled back
the jurney of the left leg to the rear can be fast and simple or slow and with artistic gesture..its game...no problem
but going from step 1 to 3 without the 2..will lose you the vital points...
in this thread i will also post the official manual for wiraloka...the original version...given to me by my teacher,the initial officials that was tought the wiraloka in indonesia...if any of pesilat out there that have any comments and question about the wiraloka...please post here and maybe we can discuss more so that all angles are covered...thanks...
salam...
