I was thinking about taking silat. From what I hear it's a lot of locks and low stances. Is that what the stlye is like? Is there also animal forms (I think I saw a clip of someone doing one, maybe it was tiger, I could be totaly wrong). Also, are the stances very low? I think I saw another clip of someone doing a form in silat. Reason why I am asking is that I had my knee scoped a few years ago, and my knee does not like it when I go too low. I am also in my 30's too. I am looking for a proven style of self defence. Thanks for any input.
