i have no experience with silat, nor am i a practitioner of the art, i just decided to answer because nobody else had given you a reply for a few days.
all i really know is that silat is pretty much an umbrella term like kung fu is, and that many many different arts fall under this umbrella. there are many different kinds of silat, not just 1 standard art. i hear there may actually be thousands of sytems and styles that fall under this umbrella, all with their own areas of emphasis. silat includes many different weapons as well.
it seems like silat gets most compared to the FMAs.
