Hey everybody.

Zimbah, I know Merpati Putih is from Central Java, so I believe you know what you're talking about. But I've heard that it was used to train the Sultan's guards and only in more recent history has been taught to the public. What you're describing with power through breath control sounds similar to Nampon from West Java, which is an ''internal'' art. It seems like the Sultan's guards would have wanted a more hands-on method to protect their leader. Could you share some more information on this art, so I might add to my limited understanding of it.

Terus, itu menarik tentang akronimnya. Pasti bahasa Jawa, bukan? Oleh karena itu saya tidak mengerti maksudnya. Terima Kasih.

Joseph
