LOL. Probably depends on who you ask. According to what I was taught, no, it doesn't come from a Chinese Kuntao system (though it may have been influenced by some Chinese Kuntao over the course of its development - but based on what I've seen of Serak and Chinese Kuntao - I don't think it came from Kuntao).
By "high positions" do you mean "stand up" as opposed to "groundfighting"? If so, then Serak is mostly a stand up system but also has groundfighting. Some of the groundfighting I saw when I was training in Serak had a distinct Harimau look to it. But some of the other groundwork I've seen in Serak wasn't much like Harimau.
Nope, I can't think of any system names of Filipino Silat taught here - on the rare occasion that I've heard it mentioned, it's just been in a generic way.
BTW - are you the same "krys" that's on Martial Arts Planet? If so, I'm "pesilat" there and I think we've talked some over there, too, right?
