What weapons are taught in this system
Most of the Javanese silat I saw has a lot of groundfighting (especially Setia Hati Terate), in some filipino silat systems it is 80% groundfighting.....
Ah the world of silat is small, yes I am the same krys... welcome pesilat-sikal. |
Serak is a "Pukulan" (word primarily used by Dutch/Indonesians) system - which means it's heavy on striking. Most of the Silat that I've seen was Javanese. Mande Muda is a composite system that draws from a lot of Silat systems - most of them are Javanese. Many of them have a lot of stand up material - or, at least, the components I saw of them in Mande Muda were stand up. Most of the groundwork in the Mande Muda I saw was drawn from Harimau.
