I learned the perforance aspect of the Langka Silat from Dolly Banzon of Mindanao who was a very well known cultural dancer there. As an Escrima practitioner I could easily see the interpretations of the movements, but it was not taught in a combative context. Also, the escrima I learned growing up was very much influenced by the southern styles as Tatay Marquina who taught us was formerl a cultural dancer and some of the motions like cross stepping, and some of the very low positions we learned were reminicent of silat.
