Has anyone sparred any Martial art vs a Silat practitioner if so what where the results? I know that it is a Knife art but when going hand to hand is it useful? I a bit timid to try it out because you have to get in close but i am intrigued because most people have never seen it so i can surprise them. I know in some art the learning curve in lengthy in this one of them due to the timing? And has anyone ever checked it's ground game to see if it's effective. I've never seen it in mma but that me be due to the rules.
