Rather than re-invent the wheel ...check out Guro Cass Magda's web site (www.cassmagda.com). He's got great articles on Pentjak Silat and Kali. Also, Google Video or YouTube search Pendekar Steven Benitez (www.eastweststudios.com) for some great video clips.
Train well...

i have no experience with silat, nor am i a practitioner of the art, i just decided to answer because nobody else had given you a reply for a few days.
all i really know is that silat is pretty much an umbrella term like kung fu is, and that many many different arts fall under this umbrella. there are many different kinds of silat, not just 1 standard art. i hear there may actually be thousands of sytems and styles that fall under this umbrella, all with their own areas of emphasis. silat includes many different weapons as well.
it seems like silat gets most compared to the FMAs.Leave a comment:

Please tell me about silat
Hey guys I actually have never really ventured into the Indonesian martial arts forum, but I have been curious about silat,
what can you guys tell me about it, is it a soft style or hard style?
Internal or external? etc.... Is it good for fighting or more for self defense..
Mostly I hang out in the urban combatives forum.
anyways, any help is appreciated
