Book excerpt: Renowned silat instructor Burton Richardson, who has cross-trained in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, kali, jeet kune do and muay Thai, reveals what his knowledge of those systems and MMA helped him identify as the best silat tactics and techniques for modern self-defense. His Silat for the Street breaks down fights into various sections to make them more readily understandable. They include the following: * Footwork -- These movement patterns will give you the advantage when you need to attack an opponent. * Entries -- They will enable you to safely and dynamically enter into close quarters, where you can fire your weapons or execute a takedown. * Clinch positions -- These inside control positions will permit you to trap your opponent's arms, neck or body while minimizing your chance of being hit. * Takedowns -- These moves offer a variety of methods for getting an opponent on the ground, all of which are explained in detail. * Ground fighting -- This part of silat enables you to quickly dispatch an opponent if you end up on the ground. * Sarong tactics -- This section demonstrates how you can use a towel or jacket as a makeshift weapon of self-defense.

Book The Fighting Art of Pencak Silat and its Music

Download or read book The Fighting Art of Pencak Silat and its Music written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-01-12 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fighting arts have their own beauty, internal philosophy, and are connected to cultural worlds in meaningful and important ways. Combining approaches from ethnomusicology, ethnochoreology, performance theory and anthropology, the distinguishing feature of this book is that it highlights the centrality of the pluripotent art form of pencak silat among Southeast Asian arts and its importance to a network of traditional and modern performing arts in Southeast Asia and beyond. By doing so, important layers of local concepts on performing arts, ethics, society, spirituality, and personal life conduct are de-mystified. With a distinct change in the way we view Southeast Asia, this book provides a wealth of information about a complex of performing arts related to the so-called 'world of silat'. An ancillary media companion website (www.bits4culture.org/pencaksilatandmusic/) is part of this work. Login authorisation information is included in the book. Contributors include: Bussakorn Binson, Jean-Marc de Grave, Gisa Jähnichen, Margaret Kartomi, Zahara Kamal, Indija Mahjoeddin, Ako Mashino, Paul H. Mason, Uwe U. Paetzold, Kirstin Pauka, Henry Spiller and Sean Williams.

Book Pencak Silat in the Indonesian Archipelago

Download or read book Pencak Silat in the Indonesian Archipelago written by O’ong Maryono and published by Yayasan Pustaka Obor Indonesia. This book was released on 2023-03-16 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effort O'ong Maryono has made to compile a book on the development of pencak silat, is, in itself, commendable. This integrated presentation provides for a better and more comprehensive understanding of the various aspects of pencak silat. As well as discussing the historical aspects of pencak silat, O'ong Maryono also examines current issues in pencak silat. In other words, a retrospective and prospective view of pencak silat. I hope that this book will be widely read, and provide a 'lively' and substantial critical analysis that will improve the quality of discourse on pencak silat as a whole. Edy Sedyawati Director General of Culture Department of Education and Culture This book is quite unique. Unique in the literal sense: there is no other like it. It is quite a remarkable fact that although frequent reference is made to pencak silat in various contexts, and it even constitutes a specific type of literature and category of film that relate the heroic stories of its masters, never before has a writer attempted to gather comprehensive information about this 'art of self defence'. Therefore, this book by O'ong Maryono could be said to be uncontested. And herein lies its second uniqueness: this encyclopedic book was written not by a graduate in the peace and quiet of his study, but by an expert in silat in the frenzy of the contest arena. Henri Chambert-Loir Director Ecole Fran9ais D'Extreme-Orient

Book Martial Arts in Indonesian Cinema and Television

Download or read book Martial Arts in Indonesian Cinema and Television written by Patrick Keilbart and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-06-29 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book studies the Indonesian martial art Pencak Silat and related media practices, and, building on that, assesses mediatization processes, meaning the potential influence of technology-based media practices. Pencak Silat represents a cultural system of values and beliefs, with hierarchical structures and relations, and social advancement being mediated in embodied social learning. The study contributes to martial arts studies and media studies, demonstrating potentials and limitations of media technologies and their (dis-)embodiment – their extension or reduction of the body as medium, and their embeddedness in or detachment from a given socio-cultural context. With Pencak Silat being practiced all over Indonesia, by a large part of the population, the thesis also represents a contribution to Indonesian studies. Based on extensive fieldwork (between 2008 and 2016), the study analyzes martial arts and/as media in Indonesia, and presents an ethnography of Pencak Silat and mediatization.

Book excerpt: Donn Draeger, in his world-renowned Asian Fighting Arts, wrote, "Perhaps there is no pencak-silat as curious as the harimau style performed in Sumatra." Named for the tiger that its movements so aptly portray, harimau has previously been taught to only a handful of adepts who have used this lithe, sinuous style with deadly effectiveness against armed and unarmed opponents alike. Now the secrets of harimau's low-line kicking, devastating takedowns and savagely effective groundfighting can be yours. In this video, Guru Richard Crabbe de Bordes, certified instructor under Indonesia's General Hanafi, teaches you the basic postures (kudas) and footwork patterns (langkhas) of harimau. He then shows you how to combine these elements into a fighting art designed to take your opponent to the ground and keep him there. Guru de Bordes also teaches rarely seen defense tactics against multiple attackers and demonstrates the practical effectiveness of harimau in a real-life kidnapping scenario. Don't miss this rare opportunity to learn the secrets of one of the most dramatic and unusual martial arts ever developed.
