looking for a school in the Netherlands

[vikayo]

A friend of mine decided to start with martial arts again.

Has anybody of you links or addresses of proper schools in the Netherlands, preferrably near Rotterdam?

[Stranger]

If Indonesian martial arts are to your taste.....

Maurice DeThouars teaches silat in the Netherlands. His family has a strong reputation.


John van der Jagt teaches Mande Muda silat in Rotterdam. This is his website.

Excellent, thanks a lot, also and especially in my friend's name!
I think he might like that style, as well.

Have you trained there yourself?

[Stranger]

No, but an ex-training partner had a background in this silat lineage along with another. I don't know when he was using techniques from one lineage and when from the other, but he was good and very unpredictable. The Mande Muda lineage has a good reputation in the US, for whatever that is worth :D .

I can direct you towards some video clips if you wish.

Look up Harry DeVries as well...he's from the same line as the DeThouras...

I hear Theo Schrijin's school is good, but I've never experienced it.


you can find a lot of schools in the Netherlands at:

This is a video of some Mande Muda clips.

Look hard at MonkeySlap Too's suggestions also, as the man knows what's what.
