My condolences. This is tragic.
I've just started teaching out of Five Star Fitness in Joliet, Il.
Kuntao Silat, and soon to add San Da and Shuai Chiao programs.
I'm also offering kids classes.

In most small trade or specialty interest magazines you will get better placement or cover mention or even a cover if you are a regular advertiser. As these are not 'hard news' mags, I really don't...
What's with all the hating of Ray Pina? I go away for a while and this place seems more like a schoolyard than the um... schoolyard it used to look like.
Ray clearly has found his way and is...
Yeah, come on David, let's get'em! ;)
ROFL. I have to admit, the entertainment value is pretty good here on KFM.
David, in the world of science, what you are engaging in here is called 'magical thinking'. Or at best anecdotal. Whereas I can supply a near endless stream of examples supporting everything I have...
Well, it hurts when the pronouncements of someone with a misplaced ego is asked to prove himself. But you can overcome this by simply supporting your argument!
I'm so very proud of you that a few...
Oh, on my comment about Johor - what I am saying here in 'kung fu online' speak. is you clearly don't know what you are talking about, and your 'opinion' is meaningless unless you can support it with...
Now, THAT is a more specific statement versus a blanket condemnation of a country. So good for you Kung Lek. However, your frustration and anger is probably driven by the fact you are being asked to...
Ah, Kung Lek, again you are making statements, but not supporting them.
Yes, I can post a good chunk of stuff from Youtube, showing Silat that is not overly ritualized, or ineffective. Although, I...
Kung Lek, I've read your writings for a long time now. When you do not debate like a kid, you'll stop being a kid ;).
Now you are parsing words - your claim was a blanket statement about the...
Seriously dude, don't be so rigid, my incredulity is based on the fact that I'm pretty sure you have NO idea what you are talking about, probably taking one (admittedly awful and very popular) stream...
There you go. That's a step closer. If you are thinking of the same Malay Silat I am thinking of, then I totally understand your opinion, as I share it. But there are other forms of Malay Silat that...
Ah, Kung Lek, you didn't answer my question - on WHAT are you basing your opinion?
Okay Kung Lek, you've got me laughing. On what basis do you hold your opinion? I can name a half dozen quality TCMA schools in Malaysia - I few I have touched hands with representatives personally -...

This documentary can be seen on Hulu - it captures the view of the TCMA scene in Malaysia/Singapore.
This is a common belief throughout the region. Obviously not true, but a well held belief. I have my own theories on why this is so, but I'd rather not get into it here.
Also at Pork Chop - the stuff you saw was Indonesian/West Javanese, not Malaysian.
@ Pork Chop - Sure Malaysia, AND Indonesia, AND THailand, AND Brunei... lots of good stuff throughout there. Lots of goofy stuff too, but that is common anywhere.
@ Gian - you are missing the...
To Gian's statement, the interaction between cultures in the 'Nusantara' region has gone on so long that there are many ways interaction occurred. There are even some 'Silat' styles, like Mustika...
The systems in that article were probably 'Lian' systems. Lian systems come from a Chinese fellow from Yunnan - clearly a prototypical Southern method. Many were influenced by Wing Chun after the...

This guys teacher is a friend of mine. I recommend them. Have their roots in Sammy Wong's Chu Ka.
Yes.
