( sorry my names "J" Jason O Ceallaigh ) I would and have done for year's,like to have a semiar for all the south,east,asian art's and invite every one.The money could go to a good cause.My teacher and a group of us look after a few orphanages in Thailand and Indonesia ( www.ourorphans.com ) this is where I'ed like the money to go too,please have a read for your selves.

Back to This art of Silat alway's been laughed at,I really cant stand it any more.So if the rest of the Silat people in Ireland,the Thai art's like my friend Franlie Mc Conville and all the Phillie skool's please get there thumb's out and put on an open semiar.As what we all do is a living tradition and I want to show pure Silat.So please step up and let's get this show on the road my number's 07789465700 call me any time,I'm ready to get this go'en.(In peace of course) I live in london as I spend all my time learning form my Teacher's but go home monthly to see family and friend's...........All the best J

I've been to a couple of Liam's seminars and the material covered is excellent and very practical. I have seen some of the senior people practice this sort of movement after seminars among themselves and, as far as I know, it relates to the "animal mannerisms" taught later in the system.

Can't say that this sort of thing appeals to me but it appears to be an inherent part of Cimande and I guess it works for those who practice it.

That's hilarious. It's like some sort of insane jungle music video.

I want to show pure Silat.

Hi Jason

Can you please explain to me what Pure Silat is???? Are you still not training with Stephen Benitez?? The reason I'm asking that is, because there are a number of his ex students are training with us now in London, and they all recognize this form of movement, So how can't you? maybe they were higher up the system than yourself I'm not sure?
Jason we were also were asked to do a demo for the Indonesian Community in Ireland in front of the Indonesian Ambassador and his committee in 2005, and were told by the Ambassador and by the attendee that its was one of the most beautiful displays of Silat. Some of the Indonesian themselves told of us remembering the moves been taught to them as children by their fathers and uncles. I have this on file so you more than welcome to pop along some night and we can watch it and see the responses from the audience. Maybe these people didnt know what pure Silat is either??? Might explain why we been asked on many occassion since to represent Indonesian Culture at events.
Anyway to help you I believe there is a Cimande class on thursday night in Eastwest studio.


On a second note in May 2005 your teacher phone myself and my teacher in Dublin wanting to hook up, to work together to develop Silat in Uk and Ireland together, so it must have been pure enough then. Just to help you anyway the movement you see is a form of playing that we do, to help development of the skills we learning, its a tool. It's more flowing then maybe the Silat you do, but this is taken from the Mas Djut aspects and concepts. By calling it not pure you are insulting the elders of the villages where the art came from. Is that your attention?

Jason how did the Silat event you and stephen were organising in Ireland at the hare krishna island weekend retreat go? I saw it advertised but didnt hear any reports about it. Did it happen?

Hi Seraph

This is a short video clip, of just one type of movement (playing)that is develop in our style of Cimande Silat. There are many different styles of Silat, and so students who have an interest in Silat or come from other styles of Silat can see what way the movements of this style move like.

Silat is an art form that is very different, the students who do it, love doing it. Its not everyone cup of tea. At times it can look like Martial Arts, other times Yoga and than others times Dance. It all depends on what aspects the teacher want to teach. Its fun, enjoyable and everyone has a good time.

I was there - Clontarf Castle wasn't it? It did look good but more like an art form - although that's probably what you intended for the night that was in it

Isn't there another indonesian martial art based on animal movements or is that Silat too?

Dragan

Am I the only person who finds it somewhat ironic that the person who made a post laughing at an art has the sig he does?

Hi Dave

Yes you are correct, what you saw was more the art form for the demo, more to do what the traditional side. Silat is the general brand name given to the Indonesian / Malay fighting arts. But they vary alot. Its more a way of life (life style) than a sport you do once a week.

The animal movements are the bases for most of the Silat styles. In our style of Cimande there are 4. Crane / Monkey / Snake / Tiger some styles of silat have only one some have maybe 8 or more. In Cimande the animal is really linked to range of Combat for eg to us the Snake is the close range knife fighting aspects and the Tiger would be Groundfighting / grappling. In cimande the mannerism of the animal is more important than the actual techniques, we try to understand how the animal uses its body in Combat and take thoes attributes and blend then with the human form. It's very different from the mainstream martial arts, but I have found great enjoyment doing it. It's ideals and concepts are very unique and have alot to offer students, and the great thing no matter what age, level of health its great fun. Its very hard to look in on silat and try to work out what really going on. But there loads of classes now on along with workshops and people can always can join in and have a go.

Anyone who interested can private mail me with any questions.

Hi Jason

No prob, it's cool, I just wasnt sure what you meant by "Pure Silat" in your opening views. I'm more than happy to help out in any event that helps promote south east asians arts. All the best.
