Someone screwed up the programming on my cable system or something. I DVR'd two *NEW* Last One Standings this week. The program labelled as 'Java' had the canoe racing, then the one labelled canoe racing the had frickin' "How Is It Made" show. I totally missed the Silat program and don't see it in rerun anywhere in the next two weeks, or whatever my cable system allows me to see.

Ah, I see "(NOTE: NEW TIME!)" on the link you posted. Apparently Charter didn't get the update to change their program guide. I was much more interested in Silat than a boring canoe race.

Jeez, that figures. We were talking about how much better the Silat Human Weapon would have been if in Java, then some other show does it & I miss it. Thanks for the link, I'll watch it sometime today!

Thanks! Just watched it, it was so much better than the Human Weapon. I'm glad they got into a little of the culture, & showed traditional conditioning.

Do you know anything about Fight Quest that Discovery is putting out next year? The preview look pretty good.

Yes they did a really good job with this one in Last One Standing. Made me want to be right there and get some training in even if this style of silat is not my favorite nor is their competitive version. Still it was done beautifully and the participants all did it with great respect.

The Fight Quest show coming up looks very good. So only time will tell if it is good enough but if the hosts do one thing and that is are respectful and more committed then it has to be better than the Human Weapon!

I agree , I found this program more appealling than the Human Weapon silat episode. I didn't have a big issue with the Human Weapon feature , but this Last One Standing program just had a better flavor.

The Fight Quest feature is , hopefully , going to be good. The company responsible for the production and filming contacted me early this year in search of pencak silat instructors in Java. I made introductions and set them up with the Suwanda Family. They did the filming in July-August time frame. Reports from the company were very positive , so I have high hopes that it will be as satisfying as such a program can be, considering the objectives of the company and the time constraints .

With respect

Hello,
In checking the Discovery Channel schedule it appears that the episode featuring Pencak Silat will air on 25 Jan 08. The teachers will be two of my Pencak Silat Mande Muda teachers, Ibu Rita Suwanda and Pak Dadang Gunawan.
I believe the first episode shown here in the USA will be on 4 Jan 08 and will focus on Kali. I believe Tuhon Leo Gaje is the instructor featured.
Hope that is helpful.

With Respect

Doc

Hello,

The Last One Standing wasn't bad but I think the Fight Quest Silat episode is going to rule!

I have seen the first 2 Fight Quest episodes (Kung Fu & Kali) and they were much better than both Human Weapon and Last One Standing on those subjects.

Can't waite for 25 Jan!

Sincerely,
Teacher: Eddie Ivester
