I suspect he could teach you a thing or two about martial arts, maybe even three things. :D Seriously though, he is something of a legend in many martial arts circles, it would be well, well, worth your while to go down and visit in person.

When it comes to authentic Indonesian Silat and Kuntao knife skills, you probably won't find better in that region of the country. Really. Take advantage!!! Uncle Bill's got the stuff!

When it comes to knife skills, authentic Indonesian Silat is, by definition, effective.

I went to visit Keith Moffett at the Kun Lun Pai Martial Arts in Westminster (its close) for a poor college student. I emailed Chas if you see on the website he's one of the top guys.
Chas
"The master-teacher there is Keith Moffat- a very respected fighter
and teacher. He is close with Willem de Thouars, and holds workshops
for him a lot. It is the best public practice group in the city."

Im going again to check out a class, he didnt pressure me and was very approachable.

Thank you all for your input hopefully ill be able to start soon

I went to keith moffet class, he knows his stuff and signed up for 4 introductory classes. He was really nice, cool. Talked about Human Weapon and how he knows one guy from the silat episode. Im short, he made me feel like this style will work for me.

REALLY COOL i cant say it any better
