These will be in Harimau Pentjak Silat. Down the road I think I'll take some privates in Kali but Silat is more difficult to learn. I'm still struggling with the basics so I hope after thils block I'll have more of it down.

That sounds like lot's of fun. I am sure your leg's definately feel the burn coming on.

Ohhhhh yes. My Silat training is really hurting because the class that is all Silat is Thursday nights, when I work. So, most of what I get is during the mixed class and even then I'm usually wrapped up in my Kali.
I have NO IDEA how I'm going to get through a Silat private. I'm envisioning lots and lots of Tiger Balm.

IĀm sure you will.
However it pains me to admit I know little about Kali or Silat. I will have to look into those more sometime to see what they are about.
IsnĀt Kali one of the styles Dan Inosanto teaches?
It is, they are kind of generic terms. Kali, Arnis, and Escrima are all terms used to denote Filipino stickfighting. The name of the system implies the lineage and founder e.g. Modern Arnis is the Arnis learned by those in the late GM Remy Presas' lineage. Dekiti Tirsia Siradas Kali is the Kali of GM Nene Tortal's lineage, which is what I train in. Lots of sticks, knives, broken Surfires...
Silat is harder to describe. As a CMA guy, I think you'd appreciate its fluidity and softness. It is also also a bladed art but, unlike Kali, the students learn the empty hand techs first before using weapons.

Cool, sounds quite interesting, I will definitely have to look into it more. Thanks for the info. :asian:
And you STILL can't EVER borrow my maglite or Surefire.
Well it is time to go and do Tai Chi and other martial art related stuff
Good luck in class tomorrow
Have a good one
Of course not. Why on earth would I want to break a friend's light? :roflmao:

Hey Carol, nice to type at you again, how are ya'? Other than being at work...
Nice to type at you too!
Actually I'm doing just fine. Work is kind of quiet and there are two other people here besides me so I have a bit of company, which is always good.
My weekend starts at midnight though...woo hoo!

Excellent!
My weekend started LAST Friday...That's the upside and downside of going through a slow period at your job, but I can collect unemployment, so I got to stay home all week, practice, and play with the kids...And got payed for it! Can't ask for much of a better situation, in my mind...
