Greetings everyone!
I'd really appreciate information on quality Silat schools in Manhatten or Brooklyn.
I'm not looking for any particular style. I can't even if I wanted to,
as I am a complete beginner in Indonesian martial arts. And, frankly speaking, not much of an expert in MA in general.
Here are the things that are important for me:
1. Competent teacher.
That's the most important part of it. I want somebody who really understands the art he's teaching and is able to communicate it to the students.
2. Sound training methodology.
There must be a well established and proven way of taking a person from point A, a beginner, to point B, competent practitioner.
3. A good mix of beginner and advanced students.
4. Should have classes weekday evening or on the weekends.
5. It should be a practical self-defence and have health benefits (or at least not bad for health)
Well, are there Silat schools like that in NY or should I be looking for another style?
thanks,
-- Alex.
