questions?

What the heck is silat?

The full name of our Indonesian martial art is "pukulan pentjak silat serak". That might sound like something you order with peanut sauce, but it's actually a comprehensive, complete martial art that's combat-proven across all fighting ranges. Here's the Wikipedia entry for our art if you'd like to read more.... And if you're OK watching a superviolent, R-rated, adults-only movie, there's also some good silat fight choreography in both The Raid: Redemption and The Raid 2.

What happens during a typical class?

First, We <FEAST> -- Dinner, Dancing, and Karaoke...

Before we Dance with Death, we Dance with Life -- and share some Joy together, over good food and good times. Because we believe that Confucius got it right in their famous quote "Never give a sword to a man who can't dance."

Then, We <FLOW> -- and <FIGHT>!

Just like a Jedi relies on the Living Force, we Follow the Flow -- and fuel our Fight with it, after we've exhausted all nonviolent options.

What should I wear to class?

Clean, comfortable clothes and shoes that allow you to move freely. No uniform required!
