kali and silat


Recommended Posts

i've recently come across a jkd seminar (if you must know, the one on the game of death dvd) and noticed that much of the theories of kali/silat are very smilar to wing chun.

 

can anyone who practices either of these tell me more?

 

anything will do, history, training methods, concepts.

 

absolutely anything.

I certainly see enough in common in WC and most Kali styles, and I see similarity in Kali and Silat. But (depending on the style of silat), I see some large differences between Silat and WC that would seem to make silat difficult to incorporate in a WC program (though the reverse is not too bad).

 

In particular, Silat's de-emphasis on the centerline, and emphasis on mobility (I can't imagine a WC person trying to incorporate Seti-hati, or Harimau).

 

You can mix almost anything, and we do teach quite a bit of WC at my Silat school (Owner was 10 years into CMA before ecen discovering Silat).

Exactly. When I said that they mix the two arts "because they go well together", I meant that the two arts share several common principles. For example, the trapping range is handled with strikingly similar concepts and techniques.
