Drunken Monkey Posted June 2, 2003 Posted June 2, 2003 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. post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
Kirves Posted June 2, 2003 Posted June 2, 2003 In Leung Ting's Wing Tsun, they also mix a certain style of Escrima with it, because their methods go so well together.
mArTiAl_GiRl Posted June 2, 2003 Posted June 2, 2003 Kirves? That means axe in estonian language! Kill is love
mArTiAl_GiRl Posted June 2, 2003 Posted June 2, 2003 oh yes...right, you're from Finland! Tere! Kill is love
Kirves Posted June 2, 2003 Posted June 2, 2003 Tere, tere! Yeah, nice to see someone from the same neighbourhood around here!
JerryLove Posted June 2, 2003 Posted June 2, 2003 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). https://www.clearsilat.com
Drunken Monkey Posted June 2, 2003 Author Posted June 2, 2003 read my post. never said i was going to incorporate anything into my training. just wanted to know more about the styles. post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
JerryLove Posted June 3, 2003 Posted June 3, 2003 No, but Kirves did, and the discussion of incorporation also serves to discuss similarities and contrasts (something you did ask for). https://www.clearsilat.com
Kirves Posted June 3, 2003 Posted June 3, 2003 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.
