A Message From Ibu Rose

Today I am honored to share this letter to the KTS community on behalf of Ibu Rose:

“In regards to Kun Tao Silat, and what it has meant and will mean to me:

Frankly without KTS I most likely would not be breathing today,

as the spiritual and health side of this art has enabled me to deal with some incredible stress factors in my life.

Over the last fifteen years I have developed some major medical issues,from brain aneurysm, broken leg,
smashed ankle, kidney stones ,family member death,family suicide , spinal stenosis ,hypertension and more.

Emotional issues of my partner being arrested and confined for now 8 months my love, my care giver, my future.

Being forced from my home, having to move to an unfinished uninhabited place for many years requiring many repairs and replacement of many things involving plumbing, electrical, paint lots of nails and tools and little guidance, with an inability to perform the tasks.

KunTao Silat, and some of the dedicated practitioners assistance, is helping me a great deal.

KTS has taught me that YHVH has purpose for all things and all people. I have learned to focus (meditate) if you will on the Father and to learn to ask for help.

I live with an Alzheimer’s patient for a small pittance each month which would cost the family three times as much for a nursing home. I do this with great effort for two reasons:

One is I care about the patient

Two I can not live even modestly on the meager income I have, when my partner was taken from me, over a 15 year case of forgiveness and a failure to appear regarding a restraining order, which was a phone call to his children.

He and I have and do suffer much.

The encouragement, vitamins, and physical help the KTS family has and does provide me with Therapy; spiritually, emotionally, and physically beneficial in many ways. The music also has an openness to another road of peace and consecration.

I was watching a news broadcast of a young man living in Rio Rancho, NM.

Some thug attempted to steal his truck right from his driveway. The featured young man saw this in progress
ran outside and was able to stop this thief ,securing him without harm using KTS training, till the authorities arrived
and arrested him.

Another example of KTS training was when I worked as a court advocate for children thru CASA program in Roswell NM.  I was able to prevent a second rape of the 16 year old girl by catching the mans arm when he reached for me in my car window and secure him till the proper authorities arrived.

KTS has taught me to think before acting ,to meditate on the good side of life,to listen to the small still voice, most of all to trust the Father in heaven and to know my own strength, courage and ability, to ask for help when needed, to literally breath, to be observant of people, surroundings, and situations, to be a better
contributing woman to society.

These are just a few of the many sides of the art of KUN TAO SILAT for me.  There is a book in progress by the founder My Partner, Steve Douglas Gartin, and The lineage keeper of the art , Dr. Jonathan
Pyndus D.Ac., L.Ac., LMT, Dipl. NCCAOM.  This man teaches a complete healthy life style of both
mind and body: the very base of KTS.

When all the tasks and events in ones life heal they leave scars, KunTao Silat smooths them out with a new life style.
