Stances for the Basics

Hello,I wanted to get a clarification as to what the first five stances are that are learned for the DLP. I also wanted to ask where the Malabar Leg Set fits into our training. FWIW I have the stances as listed below:AKTS/Malabar Stances1. Turning Stance – Stationary2. Turning Stance – Foot Turning3. Turning with Arm Cover4. Diving for Pearls5. Indexing6. Tiger in Horse Stance7. Eagle Stance8. Eagle with Kicking9. Walking Dragon10. Walking Tiger11. Dragon Tail12. Silat Entering Punches13. Silat Walking Punches14. Monkey15.

;D Nicely done Dave!The Malabar Legset is the DLP stances; that's where it came from.

Art,Thanks for the clarification. I am trying to insure I am training properly. I may have missunderstood something which was said to me. What are the differences between Malabar and the DLP? I know that some of the DLP incorporates things from Malabar, but I am wondering at what point that stops. For example, are the Jurus Malabar or can they be part of the DLP as well? With the New Year I am trying to get back on track with training seriously and I want to make sure I am on the right track. Thanks,Dave

Hi Dave,Sorry, I just found this.The Distance Learning Program encompasses both Malabar and American KunTao Silat.

Art,I will go back over the tapes and I am sure I will have more questions ;DSince I am older, I will go for the easy way. Any chance of learning like Wesley Snipes did in Demolition Man.............while I sleep? I have been going through the Malabar Leg Set and the ones giving me trouble are the Dragon Tail and King Cobra and Monkey. I am also trying to figure out how to jumpe and do the turn, I may be too stiff for these yet, but I can aspire to doing them. Thanks again for the clarification.

Hello,Okay, so here is my question:It seems that there should be five (5) stances in the Basics for the DLP. However, when I count them out I get seven (7) not five. I am wondering if someone could give me the actual stances we should be practicing for the DLP. So far I have been trying to do the Malabar Leg Set but this is different that some of the AKTS stances I see particularily watching some of the Peer videos. Right now I am of the mind that for the Basics the following is what I should be focusing on. All comments are appreciated. DLP Basics/Stances1. Turning Stance – Stationary2. Turning Stance – Turning Feet3. Turning with Arm Cover4. Diving for Pearls5. Indexing6. Tiger Stance – Kick7. Eagle StanceTriangle Training• Triangle Exercise• Triangle Exercise with Punches

Hey Dave,IMHO, I believe you should use ALL of those stances, regardless of the track you are on.
