Guru Muda Estevan Mulloni introduces Malabar KunTao Silat in Italy.
Malabar KTS is a traditional Dutch/Indo/Chinese martial discipline codified up to Sigung Level by Pak Steve Gartin from decades of personal training with the de Thouars Brothers.
To a considerate, disciplined and well-trained warrior, it might be considered imprudent to be rolling around on the ground with an opponent when many more may be round about.
KunTao Silat prefers to execute finishing techniques to a grounded opponent whislt standing.
Lankas Monjet is a traditional Indo/Chinese form from the Kendang Silat Triad finding its genesis with BaPak Willem de Thouars in the late 1970’s. These three Kendang forms became the foundation for the original Kun Lun Pai Silat basics in 1981.
The chaos of combat requires a serious practitioner to diligently train to attain as much agility as their physical form allows, and of course to push those limits constantly. Lankas Monjet begins training that concept, but the next two levels also add their flair to combat chaos.
Here, Estevan Mulloni submits test videos for destructive criticism and wins hands down. . . he did his homework back in Level One! Now, as of today, Estevan has been certified by me as a Level Five Malabar KunTao Silat Teacher. Those People in Italy who want to learn KunTao Silat now have the opportunity!
You can follow Estevan on his KTS Guru Page at: https://kuntaosilat.guru/ic/2018/09/11/get-to-know-gurumuda-estevan-mulloni/ and on FaceBook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100009571307324
A lot of discussion needs be addressed concerning this form, for myriad reasons ~ but because it was never seriously codified in the early days. . . it is now time. Chime in and let’s hear your opinions.

Auguri Estaban!
Congrats and good work.
En buca di lupo (did I get the expression right?)

Might be Estevan in Italian, whereas Spanish is Esteban.
Jest an opinion from plain ol’ Steve :0(<
Scusi, mio italiano non e troppo buono.
Io ha dimenticato como parlare e escrivire questa bella lingua.
Thank you Estevan ~ that was an erudite explanation of your choices and even the addition of the Triple Hitter to the Djurus makes perfect sense. The idea of building both versions of the low turning elbows provides a basis for evaluation of the techniques each variation offers.
It is truly a shame that KunTao Silat People do not participate in the Testing Group Forum. I will protect this video probably at the end of the day so that no one will be able to see this video who is not a participant in the Testing Group. This video will show up here for a continuing discussion, but it will not play unless you are also logged in on Vimeo.
Cudos to you and the others who DO participate and contribute to their fellow practitioner’s learning experience.
