The concept of Martial Dance is ancient, and found in many cultures around the world. KunTao Silat has embraced the Indonesian version of this training method. Various dialects of Indonesia refer to this practice as Kembaggan, Kembangan and other versions of similar sounding words. Many Indonesian styles incorporate kembaggan training, some ignore it completely.
Constant Training is the key to progression in KunTao Silat. MartialDance is one way to get in many hours a day of basic practice.
Here are a few examples of MartialDance from the KunTao Silat Testing Group. A couple are from testing and a couple are from Peer Review offerings where the KTS Testing Group members submit videos of work-in-progress for evaluation and comment by other members. Most of the videos there are only seen by the group members, but this video of excerpts will be available to everyone.

Training Kembaggan to traditional Indonesian music is vital. Those are the beats of that culture and thus of Silat in its original form!
