At almost 55, I have been searching for the right martial art for me to study for some time and was tossed between JKD and Krav Maga. I had taken JKD about ten years ago and after a seminar with Larry Hartsell left me with a fairly bad back injury I never returned to it. I am getting older and feeling like I lost a lot of time and wanted to find the right style for me and I think after lots of soul searching, watching and comparing many various M/A training videos, assessing my skills and limitations etc. and asking a lot of dumb questions, this may be the style I would like to pursue. As I often see it combined with arts like JKD and Silat, I wasn’t sure if it was a stand alone art or just some new techniques to add to existing styles but after watching several videos I think it will do nicely for what I am looking for which is basic street self defense should it ever be necessary as well as an enjoyable and education training system.

Hi Greg and welcome! Good to have you here. It’ll be interesting to have a JKD/Krav Maga perspective to throw into the mix.
From my little experience, I find this art to be more geared towards actual self defense instead of flashy stuff.
I hope you got my email about your order as well, let me know however I may be of assistance!
Hi Greg,
KunTao Silat is a stand-alone art, larger and more comprehensive that most folks ever see – but it’s principles make all other arts work more effectively and can be applied as a collegiate-level where other arts leave off. That’s why so many “eclectic” martial arts include KunTao Silat in their mix.
