No, it has never been a requirement before the introduction of American KunTao Silat. I wanted to fill the gap of the Shaolin forms with Serak but utilizing the regular KunTao Silat legwork, which I believe is far superior to Serak.

Joe tells me that is going backwards after experiencing the Chang Style and I can’t really argue the point.

But…[Read more]

I’d like to talk about Serak.

KTS Leadership is united on removing Serak as an AKTS requirement. To a man, they believe that it is superfluous and unnecessary because Djurus Satu and the warm-up drills cover most all of value in Serak. With the Chang Style and the External/Internal it is unnecessary ~ I have been told.

So, I’m interested in what…[Read more]

Another beautiful day in Eternity!

Bingo! That’s the ideal combination because a teacher can assign viewing assignments for their students that will augment and embellish their class experience and also provide some pre-training for the next class.

Howdy Joseph,
Well, this has been the “de Thouars” mime since people started signing up for the Distance Learning Course rather than studying with them as I originally intended the DLP to do. I believed that competent martial artists could grasp the gross mechanics from video and be much better prepared to learn from the Brothers; in light of…[Read more]

Yes Joseph, that is in the works right now.

Sigung Joe Judt is riding point on that project and he may have some pieces and parts available for the GCC/DLP People. We will see what he has to say about that.

You can use the standard J**@kuntaosilat.com email if you want to converse with him in person. Although I think this is a question others…[Read more]

Well, that is a great explanation.

I’ve been bridled by diminutive bandwidth most of my on-line life, so I feel your pain. But it is good that the DVDs are there, both as a permanent record and as a reference tool.

I’ve noticed that we are converting the old DVDs into menu-driven disks, so it will be much easier in the future to find clips…[Read more]

Well, here is the problem we have with Willem’s lineage. Since the man cannot force himself to tell the truth, even when it would be to his advantage, it is quite impossible to substantiate virtually anything I have not seen with my own eyes. And I have seen no evidence to support an Ark Wong connection.

Take as an example Willem’s Book. In it…[Read more]

I have a question for the Inner Circle Subscribers.

Why are you not taking advantage of the resources available to you on http://www.kuntaosilat.guru? If I would have had that sort of information available to me when I first started studying these arts, or any martial art, I would have taken advantage of it in a heart-beat.

Greetings GentlePeople,
I trust that all is well in your lives and that your training is proceeding with alacrity.

What’s on your mind?
Steve
