Get a thick section of PVC pipe, maybe two inches thick. Grip it as tight as you can with both hands and start flexing your wrists in opposite directions, while gripping so hard that you can hear little “clicks”. Do this for timed rounds on the clock. I learned this in Shuai Jiao training.
It’s popular to drill a hole in a PVC pipe and put a cord…[Read more] -

That hand posture is a Qígong exercise (known as “Holding the Ball”, “Embracing the Tree”), that teaches a convenient structure for combat applications as well. If you keep your hands at 10:10 (imagine you are facing a clock-face ) and try to maintain a 108° degrees angle at the elbow joint whilst keeping your shoulders relaxed..there you are!!!

It’s really cool that you noticed this. YES, arm swinging is a beginning component of training refined strikes similar to the ‘street’ sucker punch. Arm swinging is a common exercise in Chinese martial arts, but we take it to some peculiar places. You can see that people instinctively understand the lines it teaches – and those lines can have…[Read more]

Estevan Mulloni replied to the topic Testing requirements L7MKTST in the forum Questions 7 years ago
I see!!! Ok then: i’ll upload a testing video including Taung Lung Tai form + applications of it, but for sure i’ll study and train Ling Sing Toi and all the Internal/External KunTao forms included in the “New” Program to improve my understanding of Malabar KunTao-Silat. The learning path is a never-ending one!!! Thank you so much for your help…[Read more]

Steve replied to the topic Testing requirements L7MKTST in the forum Questions 7 years ago
Yes! There is a choice of Ling Sing Toy or Taung Lung to advance to Level Seven, which is the material I mentioned above. In your case, however, since you joined before this level of “External/Internal” “Taoist/Shaolin” was added ~ it is optional for you. When you complete this next level you will be Guru Muda. That was the deal we made when you…[Read more]

The “problem” with numeration is because i started my KTS journey with the “old” system so my L6MKTST Test was about Pai Yun Form. Now i have to step into Taung Lung Tai.

Estevan Mulloni replied to the topic Testing requirements L7MKTST in the forum Questions 7 years ago
Thank you so much Pak Steve!!! What i meant with L7MKTST was my next test: the Taung Lung Tai test. So only the Gasshophoper form+applications is required for that test?!

Steve replied to the topic Testing requirements L7MKTST in the forum Questions 7 years ago
The “new” Level Seven in Malabar is the External Shaolin consisting of the I Shing Po, the Tai Keah and the Po Qua Zen forms which were originally reserved for gurus. I think this addition completes the Malabar System as Willem de Thouars gave to me as my own system. It has always been my goal to teach Willem’s art as he wanted it taught ~ so here…[Read more]

You are welcome Brother, but i’m not a Guru at all..just a student!!! 🙏🙏🙏

oh ok, i’m planning to join kuntao silat in the future, it’s a great art!.

I’m sure about that, i’m a little out of money at this moment, but i’ll join soon.

Almost ALL the material is out there for free: on Vimeo, YouTube. According to me, the most of the time, has to be spent training the Basics: stances, postures, basic movements, basic entrances and techniques..the more you train the Basics, the easier Forms and advanced techniques will be..🙏🙏🙏

Yes i’ve been training some videos but i’m trying to organize the material to train properly.
-
I’m located in Argentina, is there any training group in South America?
-
According to what i know, there are no active practice groups in south America, but perhaps Pak Steve, Sigung Aric or Sigung Joe know better. My suggestion is to pick up Langkah Nol and practice that form in various way ( holding the stances for 5 minutes each: Sleeping Horse Stance, Tiger Stance, Low Tiger Stance, Dragon’s Stance, King Dragon’s…[Read more]
