I believe the form had only two Iron Broomstick sweeps in its original version. Chuck and Dave’s version was for demonstration, so it was embellished a bit for the audience IMHO. Marcelo must have keyed in on that version for his own practice.

TigaQuestion:

The public offering for Level Four American is: https://kuntaosilat.com/learn-kuntaosilat/american-kuntao-silat/level-four-akts/

The private course material is at: https://kuntaosilat.com/lesson/american-kuntao-silat-level-four/

Thank you all. All available spaces have been filled for this event.
The next workshoppe for PracticeLeaders will probably be near the Summer Equinox and the American KunTao Silat Family Gathering is expected to be held sometime in August.

The plan is to spend a couple of days training and considering the primary principles of KunTao Silat’s combat applications.

It will be critical for those who choose to attend to have a solid foundation in the KTS basics.

PracticeLeaders are encouraged to attend, but also those who want to certify as Teachers because applications are required…[Read more]
