Dr. Jonathan Pyndus

You have made a lot of progress in that year! When you consider Malabar at Sixty, you must be insane. . . but you’ve stuck with it and prevailed. Switch to AKTS since you are in EldaCaka Land and you’ll gather more training partners. :-)>

No longer a dormant thread! Guru Muda Jonathan Pyndus {jon@kuntaosilat.com} has stock on-hand now!
Here’s the new thread: https://kuntaosilat.com/forums/topic/dit-da-jow/

Great stuff Jonathan! Thanks. Can I get two more bottles?

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 “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]

This is a great video to introduce KunTao Silat Estevan. It seems that you have developed a speech impediment ~ I could only understand a few of the words you spoke. However, your command of KunTao Silat basics is visually obvious. You are a great representative and I’m really proud to see your rapid growth in strength, power & finesse that will…[Read more]

I have discovered that it is cost prohibitive to ship single items internationally. That is why I always include extra free products. In this case Estevan may want to up the quantity to mitigate the per item shipping costs. . . I sure would. As a matter of fact, I wanted two bottles for my first order . . . for the same reason. The Postal Circus…[Read more]

Sounds good. I’ll send you thirty bucks for two via PayPal. What email address should I use?

I’ll send money via PayPal, so the address will be included. Name your price.

Every KTS practitioner within driving distance should make it a critical point to attend this event. Anyone who wants to attend and needs a ride or has a ride and needs some friends, please let me know and I’ll try to get folks connected.

The video training program is designed to prepare practitioners for the application phase, found in seminars…[Read more]

OK. . . here goes:

Level One ~ the most difficult by some accounts
WarmUp
TriAngle Hand & Leg Sets
Lankas Nol {for Malabar}
Applications for teacher certification

Level Two through Six:
Level Specific form for practitioner / applications for teacher

What have I missed? Oh yeah. . . the KunTao Silat Testing Group ~ where all the latest info on…[Read more]

Count me in Jon!

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.

Out of the descending elbow’s full turn the broomstick comes in the same direction that you were moving…[Read more]

The very fact that the Inner Circle KTS Greeting precedes this form indicates that it is a kuntao/silat hybrid. . . as is Satu. It also introduces the kuntao Iron BroomStick sweeps, which you will see later in Ling Sing Toy. It was understood amongst our Pai in the early days that the handwork was Satu & Dua with some double punches and you will…[Read more]

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/

Let’s work on this issue and get some clarification.

Thank you GentleMen for your contributions to the KunTao Silat Testing Group! You two have spoken so much truth here that I had to take advantage of modern technology to offer up my personal ‘amen.’
