Hi. Just stopping by for an update on my progress.

I’m still practicing Lanka Nol & the Serak Djurus (almost) every day. Also the Maiden Bathes, the elbow/knee set (including George’s Elbow Exercise), & the Sapu/Beset triangle lanka set.

I’ve got the 18 Serak Djurus down solid, & have been working with Guru Brandt on understanding the…[Read more]

Hi Mark. I’ve also just started learning this art in the last 5 months or so. I have not seen a written cirriculum (other than the 2 sub-style breakdowns under “LEARN KTS” above on this website).

But, I have found this glossary written by my Guru’s teacher, Chas Clements:

Welcome to the forum Duane. 🙂

I’ma also new to the Kuntao family, having gotten the 10 Video set a few months ago. Striving to practice every day (though it has been rough here in Oregon due to the forest fire smog). Still, I think this has been an eye opening experience for me as a martial artist.

Nice to meet you.

I’ve also gone through many of the supplemental videos and an now very comfortable with the sapuan/basset triangle form, and have found video references to various Kilap Sticky Hand flow drills (such as this basic one here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTTHG_CPG8s).

Things are looking solid and I’m going to be moving on to learning Djuru Satu…[Read more]

Hello Kuntao Silat Ohana! (Hawaiian ‘Ohana’ = Family) Just thought I pop in to post an update on my training.

I have been practicing all 18 Serak Djurus for a little over a week now. Guru Brandt is very happy with the progress I’ve been able to make in both Kuntao and Kilap styles in the last 3 months due to these training resources, so again a…[Read more]

Hm, this thread didn’t post my update. Will try again.

That makes a lot of sense now that I’m getting into the applications of the basic movements. Thanks guys!

I’m grateful that I had a number of years of kali-escrima training before finding Betawi/KTS, I’m finding many parallels and alternate expressions of things already in my muscle memory. We primarily trained stick & knife then, and something…[Read more]

As some-one coming to the KTS arts by way of the Betawi(&Serak) basics first, this was a very enlightening viewpoint. Thanks. Any links or resources for Guru Plink’s Serak style that lays out his ‘base, angle, leverage’ concepts mentioned?

Finally got time to follow up tonight & get caught up on the thread. Thank you for the stance notes on the Malabar Set. I realize that’s the one I’ve been doing the first part of each day.

I started on the “Warm Up” set from Pak Steve’s videos and the Serak Djurus first to compliment the Kilap Betawi Djurus 1 and 2, starting with the first few…[Read more]

Greetings to all (& very honored to meet you Pak Steve). My intro post can be found here: https://www.kuntaosilat.com/forums/topic/hello-from-portland-or/

I had stopped my martial arts practice due to health issues that have been recently resolving, so I’m excited to get back to it – especially with such an interesting and rare style. I have been…[Read more]
