Gibran said, “the mountain, to the climber, is clearer from the plain.” As I ruminate upon the event, my heart is overwhelmed with the love I witnessed among those who made the arduous journey to the New Mexico wilderness to partake in the Gathering.

Oft I say that the best defense is a big smile ~ and Bill Chang often told me that it impressed…[Read more]

Yes, I sent it to jon@kuntaosilat.com

Hi Jon, just sent Electrons for four bottles. Thank you!

I heard Sigung Joe was passing through sometime soon. Any details yet?

Joe and Jeff teach at the First Annual American KunTao Silat Gathering from KunTao Silat on Vimeo.

Absolutely Don! That’s how I started when I was driving for a living in the 1970s. Got it from the Charles Atlas Dynamic Tension program from back in the dark ages. The concept evolved for me as I continued to drive and ride bikes for long distances and perceived a need for constant exercise and breathing.

But here’s one of the most useful…[Read more]

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!
