I’d like to thank Pendekar Steve Gartin for showing me his sensitivity skills and for that extremely interesting chat up there in Thunder Rock!!! Sigung Joe Judt has been so kind with me: sharing a lot of…[Read more]

Actually i just got the chance to train by videos, using the Distance Learning Program but my previous Martial Arts training served me well. I just followed the instructions Pak Steve gives in the videos and paid attention to the way they used to move in the old days. Some movements were quite familiar to me but the legwork..the legwork was the…[Read more]

I’d like to thank Pak Steve for video-recording all the original footage and creating the Distance Learning Program ( a very useful tool for the serious student ); Sigung Aric Fowler for all his suggestions, tips and corrections: his good destructive criticism has been extremely helpful; all my Brothers GM Jonathan Pyndus, Rick Vargas and Larry…[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!!!

Great to hear that Jonathan!!! Congratulations to them and to you as a Teacher as well. Looking forward to watch the clip!!!

That’s great Rick!!! I can see from your last Kembangan that you are working hard on chinese stuff as well. Keep it up Brother!!!

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]

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.

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?!

Your Jow is awesome Jonathan..i got a kick on my knee and after using it the blue mark and pain disappeared in just one day..i highly recommend it to everyone!!!
