Learn the Malay Art of Defense - Master Silat Moves

Today, learning martial art is the need of the hour. With increasing crime rate and exploitation, it is imperative for each and every individual to learn self-defense. There are various martial art forms, which can be practiced but Silat is gaining immense popularity these days among every age group. This Malay art of self defense, which initially

developed in Indonesia, is now spreading its wings throughout the world. Today, its practice is not just limited to its native countries Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand, but is now followed in countries world wide.

Over 200 different Silat moves are being practiced today. Silat moves broadly have two components or elements: the buah, which includes destructive moves and actions and the pulut, which involves attractive and striking moves meant for entertainment purposes only. The literal meaning of Buah is a fruit, and that of Pulut is a flower.

Pulut is sometimes also referred to as Bunga. The combined movements of Buah and Bunga in a combat can result into destruction and devastation. While practicing Silat moves, the most dangerous and destructive movements usually involve the use of Legs, Knee, Fist, Elbow and arms.

There are many Silat moves which involves the combination of vital point pokes, tear and claws. The approach used and the tactics being practiced depends on whether the emphasis is given to upper body maneuvers, also called as Juru-Juru or footwork, which has been named as Langkah.

When the person reaches the most advanced stage of Silat moves and training, he is equipped with skills for handling different types of weapons. The use of weapons in Silat training comes only after achieving mastery in the basic level Silat. The locks, kicks and blows, which are mastered while practicing Silat, are derived from different spiritual components aligned with it.
