Thank you very much for you Videos! Hope to see more in the future !😊 Theres other arts in Malaysia/Indonesia/Philippines you might want to check out. Its kung fu & silat hybrid arts practiced in some Chinese communities. Sometime refered as "kuntao/kun tao, cun ton/cunton , kun taw...etc.🐱 They are rarely known in the 'West'. Theres also other mix martial arts such as Hung Fut (combination of Fut Ga & Hung Gar, Sun Style TaiChi of course, Do Pi (knight style/ if I recall correctly with crane or with CLF?), Black Tiger-Mantis Fist style..etc.
It is hard to talk about Silat Melayu without mentioning Silat Seni Gayong and Dato Meor Abdul Rahman. A true Malay Silat Warrior. There are many style of Malay Silat and it’s difficult to cover all. Thank you for taking the time to cover Malay Silat!
Even though the master displayed only a bit of his art, but his explanation of the cultural aspect of Silat is in depth, and rich in history. Well done for being able to showcase it here. 👍
Marvellous, many thanks :) I trained in Pencak-Silat under Jan De Jong, in Perth, Western Australia, for about ten years - starting in 1980 (I had been training in other stuff since about 1965) . My focus since then has been more Chinese based, however my Silat is still with me and will always be :)
@@MonkeyStealsPeach Yes, I followed your journey :) My family is Scottish. I was born in Grimsby (don't ask) raised in Australia and now back in Scotland :)
@@PartaiSolidaritaslndonesia Nope, at first kuntao only practice by Chinese, it was only mixed kung fu style, because no specific style, they just called all mixed kung fu as kuntao, later Kuntao influence silat & some not all kuntao get influenced by silat as exchange
@@PartaiSolidaritaslndonesia Kuntao meaning is way of fist, that is Chinese word, maybe Hakka I think. It loosely used to describe any style from China. Later someone merge certain Kuntao with silat, this Kuntao called Kuntao silat, which I suspect you practices this. But not all Kuntao merge with silat.
I have done Bajiquan (Chinese Martial arts) for decades. If anyone want to learn beside Chinese Martial Arts then i would recommend Silat (Indonesia/Malaysia/Singapore), i like Silat because it has a lot similarity from my stuff. Both Chinese Martial Arts & Silat are good. If anyone doesn't have any experience in any Martial Arts i would recommend Silat. My advise you don't have to mix Silat to other art. Because It is complete system same as mind. All you need is to learn with passion & patient without compare other styles, thats what traditional Martial Arts about.
Guru Zainal merely describes about the Silat school that he's trained in. There are many other Silat schools in Malaysia that didn't begin from either the Orang Asli or any form of tribal dance. The Malay people are not one and the same with the Orang Asli. The Malay people have been inhabiting the entire Malay Archipelago for aeons. The archipelago is huge in terms of its size. Back when there were no Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, Singapore etc, the Malay Archipelago was already in existence. Going back to the system of Silat as a recognized body of knowledge, in order to fully grasp the full essence of its training, one has to embrace Islam and its teachings. Failure or a blatant refusal to do so would ensure that the practitioner in question would not go far and deep in his or her quest to learn and practice the Art of Silat. One such system or school of Silat is the Silat Seni Gayong founded by the late Dato' Meor Abdul Rahman. Dato' Meor and his forefathers were definitely not Orang Asli. In the system of Gayong, not only a great emphasis is placed on the physical aspects of training, "spiritual development" based on Islam too plays an extremely vital role to ensure a comprehensive and well-rounded Silat fighter could be produced.
@Daniel. You might be aware that Silat Maul Mornie of Brunei has mentioned that it was originally classified as Kuntau which in the Chinese Hokkien dialect means martial art. And there are many styles in Malaysia & Indonesia where the salutation is reminiscent of every Kung Fu system.
Nice video, if you want to get a more complete view of Silat it is also a must to visit Sumatra and West-Java, the origin of some of the most famous Silat styles. Styles like Cimande, Cikalong, Sera, Kari, Madi and Silek Tuo Minang. Malaysian Silat is in some ways quite different than Indonesian Silat.s
@@MonkeyStealsPeach cool. Hope you find some good links. Like good KungFu, finding good Silat is also not so easy to find. Offcourse depends on what you want. For some, good means strong cultural roots, for others good means truly effective.
Guru Zainal Awab Boonsong is an international treasure and ambassador for Silat Tua to the world, a true warrior with the highest morals, ethics and skills.
Thanks for the share ….. I appreciate your work and I’m curious to learn more about Salat . Unfortunately there is not any practitioners of that style or Bak Mei etc to learn from . Waiting for the next show ….. take care and keep the faith …..
You could see ancient form of"Silat"in Martial Art Styles from such Varmakali and Kalariyaptu. Then you could see also in Angampora from Srilangka/Ceylon. Spreading of"Silat",related Mission Of Buddhist Religion. 🙏
Not only there's a lot of same techniques, pencak silat sounds suspiciously similar to "panca sila". This echoes other buddhist themed titlings, as for example legendary Thai sword and boxing monastery "Triratna", or shaolin's Vajra fist, etc
@@kaliyuddha I am adding to you,we could see in Yoga and Buddhist Science some ways/lessons for exercise our inner power/chi/prana/ki/tenaga dalam/tenaga jiwa.
No, cultural exchange don't always in one way but two ways. You can't claim "this come from that", the other way can also be true. It even happen today, it is "rojak". All races learn from each other and bring back what they learned to their home. All these origin theories are only want to claim superiority over others and it is stupid.
Indonesia don't exist before your sumpah pemuda..so how can you claim this old martial art that being practice by many people in the malay archipelago originate from that post colonial nation..stupid shit indon love to claim
Haha indon always want to claim ..in history hang tuah beat patih gajah mada from jawa in jawa ..than he has to give hang tuah keris taming sari...thats the fact..indon just bull shit..tipical indon just talk with no evidence....salam jari tengah don

And yet he still fails to recognise buddhist monks role in silat.

That’s really interesting. I didn’t know about the origin of Silat
it's still Mystery, because the Austronesian people they dont have "writing" in their culture, they are seafaring
some Silat styles i known :
Silek (Sumatran Minangkabau styles)
Cimande/Tjimande (West Java Style)
Silat Kuntau (from Dayak Tribes accross Borneo Island)
Kuntao is actually Chinese silat
@@malakatan3235 kuntao is a synthesis of southern kung fu style with south east asia combat style, therefore it count as silat style.
@@PartaiSolidaritaslndonesia Nope, at first kuntao only practice by Chinese, it was only mixed kung fu style, because no specific style, they just called all mixed kung fu as kuntao, later Kuntao influence silat & some not all kuntao get influenced by silat as exchange
@@malakatan3235 hahaha whatever. I am a kuntao practitioner for more than 15 years. May be you are better in argue, but I knew better I think.

A good teacher is a person who can explain things clearly and easy to understand, clearly, this sifu is a good teacher.

True, and as I’m not a Silat practitioner myself, it’s even harder to know who’s who. I’m gonna try for next year to give myself time to plan
@@taoizt3846 Looks like kung fu but I think silat develope seperately.
I think both seperatly came from different cultural dances or ritual dances.

Would be awesome to see a lot more on Malaysian and Indonesian martial arts
Very interesting thanks for share

Wenn du mehr über Salat lernen willst, kann ich dir eine gute botanische Enzyklopädie empfehlen!
Its s-I-lat with the capital i. Salat means prayer ^^.

The search for the origin, should begin with Indonesia
By Malay you mean Indonesian people
by malay means malay race.bangsa melayu covering malaysia,indonesia ,brunei,southern thai, and singapura.
silat originally from indonesia, not shit malay semenanjong 😂
